DESCRIPTION: GetSpeed Team JR286 made history at the inaugural Michelin 12H Nürburgring 2026, taking the first overall victory in the event with the No. 286 Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO. Patrick Liddy, Tanner Harvey, Jonathan Hirshberg and Steve Jans began from GT3-AM pole and built their race around consistent pace, clean execution and the ability to stay clear of the problems affecting many leading contenders. The Mercedes-AMG reached the overnight intervention break in sixth place, still within range of the front after the opening segment. When racing resumed, the JR286 crew converted that position into control of the event. A fastest lap of 1:55.770 supported a disciplined run through traffic and strategy cycles, while the team completed 301 laps and opened a full-lap advantage by the finish. The result delivered victory overall, in GT3 and in GT3-AM, and marked GetSpeed’s first outright win in the Michelin 24H SERIES European Series. The gallery records the defining moments of that achievement: the Mercedes-AMG under pressure, the calm precision of an endurance campaign and the celebration of a win that set the benchmark for the race’s first edition.
