“Exciting news! I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining Team Motopark for the International GT Open campaign this year,” said Kruetten. “Returning to Motopark feels special - after racing together in Euroformula Open in 2020, it’s great to be back where it all started. Since then, I’ve had an incredible journey in LMP and GT3 racing, competing across Europe, the US, and Japan. Now, a new chapter begins as I make the switch to Mercedes-AMG machinery. I couldn’t be more excited for this opportunity! With Motopark, I know I’m in the right place, and I have full confidence in the team - just like in our Formula 3 days. I’ll be sharing the car with Robert Vișoiu, and I can’t wait to fight for podiums together!” |
