#30 had Daponte initially entered, but was later occupied by Uria in the same car. While everyone agrees that Schell’s entry was factory official, the event program cites Schell as a private entry.

Ferrari shared its #10 car between Farina and Maglioli. With Trintignant’s retirement with #14 Ferrari, he also drove both the #10 car and the #12 car of González, which Farina also drove. Those points were shared. Mercedes used the same expedient in car #8 with Herrmann, Moss and Kling, who also shared the points. Maserati and Lancia also shared their cars, but neither of them made it to the points.
