Max Verstappen prepares for his endurance racing debut this weekend.
The current Formula 1 world champion, Max Verstappen, is preparing for his debut at the Nordschleife circuit, known as the “Green Hell”, in an endurance race this weekend.
Verstappen, who has expressed his interest in competing in other categories outside of F1, already had a test on the 13-mile circuit earlier this year, using the alias “Franz Hermann” as part of his preparation.
Your participation in the endurance race has been confirmed.
The driver achieved a surprising victory at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, marking his third win of the season.
To be able to compete this weekend, Verstappen will have to pass an exam on Friday to obtain the necessary documentation.
If I pass the test, I could race in a Porsche Cayman GT4 CS on Saturday.
His goal is to move towards a Ferrari 296 GT3 from the Swiss team Emil Frey Racing by the end of the weekend, which could be possible if he receives special authorization.
Verstappen’s motivation in F1 has been a topic of conversation in recent years.
At a time when our Formula 1 car wasn’t working properly, he was there with great enthusiasm. It was a major distraction for his well-being.

The Nordschleife circuit is recognized as one of the most dangerous in the world, and was the venue for the German Grand Prix in the past. The famous accident of Niki Lauda occurred here in 1976.
