Four cars are entered for the LMGTE class at the two day event with three Ferraris and one Porsche taking the opportunity to test before the start of the season. British team RAM Racing will be brining both their Ferrari 458s and will be joined by Swiss team Kessel Racing with their 458. IMSA Performance Matmut will run their Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
No GTC teams will take part in the test due to cars still being prepared or being used for private testing or racing elsewhere. Five cars are officially entered in the 2013 European Le Mans Series and will be seen on the grid at Silverstone for the opening round on the 12-13 April.
As well as the two days of testing, the event at Paul Ricard will feature interview and photographic opportunities for the media with both cars and drivers.
