The French outfit has won each of the last two GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup titles with Mercedes, as well as claiming victory at the Spa 24 Hours in 2022, but has switched to Toyota-owned Lexus brand for 2024 in a move triggered by the WEC's move to adopt GT3 cars for the first time.
It was made clear that the new LMGT3 class that replaces GTE Am would prioritise manufacturers with an existing presence in the Hypercar class, which meant a Mercedes entry was unlikely to be admitted.
