Mercedes-AMG, 16 cars to defend its title at the 24 Hours of Spa

Mercedes-AMG is determined. The sporting branch of the German manufacturer has presented its workforce for the 24 2023 Hours of Spa (June 26 to July 2). And the least we can say is that he is determined to retain the title acquired in 2022 thanks to Akkodis-ASP and the trio Jules Gounon-Daniel Juncadella-Raffaele Marciello.

In total, no less than 16 Mercedes-AMG GT3s will roam the Ardennes slide at the end of the month. The brand with the star counts in particular on 4 of them entered in Pro: the No. 87 (Thomas Drouet-Lorenzo Ferrari-Maximilian Götz) and N°88 (Timur Boguslavskiy-Jules Gounon-Raffael Marciello) of Akkodis-ASP, N°777 of TeamAlManar (Lucas Auer-Fabian Schiller-Lucas Stolz) and N°999 of Team GruppeM (Maro Engel-Mikaël Grenier-Daniel Juncadella).

The twelve remaining Mercedes-AMG GT3s will be scattered across the different categories with 2 in Gold, 1 in Silver, 5 in Bronze and 4 in Pro-Am.

« After last year's double and the 6 Hours of Paul-Ricard, we feel perfectly ready and hope that the 24 Hours of Spa will take place successfully again this year, advance Stefan Wendl, head of customer competition at Mercedes-AMG. We are aware that, given the strong opposition, this will not be an easy task. However, we are preparing meticulously for this race and four consecutive pole positions are impressive proof of the speed of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 at Spa-Francorchamps. We have a large contingent and we are fielding an impressive number of drivers and teams for the race. We are therefore optimistic, but we demonstrate the necessary humility before going to Belgium."
