Three prominent German manufacturers recently celebrated their successful IMSA GTD teams and drivers.

Winward Racing's Russell Ward achieved remarkable success, securing both the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD driver and team titles, along with the Michelin Endurance Cup in the No. 57 Mercedes-AMG GT3. Ward, alongside Philip Ellis and Indy Dontje, claimed victories in three endurance races - the Rolex 24 At Daytona, Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, and Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen - plus an additional sprint win.

Mercedes-AMG recognized Ward's achievements at their Customer Racing Championship ceremony in Stuttgart, naming him the Overall Pro Driver and Pro Driver GT3 awards winner. The manufacturer also secured GTD titles, with points awarded based on race finishes, type, and distance.

Turner Motorsport earned the BMW M Sports Trophy for teams for the second consecutive year. Drivers Robby Foley and Patrick Gallagher finished second in GTD standings with their BMW M4 GT3. The team's success spans multiple championships, including IMSA's Michelin Pilot Challenge and VP Racing SportsCar Challenge.

Porsche honored Wright Motorsports GTD drivers Adam Adelson and Elliott Skeer with third place in the Porsche Cup at their Night of Champions in Atlanta. The rookie pair, along with Jan Heylen, won the Battle on the Bricks and claimed the Fanatec GT World Challenge America Pro championship.

All three teams will compete in the upcoming Rolex 24 At Daytona, marking the start of the 2025 season.
