trahsub should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
It's nice to see Mercedes getting their toes back into sportscar racing.

They had this on a stand at the Spa 24 Hours. Sadly, as I pointed out to the 'Suits', they were next to the achingly beautiful Alfa TZ3...

Now THAT should be in GT3!

This thing just looks brutal. Especially in silver.

Why is everyone talking about the N24? FIA GT3 is an incredible series and the racing can only get better and better with newer cars. I've lost count how many manufacturers currently make GT3 cars but adding Mercedes to that list is fantastic news for international GT racing. Now can people stop knocking GT3 all the time please? GT2 is fine, but this needs to be headlining a race, not spend 5 hours getting lapped by diesels.

I´ll take the Nürburgring 24h over a full FIA GT3 season any day but that's just me.

The biggest turnoff about the GT3 championship for me are the drivers..

Let's see: 24 hours vs 5x 2 hours of racing, that's easy.

Yup, that's part of the problem. In fact ADAC GT-Masters and FFSA-GT (and perhaps also Belcar) are actually stronger in their driver-lineups than the European Championship.

No doubt they'll be factory entered, Jager and Schneider to fill two seats?

Article speculates that they are probably certainly in their but not confirmed.

So Merc fans can put 13-14-15 January in their calendars. Should be interesting to see this car in race livery.
A semi return of the silver arrows to Endurance Racing!

Oops, forgot about the VLN news. Thanks for correcting me!

That will be an interesting showdown and shakedown of the car.

And if I haven't mistranslated my German, a win for the Black Falcon entered AMG GT3 in the rain shortened 4hr. VLN event this weekend.
