Overview

  • Helmut Marko confirmed Verstappen plans to race in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie during the four-hour rounds scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
  • The Red Bull driver must obtain a DMSB Permit Nordschleife by attending the academy session and passing the licensing exam on Friday.
  • He is expected to start in a Lionspeed-run Porsche Cayman GT4 CS to log the results needed for an entry-level B permit.
  • Full GT3 eligibility requires at least two classified results totaling 14 race laps, though an individual case assessment could accelerate an A permit if he completes a double start on Saturday.
  • The goal is to step into an Emil Frey Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 as soon as regulations allow, with Red Bull branding supported by Red Bull GmbH, and he will compete under his real name rather than an alias.
