Max Verstappen is not enabled for his next race

The Dutch must take a course before going on track and meet his goal of being able to run in the Nordschleife, the long Nürburgring circuit, where this weekend will be presented for a four -hour race.

By far, the part that Max Verstappen most like in his life of being a car pilot is precisely on the track. Everything that surrounds its position as Elite athlete makes it reluctant. Presentations, marketing meetings, press conferences … That combo that is part of your profession is the one that interests you least. But if it’s about accelerating a car, there is. Such is the case that, on the middle of the free weekend, after two consecutive ones about his Red Bull of F1the tetracampeón will not take rest: it will run in the Nordschleife, the long nürburging layout. Actually, he will try to do it, because he must first take a course.

Verstappen declared his enthusiasm several times with the possibility of playing long -term career. In fact, it could even be your main program once you leave the F1, something that for now performs virtually. Meanwhile, he wants to begin to emerge from Endurance competencies with 24 hours of Nürbrugring. But in order to lead to the mythical competition of Green Hell, it must first compete in the shortest race in the Nordschleife, the long variant of the German track of 20,832 kilometers of extension and 107 curves.

The Dutch will be this weekend in Germany for the seventh date of the NLS season, Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, a long-term championship that is disputed exclusively in Nordschleife. In order to be in the competition, Max must first pass this Friday for a mandatory course to receive the license from the green hell. It doesn’t matter if the runner who wants to register to run there is amateur or has four F1 titles. Max’s superícence has no value to be able to accelerate in an NLS race.

After the course and having the qualification, Max will go on track on Saturday with a Porsche Cayman GT4 CS of the Lionspeed GP team. As the Red Bull pilot is rookie in these lides will have permission Btherefore his Porsche (which he will share with Chris Lulham, his partner of Sim Racing) who will have 300 hp and 1,350 kilos of weight, 125 hp less than those who have enabled the runners with permission A. To achieve the main license, Verstappen has to have two career results and could meet the requirement this weekend, because it will be registered in the two cars of the Lionespeed. Thus, it will get off one and go up to the other in the four -hour race. To achieve the objective, it must complete 14 laps and cover, minimum, 20% of the race distance with each car. With two batches of seven turns with each car will be fulfilled.

If Max achieves the goal and gets permission A, The next 27 (weekend after Azerbiayán GP and the one prior to the Singapore GP), you can run with a 296 GT3 Ferrari in the upper category.
