- Team KRT claimed the programme's 1000th overall victory at Mugello in a Mercedes-AMG GT3.
- Vincent Iogna took pole position, set fastest lap and won the race by about 48.6 seconds.
- Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing supports more than 100 teams and 400 drivers in each racing season.
Mercedes-AMG's Customer Racing programme has reached four figures, with its 1,000th overall victory arriving at Mugello in Italy.
The landmark win came in the Ultimate GT Sprint Cup, where Vincent Iogna drove Team KRT's Mercedes-AMG GT3 to victory. It was a properly emphatic result: Iogna started from pole position, set the fastest lap and crossed the line about 48.6 seconds ahead.
Mercedes-AMG began its Customer Racing programme in 2010. It now supports more than 100 teams and over 400 drivers through a season, putting GT3 machinery in competition across a busy international calendar.
The latest number also shows how quickly the tally has accelerated. Mercedes-AMG celebrated win number 500 in May 2021, while 2024 alone delivered 120 overall victories — its strongest calendar year to date.
A familiar name at Bathurst
The Mercedes-AMG GT3 has become a regular feature of major endurance races, including the Bathurst 12 Hour. Mercedes-AMG lists victories in the Australian endurance classic in 2013, 2022, 2023 and 2026, alongside successes at international GT events.
The programme has now recorded overall wins across 34 countries and 135 circuits. That spread matters in customer racing, where the same basic GT3 package must work for professional squads, privateers, sprint weekends and long-distance classics.
It is also a different kind of racing success from a factory campaign. The customer teams run their own programmes, choose their own series and build their own identities around the cars. The landmark therefore belongs as much to the people keeping those cars on track every weekend as it does to Affalterbach.
The 1000-win mark is a neat reminder of the scale behind the customer teams sharing those grids. The cars may wear different team colours, but each result adds to a programme that has become one of GT racing's most prolific.
