For the first time, the team will run Mercedes’ in two classes for a band of familiar faces. Enrico Förderer and Joel Mesch will share the #11 car in the PRO class, while a PRO-AM #111 entry will be piloted by Cedric Fuchs and Willi Kühne.
Enrico Förderer kicked off his 2025 season in the GT4 Winter Series, and achieved vice-champion status along with Jay Mo Härtling. Then, the pairing moved into ADAC GT4 Germany, and scored four victories in the first four races, ultimately winning the championship for SR Motorsport with a race to spare.
Joel Mesch previously competed in the 2024 GT4 Winter Series, and also achieved the vice-champion accolade. More recently, Mesch competed in the 2025 ADAC GT4 Germany season in an SR Motorsport Mercedes. Förderer and Joel Mesch are good friends off-track, and will make a very strong tandem during the 2026 winter campaign.
Cedric Fuchs made his first appearances in GT racing during the 2025 GT4 Winter Series, and managed to win the Cayman Trophy standings along with Willi Kühne. Fuchs then got his first taste of Mercedes machinery in GT4 Germany, sharing a car with Mesch. Fuchs and Kühne will now reunite, with the aim of repeating their previous Winter Series success, this time within the PRO-AM class.
The 2026 GT4 Winter Series will once again bring together the strongest teams from across the European GT4 scene. The championship will begin at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, from 15-18 January.
