For the second year in succession, Mercedes-AMG Motorsport has prevailed against high-calibre competition to win the manufacturer's title in the GT World Challenge.
In the combined GT World Challenge Europe and America classification, the Customer Racing teams with their Mercedes-AMG GT3s amassed the largest points tally. The title defence was wrapped up in the season finale of the GT World Challenge Europe at Circuit Paul Ricard.
Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing also won three individual titles in the highly competitive GT3 racing series, including the prestigious drivers' championship. Timur Boguslavskiy (RUS) in the number 88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 fielded by AKKA ASP Team was the best of the GT3 drivers after 14 sprint and endurance races.
In the final six-hour race at Circuit Paul Ricard, the car driven by Boguslavskiy and his team-mates Maximilian Buhk (GER) and Raffaele Marciello (ITA) developed a fault, but despite their eventual P18 finish, he deservedly won the title by a nine-point margin.
The 20-year-old has ascended the podium no fewer than eight times this season, including two appearances on the top rung. Team-mate Marciello finished the season third in the drivers' championship.
Madpanda Motorsport and their driver Ezequiel Perez Companc (ARG) in the number 90 Mercedes-AMG GT3 contributed two more titles as winners of the team and driver standings in the Silver Cup.
The best race results in this category at Circuit Paul Ricard were posted by Sergei Afanasiev (RUS), Michele Beretta (ITA) and Hubert Haupt (GER) in the number 5 car of Haupt Racing with a P3 podium finish in their class.
The team and its driver pairing of Afanasiev and Haupt finished as runners-up in the final classification of the Endurance Cup.
