A total of 27 cars are set for Saturday evening’s third annual Lone Star Enduro at Circuit of The Americas, Pirelli GT4 America’s sole three-hour race of the season.

The entry list for the third round of the season, following a pair of traditional 60-minute races that opened the season last month at Sonoma Raceway, sees a slight drop in entries from the 31 cars that took part in California.

Advance Motorsports and Off Leash Motorsports, two new teams to SRO America competition, are currently not listed with its McLaren Artura GT4 and Mercedes-AMG GT4, respectively.

Additionally, LAP Motorsports’ Ford Mustang GT4 and the Rigid Speed Company BMW M4 GT4 EVO are also not slated to take part.

While there are no additions to the grid, the No. 37 Dome Motorsport Mercedes-AMG has undergone a driver change, with Laura Hayes replaced by Ron Tomlinson alongside team owner Ed Kileen in the Am class entry.

Following their sweep of the weekend at Sonoma, RAFA Racing Team’s Westin Workman and Tyler Gonzalez will be seeking their first endurance win together in the No. 68 Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2.

While Random Vandals Racing’s Kenton Koch and Sam Craven came out on top of Pro-Am in Race 2 at Sonoma, Race 1 winners Matheus Leist and Matt Travis, of Nolasport, lead the way in the class standings entering the weekend.

In the Am class, the Random Vandals duo of Denny Stripling and Judson Holt will look to continue their winning ways after also being undefeated on the season in their No. 188 BMW.

GT4 America cars take to the track for the first time on Thursday for a 90-minute test session, followed by two practice sessions on Friday, qualifying on Saturday and the three-hour enduro getting underway at 5 p.m. CST running into the sunset.

Live coverage of the race will be available on SRO’s GT World YouTube channel and on Twitch.
