AF Corse will expand its CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa effort by adding two extra Pro-Am entries with Blake McDonald, Custodio Toledo and Riccardo Agostini notably all making their debuts in the Ardennes endurance classic.

The three drivers will be joined aboard a Ferrari 296 GT3 by McDonald’s GT World Challenge America powered by AWS co-driver Matt Bell, while both Toledo and Agostini were also active in the U.S.-based championship with AF Corse last year.

They have since transitioned into a European program with the Amato Ferrari-led squad, joining the European Le Mans Series and taking an LMGT3 class win at the most recent round at Paul Ricard.

Out of the four drivers, only Bell has competed at the 24H Spa before, with his most recent appearance dating back to 2023, when he drove a Haupt Racing Team Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo in the Pro-Am ranks.

The second Pro-Am entry will be spearheaded by reigning 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Miguel Molina, who is joined by Stephane Lemeret and the father-and-son pairing of Luis and Matias Perez Companc.

The Perez Compancs team up together at a major endurance race for the second time this year, having previously shared an AF Corse Oreca 07 Gibson in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in March.

Lemeret, meanwhile, returns to the 24H Spa for the first time since 2022, when he drove a CMR Bentley Continental GT3.

AF Corse is already represented by three, full-time GTWC Europe Endurance Cup entries at Spa, headlined by a two-car Pro effort and an additional car competing in Bronze Cup.

Ferrari, meanwhile, has been registered as a full season Intercontinental GT Challenge manufacturer for the first time since 2022.

It sits third in the manufacturers’ standings after February’s Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour, trailing championship leaders BMW by 25 points.

The full entry list for the 78th running of the 24H Spa is set to be released later today, which also marks the first of two days of on-track running for the official Prologue.
