Fresh off winning on the streets of Macau, the official Mercedes-AMG Performance Team will look to continue its success in the first leg of the Intercontinental GT Challenge at Mount Panorama.
The team will run #888 at The Mountain for the first time in what will be its fifth attempt at the race.
The driver line-up for the solitary Mercedes-AMG GT3 has not yet been announced. In 2024, the team ran Maro Engel, Felipe Fraga, and David Reynolds.
Other line-ups have included Mikael Grenier, Raffaele Marciello, Maximilian Buhk, and Maximilian Goetz.
Formally known as GruppeM Racing, the Hong Kong-based squad has tasted success at The Mountain in its previous attempts.
On debut in 2019, the team qualified on pole position and went on to finish third.
