Instead, the #79 Mercedes-AMG GT3 will be driven at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta by three Mercedes factory drivers – Maximilian Gotz, Maximilian Buhk and Mikael Grenier. The car will be competing in GTD Pro with support from Mercedes-Benz of Billings, Montana.
The WeatherTech Racing/Proton Competition team comes into the event as defending Motul Petit Le Mans race winners, with the WeatherTech brand taking a one-two finish in last year’s race in the GTD Pro category. Of the three drivers that will be tasked with defending the race win, just one, Buhk, has competed in the event in the past.
