Mercedes-AMG lifts the veil on its crews

The objective of Mercedes-AMG in this 51^e edition of the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring (May 20-21) is very clear: leave with the overall victory which would represent the 3^e from the German manufacturer after those of 2013 and 2016.

It is for this reason that the firm decided to enter no less than six Mercedes-AMG GT3s for this 51^e edition of the double clock tower of the Green Hell. The supported teams will be Team GetSpeed, Team BILSTEIN and Schnitzelalm Racing with two cars each.

As for Team GetSpeed, no changes are to be reported for this year 2023. Second in 2022, Adam Christodoulou, Maximilian Götz and Fabian Schiller are leaving for a lap together and will be on the No. 2 while Maro Engel, Jules Gounon and Daniela Juncadella will be associated again, this time on the No. 3.

At Team Bilstein, we also relied on experience and on men who know the Mercedes-AMG GT3 very well. Phillip Ellis, Raffaele Marciello and Luca Stolz will take turns aboard the No. 4. Hubert Haupt, Jordan Love and Arjun Maini will be on the No. 6.

Finally, Schnitzelalm Racing called on Marek Böckmann, Kenneth Heyer, Marcel Marchewicz and Luca-Sandro Trefz to form the crew of the No. 10. On the No. 11 we also find four drivers with Patrick Assenheimer, Marek Böckmann, Colin Caresani and Marcel Marchewicz. Note that the Niederzissen team is entered in the Pro-Am category.

« After our historic victory in 2016, we had some tough times in the years that followed, but most recently we managed to get back on the podium, rejoices Christoph Sagemüller, boss of Mercedes-AMG Motorsport. Nevertheless, we are in the race to win and to bring the title back to Affalterbach after several years of drought. The objective is therefore clear."
