Verstappen’s interest in GT racing has been evident, with his team, Verstappen.com Racing, fielding an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. The Dutchman’s recent test drive in a Ferrari 488 GT3 at the Nurburgring Nordschleife showcased his skill and determination, clocking impressive lap times and hinting at his potential in the world of sports car racing.

While Verstappen’s FIA Platinum ranking is a significant milestone, it is just the beginning of his journey towards competing in prestigious events such as the Nurburgring 24 and the 24 Hours of Spa. The path to these competitions involves not only securing the necessary permits but also gaining experience on challenging tracks like the Nordschleife through series like the VLN.

As Verstappen sets his sights on expanding his racing horizons, the motorsport world eagerly anticipates his future endeavors outside of Formula 1. With his unparalleled talent and unwavering determination, Verstappen’s foray into GT and sports car racing is sure to captivate fans and competitors alike, marking a new chapter in his already illustrious career.
