SRO Motorsports Group has released an updated, 75-car entry list for the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, confirming the withdrawal of the No. 424 Steller Motorsport Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R and locking in driver lineups for the third round of the Intercontinental GT Challenge season.

The second Steller Corvette drops off the grid after the car had no drivers listed when the original entry was released in April.

The British squad remains represented through its full season Silver Cup entry, which is set to be driven at Spa by Matisse Lismont, Daniel Ali, Lorcan Hanafin and Olivier Hart.

Across the grid, the release of the updated entry list confirms the final drivers for multiple teams that had not yet named these previously.

Notably, Team WRT has enlisted BMW factory driver Neil Verhagen to join Al Faisal Al Zubair, Ben Tuck and Jens Klingmann in its No. 777 Al Manar Racing BMW M4 GT3 EVO, while the lineup for the No. 30 Silver Cup car is completed by Pirre-Louis Chovet.

Daniel Morad has been confirmed as the fourth driver in the No. 57 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo alongside IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship regulars Russell Ward, Philip Ellis and Indy Dontje.

Frederik Schandorff joins the lineup for the No. 58 Garage 59 McLaren 720S GT3 Evo, while FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 racer Sebastien Baud has been added to the No. 54 Dinamic GT Porsche 911 GT3 R.

Dylan Pereira is amongst the drivers to have been added to Tresor Attempto Racing’s three-car effort, as the Luxembourg racer joins Andrey Mukovoz, Max Hofer and Alexei Nesov in the No. 66 Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II.

Meanwhile, the Arkin Aka-led squad has enlisted Rocco Mazzola and Philippe Denes for the No. 88 and No. 99 cars, respectively.

Fellow Audi squad Sainteloc Racing has signed Reece Gold and Lorenzo Donniacuo for the No. 25 and No. 26 Audis while DTM racer Ben Doerr joins Team RJN in the No. 23 McLaren.

Parker Thompson, another WeatherTech Championship regular, has been brought in to replace Isa Al Khalifa in the No. 222 S 2 Seas Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo.

Shaun Balfe, meanwhile, steps in for Miguel Ramos in the No. 188 Garage 59 McLaren.
