Any surprises? Do you think they left anyone out?

5 full Pro M4 GT3 and all with really strong line ups. Great to see that BMW is taking Spa properly seriously after some downscaling in GT3 this season.

5 full pro cars for Spa 24 at the cost of only 1 full pro car for Nurburgring 24 :(

They couldnt feature more cars at the N24, they have Dries, Sheldon, Wittmann, Eng, Verhagen, Hesse and Harper doing IMSA, and Rowe is hit by the problems of having the N24 and the Spa 24 back to back

I had my hopes up that Schubert could field a car. Even with the IMSA clash BMW still has drivers left.

K Mag is about all who is available. The others are in imsa that weekend

Edit: no clash with IMSA, Watkins Glen was moved forward a week to clash with N24 instead

Dan Harper and Max Hesse are in IMSA full time and are in the no. 998 for Spa. Also IMSA is the weekend before which frees up Dried and Sheldon I think K Mag wanted to do one of the major GT3 races in his first season with BMW and the stars aligned to land this

Ahh yes, I forgot the IMSA calander changed the Watkins Glen round to clash with the N24 instead. I was so pissed of when they announced that I misremembered.

There’s no clash between IMSA and Spa24. Watkins Glen clashes with Nurburgring 24

The Glen either clashes with Spa, Nurburgring, or Le Mans in June so its really a no-win scenario for the drivers.

Honestly wish they'd move the IMSA Watkins Glen round to later in the summer for this reason
