Why Max Vastapanes are 24 hours nurburgring, F1, motor) and can be positive for themselves

Max VerustapaneEfforts on Nurburgring Nordschleife have attracted a lot of attention in recent weeks – and it is good for Formula 1 and a whole for motor), as well as good for Dutchman itself.

Now that he has the required DMSB permitVastapane can compete with a Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie race in a full-house GT3 car. And, even more importantly, he can also do the same in 24 -hour Nerburgering, a race in which 27 -year -old has expressed interest.

Although some people may argue that they should be focused on F1, the performance of Vastapane has not been damaged at all in 2025. In fact, Michael Schumacher Outside the F1 was one of several drivers to indicate the potential benefits of racing, made a more goal driver before he got his big break with his group C sportscar outing.

Experimenting various cars and circuits can only be a good thing when it comes to adding the list of driver’s performances or skills. This gives them more in the mental library, of which they can attract when needed.

There is also a decline among some fans that the current drivers are not versatile and optimized as their predecessors – that they will somehow struggle in other cars.

It is true that some current F1 drivers try other categories – their schedules are often very full for it – but this does not mean that if they try, they will not be good at them. Fernando Alonso Performed with its competitor 2017 Indianapolis 500 shows, as well as the title of his two Mans win and world endurance with Toyota.

Anyone who has seen the current stars battling with the old machinery, without any downforce, H-Paturn Gearbox and Crossley Tires such as Goodwood Revival will also know that the top driver is the top driver who is also below them.

Nurburgring lap record speed of verstappen In your Emil Frey Racing Ferrari The 296 GT3 test, the exact specification of the car at that time shows something similar. And, let’s be honest, it’s great.

On the one hand, it should not be a surprise. The F1 is the peak of the game and the four -time world champion Verustapane is already one of the great ones. But on the other hand, it is worth remembering how the Motorsport has changed since the F1 drivers regularly competed elsewhere in the 1950s and 1960s.

Many drivers of the day appeared in different subjects. In other words, if Jim Clarke was faster than Roy Salvadori in a Grand Prix car, it is not really a shock that it would faster in a touring car, GT or sportscar.

But now various championships have many experts at high levels. Some of those drivers themselves became very close to going to F1, they should do, or to be made in F1 before going elsewhere. People like Indycar Champion Scott Dixon, Le Man’s Legend Tom Crustonson or Sportscar Ace Sebastian Bumi feel. Stir and beating them in their own games, the kind of cars they know from inside is not, even for the elite class of F1.

GT3, which is now two decades old, is probably more professional driver in the world than any other category. With the balance of performance in the principle, matching cars equally (four different marks have lived 24 hours in the last five versions), manufacturers have employed the best professionals that they can. The margin is usually measured in a hundredth or thousandth of a second.

There is no complete pile of time in cars for someone – Vastapane involves – to find suddenly. Along with F1, it is all about being small benefits and consistent together.

Perhaps an area in which Vastapane will need to be careful, he is dealing with traffic, which will be almost stable. In 24 hours, some drivers are lower experience than amateurs or 225 times than Grand Prix starter. If he tries an unconventional step, Vastapane can find himself in trouble; He can’t trust everyone Lewis Hamilton This year he could do in Hungering such as awareness to avoid shunt.

But Vastapane is quite smart to know this. Their wheel-to-wheel’s antics have always been about the lack of ability to stick to it instead of lack of ability to play with a line of acceptance. He will definitely dial it back to an event that is for pleasure rather than the world title.

Vestapen in GT racing is also good for other branches of the dubbling game. F1 has become so large to be dwarfed in other parts of Motorsport. New fans, probably come through F1 Drive to surviveMaybe GT3 or (destroy the idea!) You may not have heard about NordesChleff. But now they will do it.

Interest in Indycar Racing grew when world champion Nigel Mansel entered the pond for 1993. Autosport’s online traffic showed how much interest was at the beginning of Alonso’s Le Mans in 2018, even though there was no meaningful opposition to Toyota.

The verstappen racing in GT3 can widen the horizon of some F1 fans, once again demonstrates the quality of the top gray pre -drivers and enhances the world champion Cv, even if it is only for fun. This is a win-win, with a warning.

Thanks to the nature of the largest circuit in the world and the large speed inequalities between many classes there, Nerburgering is one of the 24 -hour modern motorsport efforts. Nobody wants to repeat the type of accident Robert Kubika Victim at 2011 Ronde de Andora rally.

Such incidents, and 1985 deaths of F1 stars Stephen Beloff and Manfred Vinkelhoc in sportscar accidents, sometimes caused the owners of the F1 team being enthusiastic about their drivers due to indulging in the extra-corricular motorcycle.

But the game is safe than once and doing everything to keep the Red Bull Vastapane happy, so it is not surprising that it has not stopped these GT3 outings. The risk of Vastapane to leave the team is probably higher than being injured.

So, to do something different to leave for the hat’s Vestapane. Next year’s Nurburgring does not confront 24 hours with an F1 round, so let’s hope that he takes a dip. And, if it goes well, Perhaps Dutchman should consider the challenge of Triple Crown That Alonso has not been very managed yet …
