Overview

  • Helmut Marko confirmed Verstappen plans to race in NLS rounds 7 and 8 at the Nordschleife this weekend, with each race scheduled for four hours.
  • To obtain the DMSB Permit Nordschleife, he is set to attend a DMSB Academy course on Friday and take an exam to secure a B Permit.
  • Autosport reports he could start in a Lionspeed-run Porsche Cayman GT4 CS and, subject to results or an individual case assessment, move into an Emil Frey Ferrari 296 GT3.
  • DMSB rules require two classified race results totaling at least 14 laps for an A Permit, although recognition of a double start for FIA Platinum drivers is possible.
  • His cars will carry Red Bull branding funded by Red Bull GmbH, he will race under his real name rather than the earlier 'Franz Hermann' alias, and live coverage is available on motorsport.tv.
