[1] - Amanda Stretton was entered as a driver, but had to withdraw due to being pregnant.
[2] - Car entered was a Courage-JPX C65 (3400cc) for Marc Goossens/Jean-Philippe Belloc/Alexander Frei, but a disagreement meant that engines were not available. Hence Courage entry was reduced from 2 cars to 1 car, and driver line-up was changed.
[3] - As for the factory Courage team, the Epsilon team suffered the same fate, and had to replace the engine of its Courage-JPX C65.
