AMG Teases Extreme GT Track Sport as Blueprint for Next-gen GT3 and Black Series

Mercedes‑AMG previews the Concept AMG GT Track Sport, the foundation for the next-gen GT3 racer and the upcoming GT Black Series.

Prototypes are undergoing testing at the Nurburgring after earlier runs at various tracks, signaling AMG’s plan for the most extreme Black Series yet and a road-going homologation model for the GT3 that aims to rival the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Sebring Notebook: Michelin’s Endurance Tire Tests, Pole Surprises and Partnerships

Sebring’s 12 Hours weekend centers on Michelin’s new Pilot Sport Endurance tire and a tight pole fight: Misha Goikhberg earned WeatherTech Championship pole for Bryan Herta Autosport/PR1 after a red-flag disrupted practice, while GTD Pro saw Jack Hawksworth set a lap record in his 100th start and Eduardo Barrichello take GTD pole as Winward’s No. 48 drops to the rear for a ride-height violation; the No. 1 BMW M4 GT3 EVO moves to the front row in GTD Pro. The event also covers 2030 prototype-rule discussions, Max Esterson’s iRacing Sebring prep, and a wave of partnerships and veteran initiatives (Lexus as official vehicle, Mobil 1 sponsorship extension, Operation Motorsport) ahead of a race that will test tire strategy, endurance, and competition.
