The test, which is open to the public, saw a total of 54 entries. They were divided into four classes, 13 Prototypes (P), 8 Prototype Challenge (PC), 11 Grand Touring Le Mans (GTLM) and 22 Grand Touring Daytona (GTD). Three of these four classes have entries powered by Chevrolet engines. They include the following; Prototype (four), Prototype Challenge (eight) and GTLM (two).
