In the colours of the recently established partnership between the racing team from Oman and the team around Adam Osieka, Maro Engel, Fabian Schiller and Loca Stolz will be competing in a Mercedes-AMG GT3 with start number #777.

“The driver trio is a dream combination that I have have dreamed of for a long time in this form,” says Osieka. “Maro, Fabian and Luca are not only an incredibly fast crew for our spearhead, but also a very harmonious trio. I am convinced that we will be able to fight for victories with the #777.”

“I’m happy that the GT World Challenge will be starting again soon,” says Engel. “For me, the focus this year is on the stability of competing again with GetSpeed and Mercedes-AMG. With Luca, too, I have already contested countless races and we will be reinforced by Fabian. That creates a top line-up with a super team behind us, so we can have a say in the championship.”

Schiller, who has celebrated success in various racing series with GetSpeed for years, is also looking forward to the new challenge: “I am very glad to contest a complete season with a pro car in the GT World Challenge again,” says the 25-year-old. “I’m looking forward to being part of a team with Maro and Luca and I am convinced that we will cause a stir.
