GT3 Racing

The 2022 Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS championship saw two DXDT Racing Mercedes AMG GT3 cars in full-season competition, marking the team’s sixth year racing Mercedes machinery. The team closed out the 2022 season with four podiums and 11 top-five positions.

This GT3 series competes across the continent on some of the best tracks North America has to offer. Each event weekend consists of two races, welcoming a wide range of homologated manufacturers, producing exciting competition. The two-driver, 90-minute SprintX format, complete with full-service pit stops makes racing a true team effort.

DXDT Racing will make announcements regarding 2023 plans at a future date.
