Four-time Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen is set to compete in the gruelling Nürburgring 24 Hours. Verstappen stated his ambition to expand his motorsport career beyond Formula 1, emphasizing that his current achievements in F1 have motivated him to seek new challenges. He finds this a perfect time in his career to explore different racing disciplines.
Inspired by his father's participation in endurance racing, Verstappen views motorsport as a multifaceted pursuit. He feels ready to undertake significant endurance events now, rather than waiting until he is older. His preparation for the Nürburgring, known as 'The Green Hell', has been extensive over the past year.
Verstappen has already experienced success in GT3 racing, having won an NLS 9 race at the Nürburgring in September. His team also crossed the finish line first in another Nürburgring race earlier this year, although a technical infringement later led to disqualification. This upcoming 24-hour race represents his greatest challenge yet in this category.
