Mercedes-AMG Motorsport will not miss the fight, the reigning champion who will have to defend his title from the assaults of his compatriots Audi Sport, BMW M Motorsport (for which Valentino Rossi is in action in Europe) and Porsche Motorsport.
Finally, McLaren also decided to enter the renewed 720S GT3 Evo for a lot of money to score points through the various championships and fight for the absolute top of the category.
“GT World Challenge is shaping up to be strong for 2023, with full grids in Europe and Asia, as well as strong growth in America and Australia,” said Stephane Ratel, Founder and CEO of SRO Motorsports Group.
“This is an outstanding global series, specifically designed for the manufacturers competing in customer team racing, who can demonstrate their strength in all categories and all over the world. We look forward to another year of top-level GT3 competition.”
