2. James Kell withdrew from round 1 shortly before the qualifying sessions due to health reasons. Påverud was allowed to compete solo for the remainder of the event.^[14]
3. Mukovoz is Russian, but he competes as a neutral competitor as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Gvazava, also a Russian, competes under a Kyrgyz licence for the same reason.

1. Car No. 991 entered as Century Motorsport at rounds 2–4, and as Paradine Competition at round 5.
