Will Martin, Hunter Abbott and Daniil Move were scheduled to compete for GetSpeed, JMW Motorsport and Ziggo Sport – Tempesta Racing, but were replaced prior to the start of the season.

Laurin Heinrich, who had joined Schumacher CLRT for the race, later opted to contest IMSA's 6 Hours of Watkins Glen instead, and was replaced by Frédéric Makowiecki. Kenzie Beecroft switched cars from the No. 8 Car Collection to the No. 914 Razoon entry, with the former drafting in Reinhold Krahn instead. Vanina Ickx and Paul Meijer, who were listed in the No. 123 Mühlner Porsche, stepped down after the Prologue. Era Motorsport was a late withdrawal from the 24 Hours of Spa. Jake Hill and team owner Kyle Tilley had been confirmed in the No. 81 Porsche 911 GT3 R (992.2) in Bronze Cup.
