German outfit Team Motopark has firmly set its ambitions on retaining its dominance as it approaches the 2026 International GT Open season. After securing both the Drivers’ and Teams’ titles last year, the Oschersleben-based squad now looks to build on that success with a refreshed and competitive driver line-up. Led by Timo Rumpfkeil, the team plans to field three Mercedes-AMG GT3 entries for the full campaign, while also keeping the option open for additional appearances at selected rounds.
A strong foundation for another championship push
Following a landmark 2025 season, Team Motopark enters the new campaign with confidence and clarity. The organisation has carefully structured its programme to maintain consistency while introducing new talent capable of sustaining its winning momentum. By committing to a three-car full-season effort, the team ensures a strong presence across the grid, which will be crucial in defending both championships.
Moreover, the flexibility to add extra entries at key events highlights the squad’s strategic approach. This adaptability could prove decisive in a tightly contested championship, where every point matters.
Team Motopark reveals first driver pairing for 2026 International GT Open
As anticipation builds, Team Motopark has unveiled the first part of its 2026 driver roster. Marcelo Ramírez and Dominic Baumann will take the wheel of the #28 Mercedes-AMG GT3 in the Pro class. This pairing blends emerging talent with proven experience, creating a formidable combination.
Ramírez, a 28-year-old Mexican driver, steps up with valuable experience gained from competing with other Mercedes customer teams in the series. His progression marks an important step in his career, and he now has the opportunity to prove himself at the highest level within the GT Open.
Alongside him, 33-year-old Austrian driver Dominic Baumann brings a wealth of expertise and a winning pedigree. As the reigning Pro-Am co-champion, Baumann adds both consistency and championship-winning knowledge to the line-up. His familiarity with Mercedes machinery further strengthens the team’s prospects.
Building momentum for the season ahead
With its first driver pairing confirmed, Team Motopark has laid a solid foundation for the upcoming season. The combination of Ramírez’s ambition and Baumann’s experience positions the team as a serious contender once again.
Looking ahead, the announcement of the remaining drivers will complete a line-up designed to defend both titles successfully. As preparations continue, Team Motopark remains focused on maintaining its competitive edge and delivering another standout performance in the International GT Open.
