Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing Championship

Since 2014, participants have been collecting points by means of their race participations with the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Mercedes-AMG GT2 or Mercedes-AMG GT4 throughout the season and they are honoured at the end of the season. Amateur drivers separated from the professionals: this makes the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Customer Racing Championship particularly interesting for ambitious privateer drivers. Moreover, there are separate categories for the best GT3 and GT2/GT4 teams. To ensure a maximum chance equality, points are attributed with weighing factors, taking into account, among others, the type and distance of the races.

Over 400 drivers and around 100 teams are participating in the 2025/2026 competition period of the Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing Championship.

CHAMPIONSHIP 2025/2026

Classification

For the classification of the 2025/2026 Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing Championship, all drivers and teams participating in national and international race events with Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing cars are eligible. The competition period started on 21 October 2025 and ends on 19 October 2026.

The Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing Championship is divided into ten categories: PRO-DRIVER, DRIVER, PRO-DRIVER GT3, DRIVER GT3, PRO-DRIVER GT2, DRIVER GT2, PRO-DRIVER GT4, DRIVER GT4, TEAM GT3 and TEAM GT2/GT4.

Points' allocation

There are separate classifications for GT3, GT2 and GT4 cars, so their points are being allocated in different classes (individual ranking).

Moreover, there is a general ranking for each of the classes in which the points scored are integrated as well. Here, the points for GT3, GT2 and GT4 cars are also scored separately.

In every point-scoring race, points are attributed for 1st to 10th place according to the familiar scheme 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1, multiplied by a pre-determined factor depending on the competition and race format.
