Mercedes-AMG Motorsport says it has reached a milestone 1,000 overall victories in its Customer Racing Programme. The Affalterbach-based performance brand announced the achievement on 13 July 2026. It is a landmark for a programme that supplies race cars to private teams competing around the world.
Mercedes-AMG Motorsport has reached a notable milestone. According to the manufacturer, its Customer Racing Programme has now scored its 1,000th overall victory, a figure the Affalterbach brand highlighted in an announcement dated 13 July 2026.
A landmark for the customer racing effort
Mercedes-AMG’s Customer Racing Programme is the arm of the brand that builds and supports race cars for private, or “customer”, teams rather than a single works squad. Those teams campaign Mercedes-AMG machinery in GT and endurance series across several continents, so overall wins accumulate from many events and championships rather than a single racing calendar.
Reaching four figures in overall victories underlines how broadly the programme’s cars have been raced since it began. The company presents the 1,000th win as a symbolic marker of that long-running competitive record.
What it means
For a manufacturer, a healthy customer racing operation is both a commercial and a marketing pillar: it puts the brand’s cars in the hands of independent teams, keeps them visible on race weekends worldwide, and feeds motorsport credibility back into the road-car range. A milestone like this is the kind of figure a maker uses to signal the scale and staying power of that effort.
Mercedes-AMG did not, in the material provided, detail which race delivered the 1,000th victory or break down the tally by series and season.
