Stefan Wendl, Head of Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing : « Our line-up for the 2026 GT World Challenge Europe season reflects the exceptionally high quality of our customer sports programme. With its sprint and endurance format, the series is extremely demanding, but we are ready to take on the challenge with a strong driver and team line-up. Our goal is to once again demonstrate the competitiveness of the Mercedes-AMG GT3, achieve top results in both classifications and compete for the title in both the individual classes and the overall standings. »
