The Paul Ricard entry list for the Asian Le Mans Series 2026/27 opener features 46 cars, including two Ferrari 499P Hypercars. The series announced the field on 2 November 2026 for Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, France. Two four-hour races will run on 14–15 November, although the entry list remains provisional.
For fans, the headline is Hypercar’s first appearance in the series. However, the distinction between this round’s 46 cars and the previously announced 47 full-season entries matters just as much.
How many cars are entered for the 2026 Asian Le Mans Series race at Paul Ricard?
The opener has 46 entries: two Hypercars, 16 LMP2 cars and 28 GT3 cars. The official Asian Le Mans Series announcement confirms that breakdown and the November race dates.
| Class | Paul Ricard entries | Key detail |
|---|---|---|
| Hypercar | 2 | Two Ferrari 499Ps |
| LMP2 | 16 | Second-largest class |
| GT3 | 28 | Largest class in the field |
| Total | 46 | Round-specific provisional entry |
GT3 therefore supplies more than half the cars. Meanwhile, the two Ferrari prototypes give the opening weekend a separate headline beyond the size of the grid.
DailySportsCar’s original 2 November report says most previously unconfirmed driver positions have been filled. However, one sentence gives the GT count as 29. The official figure is 28, which brings the class totals to 46.
Which Ferrari 499P teams are racing in the 2026/27 Asian Le Mans Series?
Cetilar Racing and AF Corse each enter one Ferrari 499P. Cetilar carries No. 47, while AF Corse runs No. 90.
The series had already announced the two teams before publishing the opener’s field. Its Ferrari 499P team announcement provides that background.
| Car | Team | Ferrari 499P drivers |
|---|---|---|
| No. 47 | Cetilar Racing | Roberto Lacorte, Nicola Lacorte, Antonio Fuoco |
| No. 90 | AF Corse | Luis Pérez Companc, Yifei Ye, Nicklas Nielsen |
For spectators, those numbers provide a simple way to identify the two Hypercar entries throughout the weekend. However, two cars in the class should not obscure the much larger LMP2 and GT3 fields.

Unlike the initial headline, the official announcement supplies the race dates. However, the research supplied for this report does not establish race start times, ticket arrangements or broadcast details.
As a result, fans should not treat the dates as a complete attendance schedule. Check the organiser’s latest information before arranging arrival times, grandstand access or a viewing plan.

Is the Paul Ricard entry list final?
No. The linked entry list is provisional, and some driver positions still show TBC. A 46-car headline does not mean every seat has a confirmed name.
Likewise, a report that line-ups are almost complete does not make the document final. Teams, car numbers and named drivers provide the current picture, but remaining blanks still need confirmation.
For now, the clearest approach is to separate three facts: the announced field contains 46 cars, both Ferrari crews have been named, and some other driver positions remain unresolved.
What classes are competing in the 2026/27 Asian Le Mans Series?
The Paul Ricard field combines Hypercar, LMP2 and GT3. However, readers should distinguish the opener’s entry from the full-season announcement.
The series previously announced 47 full-season entries for its special Europe-based season. By contrast, the latest Paul Ricard announcement lists 46 cars for the first two races.
Those figures describe different entry lists, so they should not be used interchangeably. The supplied information does not establish why the totals differ. Consequently, it would be premature to describe the difference as a confirmed withdrawal.
