Factory teams in GTLM and GTD for Daytona?

I’ve always been an open-wheel guy, but after seeing the GT3 machines in person at St. Petersburg last year, I’v been converted. I’ve never been so excited for the Daytona 24 hour, and I’m going to make an effort to follow the GT classes more than the prototypes. So just for fun I’m trying to make a list of factory supported GT efforts.

Off the top of my head obviously the Corvettes and the exciting new Ford GT. The new Ferrari 488 GTLM looks stunning, but I don’t think it’s a factory effort, unless Risi is considered a factory team?

I went over to Aston Martin’s racing website just for fun and apparently they have a factory team in the GTD class. Are there any other non-customer efforts that I haven’t realized?

I’ll go list down every GT team. GTLM first, then GTD. The notations in the parentheses are my doing, to make it easier to name the cars (also because I find “The n. 3 Corvette” or such a phrase a bit too long).
