Those look fairly balanced and both strong, hard to say who will be the quicker car there.

Maybe just the Thiim car, only because I’d say Kirchhofer is maybe a little less experienced than Vaxiviere.

Thiim vs Martin I think is probably balanced, maybe Brundle vs Dennis the same. I’d say Dennis is raw speed, but Brundle is fast consistency

Can you quote the exact sentence where Honda is confirmed for Spa 24?

No.
This article says that Honda Team Motul will participate in Suzuka 10h race, and Mobility land sets Spa-Suzuka cup trophy for Suzuka 10h race.
This trophy is given to the team which enters both Spa 24h and Suzuka 10h, and marks the largest total number of laps in the both race.

I was under the impression that HTP were doing the full endurance series this year not just select races

That was an early suggestion but recently it had looked like a much smaller campaign in AM only

Test day entry list, very much more PRO AM focused

Bit of a Ferrari / Mercedes fest at the moment

I made the same mistake. It's actually Euan Mckay not Hankey at TF Sport

There will be one offs as some of the races. I think you can have the 60 minute race with 20-24 cars and be just fine as long as you have the manufacturer diversity still. I think only Nissan, Porsche, and Acura are the major makes missing from the Sprint GT entry list.

You mean HONDA? Europe here..

Nissan, Honda, Porsche, Mclaren, Bentley all missing.

Mclaren likely to be running a Endurance only program due to development of their new 720s GT3....

Nissan and Bentley have never run cars in Sprint.

Porsche have only seen AM cars here and there.

I think 20 is plenty for Sprint. Last year was too much, you cant really keep track of whats happening with that many cars in sprint format.

I hope we see some one off entries here and there, be great to see a Honda for a race, and maybe even an early running of the 720s.

Felix Serralles seems to be the driver missing in that list, assuming the render on their Facebook page is correct.
