Verstappen survives Nurburgring scare to cap off flawless display
Max Verstappen showed his world championship class at the Nurburgring with a stunning performance in the NLS. His debut in the Nurburgring Endurance Series saw him drive the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport for Lionspeed GP. Despite finishing seventh in the ADAC ACAS Cup’s CUP3 class, he topped the category for drivers with Permit B vehicles. Verstappen competed in a special class for drivers without their full GT3 license, where his Porsche was tuned to 300hp instead of the usual 425hp. He faced challenges like having to take evasive action at the start and dealing with minor brake issues during the race. However, after completing 14 incident-free laps, he handed over the car to his teammate Chris Lulham and secured a top finish in the CUP3 category and first among drivers in reduced-power Porsches. Verstappen’s mission was completed as he validated his Permit A status by driving two cars, including a decisive move just in time before the overall win was secured by another team.
