Max Verstappen to Start NLS at Nürburgring in Restricted GT4 as He Chases Nordschleife Permit

DMSB rules restrict newcomers to lower‑power cars until they meet Permit A requirements.

Overview

  • Verstappen is slated to race on Saturday, September 14, at the NLS 65th ADAC ACAS‑Cup as part of a double‑header weekend on the Nordschleife.
  • He will drive a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CS with Lionspeed GP in Permit‑B specification, which rules out realistic bids for class wins or lap records.
  • The planned entry is being kept low‑profile, with his name absent from the provisional starter list as his camp seeks to minimize event disruption.
  • His preparation includes a mandatory DMSB Academy course and exam on Friday, September 12, followed by meeting race requirements for Permit A such as 14 laps and at least 20% of his car’s distance.
  • Current plans point to a Saturday‑only appearance, with reports listing likely Cup3 machinery and teammates Chris Lulham, Matisse Lismont and Kyle Tilley.
