The All-Inkl.com Munnich Motorsport team has confirmed that they will carry the Mercedes brand into battle in the 2012 championship with two SLS AMG GT3s sporting the German team's livery.
"The two years of construction and the great success of the format for our team speak their own language. We will continue to be there and are convinced that the GT1 World Championship is also with the new regulations in 2012 a success story for everyone involved," says team founder Rene Munnich.
"We come back with two vehicles. However, we will switch to a premium manufacturer and this year with two Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 cars."
The Saxony outfit ran Lamborghini Murcielagos with quite a deal of success and were in the title mix throughout the 2011 season.
"The Lamborghini is a spectacular super car, but was also sometimes a little unpredictable," added Munnich.
"We expect our new racing cars, which are a mature product, another great success."
Marc Basseng, who partnered Markus Winkelhock in one of the All-Inkl Lamborghinis in 2011, said he was looking forward to the new challenge at the wheel of the Mercedes and as team manager.
Munnich added that the complete driver line-up for 2012 will be announced shortly.
Besides the All-Inkl.com Munnich Motorsport announcement, fellow-German Michael Bartels also confirmed late last week that his Vita4One team will run a pair of BMW Z4s in 2012.
They join Hexis who will field a pair of McLaren MP4-12Cs and the new Audi R8 LMS ultra, in the hands of Team WRT, as the latest teams to go public.
