Background[]

Entry List[]

Due to a highly controversial change made by the FIA/ACO in the 2018-19 FIA World Endurance Championship, which saw the date of the 6 Hours of Fuji moved to allow Fernando Alonso to compete at the home race of the sole LMP1 manufacturer, Toyota, several drivers which were due to compete in both events were unable to do so. ^[2]^[3] As such, the entry list featured a large number of changes compared to the previous rounds of the championship. ^[4]
