KCMG Returns to Nürburgring with Ambitious 2026 Campaign
Team KCMG is set to participate in the legendary Nürburgring 24 Hours as part of an extensive Nürburgring Langstrecken Serie (NLS) campaign, commencing with NLS2 on March 21. The Hong Kong-based team will field a Mercedes-AMG GT3, featuring renowned drivers David Pittard, Jesse Krohn, and KCMG regular Edoardo Liberati.
KCMG’s history at the Nürburgring includes five entries in the 24-hour race since their inaugural appearance in 2019. Liberati has been a consistent presence, driving in four of those events. Pittard and Krohn, both Nürburgring specialists, are seasoned contenders, with Pittard clinching victory in 2023 driving for Frikadelli Racing, and Krohn looking to defend his title from last year with ROWE Racing.
The season’s competitiveness promises to be high, with both the NLS and the Nürburgring 24 expected to attract top teams and talent. KCMG will additionally participate in the ADAC 24h Qualifiers in preparation for the 24-hour race.
