Fifty-five cars are on the provisional entry list for next weekend’s penultimate round of the Blancpain GT Series at Nürburgring, with the three-hour race deciding the titles in the Endurance Cup.

While the number of entries has remained consistent, there is plenty of movement to be observed throughout the field.
