Team Changes

Exited the WGPC

Four teams, all in the bottom four finishing positions of WGPC 20, did not return for WGPC 21:

• After competing in the prior two seasons, scoring a total of 105 points, Kaylan Racing Team did not return.
• Carvenlo Racing, after having run their fifteenth intermittent WGPC season during WGPC 20 and finishing 13th, chose not to return for a third consecutive season.
• Sivaleinen LCR Origas, after finishing 14th in WGPC 20, did not return.
• Scuderia Orange Cow, after finishing 12th in WGPC 20, chose to suspend their WGPC operations instead of renewing their license for the season.

Entered the WGPC

• Kissan Motorsport returned to WGPC competition for the season. The team last competed in WGPC 16, after which they sold their WGPC operations to Badai Angin Tim Motorsport.
• HMG Grand Prix, after a 13th place campaign in the WGP2 Season 6 Teams' Championship, opted to promote themselves to the WGPC.
• HiTEN.gpt, an all-new team from Hodori, plans to make their WGPC debut this season.
• After the revocation of GPA Pryfors Bilar's WGPC license, Piers Ivchenko Motorsports was admitted to the WGPC to retain the number of teams to 13. GPA Pryfors Bilar would later be reinstated by the World Grand Prix Organisation, increasing the number of teams to 14.

Name and Supplier Changes

• UrGa Motorsports Division will have their in-house engine this season, replacing Preston Autos, and will also supply engines to Piers Ivchenko Motorsport. They also switched tyre suppliers from Tropicorp to Solymok, with the latter making their return to WGPC competition.
• Tropicorp-Colorworks Grand Prix was renamed to Ælund Grand Prix to reflect a change in ownership structure following the clearance from Abovian authorities of their WGPC operations. They switched engine suppliers from Tropicorp to their in-house engine in a similar move with UrGa, but retained Tropicorp as their tyre supplier.
• Cygnus Motorsport switches suppliers from Tropicorp to Sturmburgher engines and Brimstone tyres.
• Preston Autos Grand Prix also switches tyre supplier from Tropicorp to Brimstone.
• Pressley Racing switches engine and tyre suppliers from Kaylan and Brusteinn to become a Tropicorp customer team.
• Fireline Motorsports from Ethane parted ways with Eminent WGPC Team, as the team will be fully administered under Lisanderian control as of this season. They also change tyre suppliers from Phoenician-In Motion to Blue Suphurate.

Viska Racing, Race Eelandii VTGP Motorworks, GPA Pryfors Bilar, and Nexus Racing retained their engine and tyre suppliers from last season.
