There has been increased attention on the Nurburgring 24 Hours this weekend due to Max Verstappen’s participation.
Former F1 driver and Nurburgring 24 Hours entrant Timo Glock has praised Max Verstappen for the impact he is having on the event, as the Dutchman is set to participate in the historic race for the first time this weekend. Verstappen’s presence has significantly increased attention around the event this year, with rare entries into non-F1 events due to the expanded race calendar. Glock, a three-time podium finisher, appreciates the spotlight Verstappen is shining on German motorsport. According to Glock, Verstappen’s participation has revitalized interest in German motorsport while questioning the lack of a Formula One race in the country. With the Nordschleife attracting more attention thanks to Verstappen, weekend tickets for the event have sold out for the first time in its history, largely attributed to Verstappen’s star power. In Glock’s eyes, Max’s dedication and role as a figurehead in the sport are truly remarkable.
