GetSpeed Increasing Endurance Cup Effort to Three Cars

Mercedes-AMG team GetSpeed Performance is set to increase its Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup powered by AWS operation to three cars this year.

The German squad on Wednesday outlined its program for the five-round season, including a continuation in the Pro class.

GetSpeed, which is entering its fourth Endurance Cup campaign, will also carry on in Silver Cup and add an extra Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo to the Bronze Cup class.

The Bronze division, which is set to require a Silver and Bronze-rated driver in a three-person lineup, will award an automatic invitation to next year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans for the title-winning team.

“The final driver options for the Silver and Bronze vehicles are being finalized,” said GetSpeed team principal Adam Osieka.

“Interested drivers are welcome to contact us. We will announce the strong crew for the Pro vehicle shortly.”

GetSpeed finished second in last year’s 24 Hours of Spa with Luca Stolz, Maximilian Goetz and Steijn Schothorst.

Stolz and Schothorst went on to finish fifth in the Endurance Cup drivers’ standings after also taking a podium at the Imola season-opener and fourth place at Hockenheim.

GetSpeed also fielded a Silver Cup entry for Valdemar Eriksen, Sebastian Baud and Jeff Kingsley, along with an additional third Mercedes-AMG for Spa in the Gold Cup.
