***BMW Team Italia has announced the lineup for its entry in the Pro-Am category of the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup. Former Italian GT Champion Stefano Colombo, his Italian countryman Giorgio Roda and Dutchman Max Koebolt will crew the No. 15 BMW M6 GT3, run by ROAL Motorsport. The average age of the BMW Team Italia drivers is 22 years old.

***Romain Monti will race one of Saintéloc Racing’s Audi R8 LMS GT3 in the Blancpain Sprint Cup this season. The 2015 Maserati Trofeo World Series champion is set to compete in the Pro Cup with a yet-to-be announced teammate. Christopher Haase and Mike Parisy were already confirmed on the other Saintéloc Audi entered in the Sprint Cup.

***Besides its IMSA program, Konrad Motorsport will also field a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 in the Blancpain Endurance Cup, with Josh Webster the only driver confirmed so far. The Brit will have a double program at all the Blancpain meetings, as he’ll combine it with an entry in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, also with Konrad. Webster will already join the German squad for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring this weekend.

***A couple of days after the unveiling of the entry list for the Blancpain Endurance opener at Monza, Antonelli Motorsport added another Lamborghini Huracán GT3 to the grid. The car will be entered in the Pro-Am Cup with a yet-to-be confirmed lineup and will also race in the Italian GT Championship with Alberto Di Folco and Riccardo Agostini. Antonelli Motorsport competed in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo up until now.
