Mexican sportscar star Memo Rojas, three-time winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona, headlines the new additions.

Rojas will drive for SMP-backed Russian squad AF Racing, joined by Julian Leal, the third-most experienced driver in GP2 history.

The other LMP2 spots will go to Formula 3.5 frontrunner Tio Ellinas and former Red Bull junior Lewis Williamson, the duo making up the Strakka line-up, and European F3 racer Matt Rao, who will test with Signatech.

In GT, Aston Martin will field a number of rookie racers from British GT. Ross Gunn and Jamie Chadwick, who won the 2015 GT4 class for Beechdean, will be joined by TF Sport duo of Jody Fannin and Matt Bell, as well as Oman Racing Team's Daniel Lloyd.
