41 GT3 cars will race in the top, SP9, class of the Nürburgring 24h. Although the track is considered ruthless, for 40 of the SP9 competitors perhaps the most ominous part of the 24 hour race will be the No.3 Verstappen Racing Mercedes, which will be run in tandem with Winward Racing.

The car's line-up remains unchanged with the No.1 on it's bonnet for this year, with Kelvin van der Linde, Augusto Farfus and Raffaele Marciello behind the wheel. The trio will be joined by Jordan Pepper this time, who is fresh to the BMW factory driver pool.
