I've taken the plunge and bought a lightly used Mercedes AMG GTR PRO to join my Porsche 991.1 GT3RS. The cars are intended predominately for track days of which there will be many in 2021 (covid permitting). Joe Macari were great to deal with and I even bumped into Indy racing legend Dario Franchitti, who happened to be at the dealership on the day I viewed the car.
What are the differences between the PRO and a standards AMG GTR? Well, as standard, trick adjustable suspension, cage, ceramic brakes and a load of carbon aero addenda. I'll go into more detail on another post.
This will be my first Mercedes so I'm looking forward to a new experience. Let's see how it all works out...

That's a beauty, it's made me feel old though Dario Franchitti used to do the brake pad reviews in Max Power when he was starting his career all those years ago!
He's had one hell of a career since then!
I had never met him before, though I've always heard good things. He was extremely friendly and showed interest in the Mercedes, which he didn't have to. He even posed for a photo in front of the car with me without a second thought. Motorsport royalty and top man! He's had one hell of a career since then!
If you're interested to know more about the AMG GTR PRO then this short video shows EVO magazine's Henry Catchpole explaining the key differences with the standard car before taking it out on track in Germany...
