Several FIA World Endurance Championship teams have pulled the covers off their liveries ahead of the season opener in Qatar.
Similarly to last year, the No. 83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P will head into the season with a predominantly yellow color scheme that mirrors the Prancing Horse’s pair of factory cars.
Notably, Ferrari’s switch to a darker shade of red, as seen on the No. 50 and No. 51 cars revealed last week, is also visible on the No. 83 car in the striping that runs across the along the roof, the top of the sidepods and over the rear wheel arches.
Robert Kubica and Yifei Ye, two-thirds of the lineup that took victory in last year’s Lone Star Le Mans at Circuit of The Americas, have been retained and will be joined by former Hertz Team JOTA driver Phil Hanson.

AF Corse also showed off a largely unchanged livery for its pair of LMGT3 entries, which will both again run in a silver and red scheme with branding from Thomas Flohr’s VistaJet company.
The most notably change comes in the updated number design for the No. 21 car for Francois Heriau, Simon Mann and Alessio Rovera, which more closely resembles that used during the final year of the GTE-Am ruleset in 2023.

United Autosports has added more orange to its pair of McLaren 720S GT3 Evos ahead of the brand’s second season in LMGT3 competition, with the Woking brand’s signature Papaya shade now running fully across the top of the car, as well as on the rear wing, splitter and side bodywork.
Three new drivers join the Anglo-American squad this season, with Darren Leung, Sean Gelael and Sebastien Baud coming over from Team WRT and TF Sport, respectively, while James Cottingham, Marino Sato and Gregoire Saucy have all been retained.

TF Sport will head into its sophomore LMGT3 campaign with a pair of fully yellow Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs, as the black that featured on last year’s cars has been eliminated.
