Max Verstappen is only a few hours away from his GT3 race debut at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Ahead of Saturday’s four-hour event, new practice footage of the Red Bull star driving the Ferrari 296 GT3 has gone viral, generating hype among fans for his latest challenge.
The Dutchman will race in the No. 33 Ferrari for Emil Frey Racing, partnering with 22-year-old Brit Chris Lulham. The pair will drive the Verstappen.com Racing and Red Bull-sponsored car in the ninth round of the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie.
At 20.832 km long and packed with 73 turns, the Nordschleife is known for punishing even seasoned endurance drivers. While Max Verstappen has logged countless virtual miles with his Redline sim racing team, this weekend marks the real challenge.
For the reigning F1 champion, it is another chance to prove his passion for racing goes well beyond the Grand Prix grid. Fans will be eagerly watching as Verstappen takes on one of the most demanding circuits in the world in his GT3 debut.
