Mercedes-AMG Motorsport to compete with high-quality line-up in 24-hour race at the Nürburgring
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Mercedes-AMG Motorsport is heading into #adactotal24hrace at the Nürburgring (3rd-6th June) well-prepared and with a strong line-up. The 49th running of the endurance #racing classic will see eight Mercedes-AMG GT3s, four of them with extended works support, and three Mercedes-AMG GT4s from a total of seven Customer #racing Teams on the starting grid, which will feature 125 competitors in total. Following the promising final rehearsal during the qualification race at the beginning of the month, with four cars from Affalterbach among the best twelve, Mercedes-AMG now also wants to achieve top results in the upcoming season highlight at the Nordschleife and, if possible, secure the third overall win after 2013 and 2016.
- Mercedes-AMG Motorsport aims at third overall win in the 24-hour race
- Eight Mercedes-AMG GT3s in the field of competitors, four of them with extended works support
- Three Mercedes-AMG GT4s entered in the SP8T and SP10 categories
Mercedes-AMG managed to decide the 24-hour race at the legendary race track in its favour already twice, most recently in 2016 as the performance and sports car brand from Affalterbach celebrated a historic quadruple victory. In order to achieve the eagerly awaited third overall win in the ‘Green Hell’, the Customer #racing Teams are relying on a high-quality driver line-up.
Like last year, Mercedes-AMG Team HRT is running its GT3 with starting number 4 with #adamchristodoulou (GBR), #maroengel, #manuelmetzger und #lucastolz (all GER). Meanwhile, #patrickassenheimer, #nicobastian, #huberthaupt and double starter #maroengel (all GER) will be alternating behind the wheel of the HRT sister car (#6). The #6 Mercedes-AMG GT3, still sporting a rather low-key black livery during the roll-out of the Mercedes-AMG Teams at the Nürburgring on 19th May, will be on the grid for the 24-hour race with a special colour scheme that is to be unveiled at a later stage and that surely will cause some furore.
Mercedes-AMG Team GetSpeed Performance is also competing with extended works support from Affalterbach: the drivers of the #7 Mercedes-AMG GT3 that finished fourth in the qualification race are Maximilian Götz (GER), Daniel Juncadella (ESP), Raffaele Marciello (ITA) and Fabian Schiller (GER). The second Performance Car (#8) run by the team from Meuspath will have Jules Gounon (FRA), Dirk Müller (GER), double starter Fabian Schiller and Matthieu Vaxiviere (FRA) as its drivers. Moreover, the team will be running a third GT3 in which Moritz Kranz (GER), Markus Palttala (FIN), Janine Shoffner (GBR) and Maxime Soulet (BEL) will be taking on the Nordschleife.
Also part of the GT3 line-up by Mercedes-AMG Motorsport are the cars from CP #racing (#16) and 10Q #racing Team (#40). While CP #racing is participating in the race with a purely American driver quartet with Charles Espenlaub, Joe Foster, Shane Lewis and Charles Putman, 10Q #racing Team will have Dominik Baumann (AUT), Yelmer Buurman (NED), Kenneth Heyer and Thomas Jäger (both GER) behind the wheel. A special element in the field for the 24-hour race is the Mercedes-AMG GT3 from Space Drive #racing: the #25 car, raced by Philip Ellis (SUI), Dominik Farnbacher, Tim Scheerbarth (both GER) and Darren Turner (GBR), has been equipped with the novel steer-by-wire technology and will be running in the SP-X class, specially created for those cars not fitting within the confines of the standard regulations.
The Mercedes-AMG GT4s also have chances of winning their classes: in 2020, BLACK FALCON Team TEXTAR (#36) finished second in the SP8T class and again finds itself in the extended circle of favourites following convincing achievements in the Nürburgring Endurance Series season rounds held so far. Moreover, the Nordschleife-proven Customer #racing Team Schnitzelalm #racing (#34 and #37) will be making its GT4 debut in the 24-hour race.
