The team and car are prepared, we will give it our all to bring home the win. Fuji 24, here we come!

Not how the team pictured starting the Fuji 24hr night practice today, after contact in turn 2 took off the left rear corner of our AMG GT3.

The team didn't give up as was required to complete a minimum one lap in the night session.
