Verstappen wins on NLS GT3 debut

Max Verstappen took an emphatic victory on his GT3 debut at the Nordschleife in the Nurburgring Endurance Series.

Driving a Ferrari 296 entered by Emil Frey Racing alongside team-mate Chris Lulham, Verstappen jumped from third to first at the start and proceeded to create a gap of approximately one minute at the front of the field over the first two hours of the race, with metronomic consistency.

The four-time Formula 1 world champion then handed the car over to Lulham, with the 22-year-old Briton managing his advantage to cross the finish line 24.5 seconds ahead of the Ford Mustang GT3 shared by Dennis Fetzer, Jann Mardenborough and Fabio Scherer.
