Whether Max Verstappen has earned his Nurburgring licence remains unclear.
It is uncertain whether Max Verstappen has met the requirements for competing in the Nurburgring 24 Hours, following issues encountered during the NLS race he participated in. Verstappen, a four-time F1 champion, has been considered a rookie while driving a Porsche Cayman at the Nurburgring Nordschleife, where he lacks experience. To obtain the necessary licence, a driver needs to have completed 14 laps in two registered cars. Verstappen fulfilled this in the Lionspeed GT4 vehicle, but a problem with the sister #89 car prevented him from meeting the two-car rule. Despite this setback, Verstappen is working towards securing the licence for future Nurburgring 24 Hours races, planning to gain more track experience in September after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
