The entry list for the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship was unveiled Thursday.

A total of 31 cars will take part in the third season of the FIA WEC, only one entry shy of the maximum capacity for the globe-trotting championship.

The new-for-2014 regulations in LMP1 will see a three-way factory fight between Audi, Toyota and Porsche, while the LMP1-L class for privateers features entries from Rebellion Racing (Rebellion R-One Toyota) and Lotus (Lotus T129 AER).

A total of seven cars will be on the grid in LMP2, led by two-car Oreca-Nissan entries from SMP Racing and Millenium Racing (Delta-ADR).

A single Morgan-Nissan has been entered  by OAK Racing to run under the G-Drive Racing banner, while Strakka Racing has only one Strakka-Dome S103 entry. KCMG’s Oreca 03 rounds out the class, which entirely features Nissan power.

GTE-Pro sees a seven-car entry, with returning two-car efforts from AF Corse (Ferrari), Aston Martin Racing and Porsche Team Manthey.

Ram Racing will make its FIA WEC debut with a Ferrari F458 Italia in both GTE-Pro and GTE-Am.

There are a total of eight GTE-Am entries, led by defending team champions 8Star Motorsports, which will run alongside two AF Corse Ferraris, one of which sees Pecom Racing’s Luis Perez Companc at the wheel.

Proton Competition will campaign one of Porsche’s 2013-spec 911 RSRs, while ProSpeed Competition will have a 2012-spec GT3 RSR for the championship.

Aston Martin Racing completes the entry with two Vantages, one for Canadian driver Paul Dalla Lana.

Unveiled as part of the ACO’s annual press conference in Paris, all FIA WEC teams have received automatic invites to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The entry lists for the twice-around-the-clock French endurance classic, as well as the European Le Mans Series, were also unveiled.
