Max Verstappen attempted to drive under an alias at the Nurburgring earlier this week, something that has prompted Alex Brundle to highlight further barriers to entry for the Dutchman if he does win to race GT3 cars.
Max Verstappen was seen at the Nurburgring on Friday, testing a Ferrari 296 GT3 under the alias ‘Franz Hermann’. This public GT3 outing is a new venture for the Dutchman, who is reportedly aiming to secure a Nordschleife license this year. The license is required for him to compete in official Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie events and the 24-hour race at the iconic German track. However, there are still challenges ahead, as pointed out by Alex Brundle, who highlighted the specific criteria Verstappen needs to meet to qualify for these races. Brundle emphasized the rigorous regulations set by the organizers, sharing insights from his father’s past experiences and suggesting that seeing Verstappen in a club-spec BMW or Porsche could be a possibility worth looking forward to in the future. Alex Brundle’s detailed explanation on the situation can be found in his post on social media platform X.
