Mercedes-AMG has, for some time, been formally evaluating a potential near-future entry in the Hypercar and/or GTP classes with an LMDh prototype, RACER understands. Multiple industry sources have …
Mercedes-AMG is seriously considering entering the Hypercar and/or GTP classes with an LMDh prototype, with talks ongoing with suppliers and rule-makers. If Mercedes-AMG decides to scale back its program, there is a possibility of debuting in the FIA WEC’s LMGT3 class as early as next season. However, time is limited for Mercedes to homologate the AMG GT3 Evo for LMGT3 competition in time for available grid spaces. Should Lamborghini withdraw its SC63 program, there might be room for Mercedes-AMG to enter the capped 40-car grid for 2025. Everything needs to align quickly for Mercedes to make its WEC debut next year, but there has been no official response from Mercedes-AMG Motorsport regarding a potential top-class program.
