Team changes

• Initially, only 2 of the teams that competed in the 2015 season, Draig Racing and YTF1, chose to continue into the 2016 season. However, SimTech Motorsport and Hinss Motorsport would also join them as they signed up to the series after the initial deadline, the latter expanding to a 2-car entry in the process.
• Eleven teams entered the Atlantic Series for the first time: Cosmo Autosport, Duck Tape Racing, Evolution Motorsports, Holland Racing Team, Kernow Sport, MadCape Racing Team, Measuric Racing, Musto Racing, Thunder Motorsports, Feeder Sport Poland Junior and Rookie Racing - DTR, Musto, Thunder, Feeder Sport and Rookie making their GPVWC debuts.
