Bartone With GetSpeed to Return to Daytona With GTD Pro Effort

Bartone Bros. Racing with GetSpeed Performance will return to the Rolex 24 at Daytona for the second consecutive year to again field its Mercedes-AMG GTD Pro effort.

Anthony Bartone has been confirmed as the first driver aboard the No. 69 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo, with the remaining drivers to be named at a later date.

“I am looking forward to the second go-around for me and the Getspeed team at the Rolex 24,” said Bartone. “Last year we had a good showing; the car got away from us in the heat a little, but we learned from it.

“It was a run to be proud of. As my dad said, ‘They knew we were there.’ We are looking to build upon that success and show that improvement come January.”

The No. 69 Mercedes-AMG, which Bartone shared with Luca Stolz, Maxime Martin and Fabian Schiller, finished fifth in class in Jauary’s Florida endurance classic.

Bartone has been regularly competing with the Adam Osieka-led stable in Europe across the 2025 season, contesting a full GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Endurance Cup campaign as well as racing at Road to Le Mans and International GT Open.

Additionally, the Miami resident has already been confirmed for an Asian Le Mans Series campaign with GetSpeed, which kicks off at Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit in December.

“Coming back to Daytona in 2026 is something truly special for us,” Osieka said.

“This return wouldn’t be possible without our strong partnership with Bartone Bros. Racing and Anthony Bartone – a collaboration built on trust, ambition, and the shared pursuit of excellence.

“Together we head back to one of the most iconic endurance races in the world. We know what to expect this time, and we’re ready to take on the challenge again.”
