Lola
Driving a Lola-Mazda that was fresh out of the box, the Dyson-Smith-Kane trio could not match the hectic pace of the Honda ARX-03a of Muscle Milk at Sebring. Since then, the Dyson Racing team have become familiar with the prototype during private testing, and intend to show they are able to defend their LM P1 title.
Morgan
The Morgan LM P2 chassis is matched for the first time with Nissan power. OAK Racing continues to use the V8 Judd DB in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The American team Conquest Endurance will test the V8 Nismo this weekend.
Ferrari and Porsche
After a disappointing entry in Sebring, American representatives of Porsche and Ferrari will want to remain in contact with BMW and Corvette Racing in the title race. In Florida, the #1 Ferrari of Extreme Speed Motorsport was the victim of traffic, while Porsche suffered from a slight lack of pace.
Aston Martin
Again this year, the factory team gauges the competition at Long Beach. Under the gaze of many guests, the duo of Fernandez and Turner must confirm the potential of the V8 Vantage that was revised and improved this winter by Prodrive.
Lotus
Absent from the start of the season, the Lotus Evora enters competition with Alex Job Racing. Unveiled at the 1000 km of Spa-Francorchamps in 2011, the car has not yet managed to compete with Ferrari, Porsche and BMW. What will happen this season?
Michelin
On a street circuit that is particularly demanding, Michelin is launching a new front tyre for GTE. With a diameter increased by 3 cm, increase longevity is expected, the load being distributed over a larger area. This change affects Aston Martin, Corvette, Flying Lizard (Porsche) and Extreme Speed (Ferrari).
