Max Verstappen, the reigning four-time Formula 1 champion, has sent shockwaves through the motorsport world with his electrifying announcement: he will be competing in this year’s iconic 24 Hours of Nürburgring! Scheduled between May 14 and 17, Verstappen is set to make his debut in this grueling endurance race, showcasing his formidable skills behind the wheel of a Mercedes-AMG GT3.

Joining the ranks of the elite, Verstappen will race for the Winward team, proudly flying the banner of Verstappen Racing. This powerhouse lineup will see him sharing the track with three seasoned endurance racing titans—Lucas Auer, Jules Gounon, and Daniel Juncadella—each bringing a wealth of experience on the notoriously challenging Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit. Notably, Gounon and Juncadella are currently racing together in the GT World Challenge Europe under the Winward banner, adding to the team's formidable pedigree.

In a strategic move to fine-tune their performance, this dynamic quartet will participate in a competitive test at the NLS2 round on March 21. This adjustment was made at Mercedes' request to ensure Verstappen’s availability, cleverly sidestepping a potential scheduling clash with the Japanese Grand Prix.

In addition to the highly anticipated Verstappen Racing entry, Mercedes will field another powerhouse team at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. The Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL will bring together an exceptional quartet: Maro Engel, Maxime Martin, Fabian Schiller, and Luca Stolz, poised to battle for victory.

Max Verstappen expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “The Nürburgring is a special place. There is no other circuit like it. The 24 Hours of Nürburgring has long been on my list of goals, so I am very excited to finally make this participation happen. Last year, I obtained my DMSB license for the Nordschleife and competed in the NLS9, which we ended up winning. That preparation was invaluable because we learned a lot and can apply that knowledge to this year's program with NLS2 and the 24-hour race. We have a very strong team with Dani, Jules, and Lucas, as well as great support from Red Bull and Mercedes-AMG Motorsport. Now the focus is on preparing everything in the best way to make the most of the races.”

As the countdown to this thrilling event begins, motorsport fans around the globe are poised on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating the high-octane drama and excitement that only the 24 Hours of Nürburgring can deliver. Will Verstappen and his team conquer the legendary track and etch their names in racing history? Only time will tell!
