Creventic has released a 61-car entry list for the Michelin 6H Abu Dhabi, headlined by a 30-car GT3 field.

The second round of the Middle East Trophy will be held on Jan. 9-10 at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit, with seven different manufacturers making up the top category.

Team WRT, the previous winners of the event, are BMW’s sole representative with a single car for Anthony McIntosh, Parker Thompson and Dan Harper, who will also take on the FIA World Endurance Championship season together.

Porsche is the best represented brand in the class with no fewer than ten entries, with regular squads like Car Collection Motorsport, Herberth Motorsport, Enrico Fulgenzi Racing, Origine Motorsport, Dinamic GT and Earl Bamber Motorsport all taking part.

Herberth fields three cars, with Antares Au and Loek Hartog notably joined by Huub van Eijndhoven as the Dutchman makes his GT3 debut after several years of competing in single-make Porsche machinery.

Winward Racing’s two-car effort spearheads a seven-car pack for Mercedes-AMG teams, with TFT Racing, Team Motopark, Hofor Racing, EBM and Ajith RedAnt Racing also taking part.

HAAS RT, Continental Racing by Simpson Motorsport and Sainteloc Junior Team all field Audi machinery, while Ferrari is represented by Dragon Racing, Scuderia Praha and Japanese squad Maezawa Racing.

Optimum Motorsport has entered a pair of McLaren 720S GT3 Evos, with the GT3 grid rounded out by Lamborghini entries from ARC Bratislava and Leipert Motorsport.

The five-car GT4 field consists of a pair of Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS entries from Team Sorg Rennsport and Razoon More Than Racing, a Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO2 from French squad Circuit Toys, the Cerny Motorsport BMW M4 GT4 EVO and an Audi R8 LMS GT4 entered by Primus Racing.
