The 26-year-old from Lichfield becomes the only British member of AMG’s ten-strong AMG Driver line-up for the VLN and Nürburgring 24 Hours, where he will race the new Mercedes-AMG GT3 for AMG-Team Black Falcon.

On his most recent outing with AMG in the Dubai 24 Hours, Christodoulou led the charge from 98^th on the grid to finish second, overtaking 22 cars on the opening lap of the race in the process, and is now looking forward to taking on the famed Nordschleife in the Affalterbach brand’s latest offering, the Mercedes-AMG GT3.

The announcement comes after a highly successful 2015 season that saw Christodoulou qualify second for the Nürburgring 24 Hours and take two VLN victories, including the season highlight 6 Stunden ADAC Ruhr-Pokal-Rennen and the DMV 250-Meilen-Rennen, each with Black Falcon.
