There will be a bumper grid when the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship rolls into Watkins Glen International for next weekend’s Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen.
The third round of the Tequila Patron North American Endurance Cup will feature a total of 55 entries, in the first combined race featuring all four classes since the Twelve Hours of Sebring in March.
Thirteen cars are entered in the Prototype class, highlighted by the return of the No. 9 Action Express Racing Corvette DP of brothers Burt and Brian Frisselle, who will be rejoined by Jon Fogarty.
The DeltaWing, meanwhile, also returns to action with Indy Lights star Gabby Chaves joining Katherine Legge at the wheel of the Elan-powered prototype.
Half of the P class teams have opted for three-driver lineups, with the return of Anthony Lazzaro (Extreme Speed Motorsports), Max Angelelli (Wayne Taylor Racing), Guy Cosmo (Marsh Racing) as well as Ben Devlin and Tristan Vautier (SpeedSource), who all drove for their respective teams at Sebring.
OAK Racing, meanwhile, will see Chinese driver Ho-Pin Tung make his TUDOR Championship debut alongside Gustavo Yacaman and Alex Brundle.
Prototype Challenge sees a 10-car entry, with no notable additions yet to be published, aside from the return of Eric Lux to the No. 25 8Star Motorsports Oreca FLM09 with Tom Kimber-Smith and Sean Rayhall.
The GT Le Mans class remains unchanged from its last outing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, except for the addition of Jamie Melo to the No. 57 Krohn Racing Ferrari F458 Italia.
Twenty-one GT Daytona cars have been entered, with a number of to-be-announced driver lineups.
Philipp Frommenwiler returns to the No. 22 Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT America, while Joe Foster will share the wheel of the No. 27 Dempsey Racing entry with Patrick Dempsey and Andrew Davis.
Sebastian Asch will make his debut for Magnus Racing, with Christina Nielsen filling in for Henrique Cisneros in the No. 30 MOMO NGT Motorsport Porsche. Ben Barker, meanwhile, will make his second consecutive start in the GB Autosport Porsche.
Finally, the No. 51 Spirit of Race Ferrari returns to action with Matt Griffin, Michele Rugolo and Jack Gerber at the wheel.
The Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen is set for June 27-29.
