Team changes

The field was reduced from thirty-four to thirty-one cars after Crown Racing and TMG Racing decreased their operations from three to two cars and RKL left the series after two seasons. Full Time Sports was the only team that increased its operation from four to five cars.

Crown Racing changed from Chevrolet to Toyota and announced a technical alliance with TMG Racing.[26]

Full Time Sports divided its operations into three, two cars with the Mobil Ale name, and one under the Texaco Racing name. After seven seasons Bassani Racing did not return as a subsidiary of FTS.

Pole Motorsport reverted to its original name after the Shell oil company ended its support for the team.[27]

R.Mattheis Motorsport and TMG Racing swapped their main sponsors. Lubrax switched to TMG and Blau Pharmaceutical moved to R.Mattheis.[6]

Diego Nunes, Pedro Cardoso and Galid Osman left the series to join TCR South America.

Eduardo Barrichello moved up to the series with Full Time Sports after competing part time with the team in 2021 and 2022.[9]

Enzo Elias graduated from Porsche Cup Brasil to race full time at Crown Racing.[28] He replaced Cacá Bueno and Rodrigo Baptista, who left the team and joined KTF Sports.

Felipe Massa and Júlio Campos left R.Mattheis Motorsport to join TMG Racing. Allam Khodair, who raced for R.Mattheis in 2022, joined TMG alongside Felipe Fraga, who returned for the series after competing in the DTM.[6]

Lucas Foresti left KTF to replace Matias Rossi at A.Mattheis Vogel. Rossi returned to Full Time Sports, replacing Rafael Suzuki, who joined Pole Motorsport.[29]

Lucas Kohl graduated from Stock Series to race for Hot Car Competições alongside Gaetano di Mauro, who left KTF Sports. Felipe Lappena and Tuca Antoniazzi, who raced for Hot Car in 2022, both left the series.
