| Ferrari entered Taruffi and Villoresi using #12, but opted for the former. Eitel and Landi signed up with #28 and 30, but withdrew from participating and ended up leasing car 28 to Étancelin. Trintignant used #30, that was left vacant, with his Gordini. Hirt replaced Schoeller in Espadon #36, and ended up sharing a car with Fischer, who had problems with Espadon #34. Parnell entered as Hawthorn’s reserve. | |||||||
