Entry list

Qualifying

Qualifying was split into two sessions, with Class A cars required to have an FIA Bronze-rated driver take part in the first and a higher-rated driver take part in the second. Results were formed by taking the aggregate times for each car from the two sessions. Class leaders are shown in bold.

Top Ten Shootout

Due to concerns over low tyre temperature, the traditional one-lap shootout was replaced by two fifteen minute sessions, the first for 6th to 10th positions in the qualifying session and the second from 1st to 5th positions.
