Mercedes-AMG's Wendl Explains Macau Absence
Mercedes-AMG customer racing boss Stefan Wendl explains the team's absence from the FIA GT World Cup.
The addition of mandatory torque sensors for this year's FIA GT World Cup prevented Mercedes-AMG and its customer teams from having a "sufficient level" of preparation for the race, according to Wendl.
The German manufacturer, which is a five-time and reigning FIA GT World Cup champion with driver Maro Engel last year, will not be on the grid for November's event on the Guia circuit for the first time since the launch of the GT World Cup in 2015 due to the change in the event's technical regulations.
Torque sensors, which are used in the FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, have become mandatory for the event, as announced in March.
