I would say these 5 manufacturers will definitely be in LMGT3 due to them being in Hypercar as well in 2024:
- Porsche
- Ferrari
- BMW
- Corvette (since both Cadillac and Corvette are part of GM)
- Lamborghini
If certain GT teams are adament about being on the grid, it wouldn't surprise me if they would switch to these manufacturers due to their parent or sub company being in Hypercar 2024:
- Lexus (if the GT team can persuade Toyota to let them)
- Nissan (since Alpine falls under the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance)
If Honda approves entering the WEC Hypercar class:
- Honda
Then there are GT teams of manufacturers who aren't in Hypercar, but expressed desire to enter LMGT3. In order of likelihood I would say:
- Ford (too big of a manufacturer to deny in their return to GT racing while publicly expressing desire to return to Le Mans)
- Aston Martin (has been loyal to the GT class for years)
- Mercedes-AMG (also too big of a manufacturer to deny, however they don't have the history of Ford nor the loyalty of Aston Martin)
- McLaren (I just don't see them getting the nudge over Mercedes)
- Audi (discontinued their Hypercar/LMDh project and is most likely stopping customer support)
