Max Verstappen is set to take part in a Nordschleife race very soon – but there are critical tests he must pass at the famous track before he is allowed to race.
Max Verstappen, the reigning four-time F1 world champion, aspires to compete at the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife by following certain essential steps.
He aims to race with his own team, Verstappen.com Racing, utilizing vehicles like the Ferrari 296 GT3 managed by Emil Frey Racing.
To reach this goal, he must demonstrate his racing skills to the German motorsport association DMSB and pass a theoretical exam to obtain a Grade B Permit.
This permit allows him to partake in races with cars categorized as ‘B-licence.’
One of the cars under consideration is the Porsche Cayman GT4 from Lionspeed GP, known for its power-to-weight ratio exceeding 4.2 kg/bhp.
Verstappen must complete a minimum of 14 laps over two races, covering more than 20% of the total race time, showcasing his traffic management abilities.
In some cases, if proven exceptional, a driver may earn a Grade A Permit after a single race, or by participating in a race for two different teams to meet the lap requirements and ultimately drive GT3 cars at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
