If that was me on the grass in ACC I would be limping back to the pits… He looks so chill!
Valentino Rossi got a bit of flack for stealing a lot of the attention during his GT3 races, especially in the beginning, when he was still learning. Its better now that he has proven himself as an actuall good driver on 4 wheels. In the long run it was also worth it as a lot of people who would not have watched GT3 are now watching.
Same thing with Max where he is getting a lot of attention. However, he is already great! And the more people watch GT3 the better!
I think the race live stream had over 110k concurrent viewers at on stage. Glad that more attention is being brought to GT3 and endurance racing. The production is top tier, with knowledgeable commentators. And it’s all available for free.
Following the weather-enforced break, the Eifel is buzzing with excitement ahead of the 58th ADAC Barbarossa Prize and the ‘real’ start of the NLS season! All eyes are on the eagerly awaited debut of Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen, who is making his first appearance in a Mercedes-AMG GT3 in the Green Hell. Carrying start number 3, the champion is taking on the assembled endurance elite and aims to prove that he can compete at the very front even on the toughest circuit in the world.
But he isn’t the only highlight on the grid, as a viral fan project is finally becoming a reality: the BMW M3 Touring 24H is rolling to the start! What began as an April Fool’s joke in 2025 has been transformed by Schubert Motorsport into a thoroughbred GT3 racing machine, whose design consists entirely of genuine fan comments. This spectacular duo faces top-class competition from Rowe Racing, Abt Lamborghini and the lightning-fast Falken Porsche. Experience four hours of non-stop action as exotic cars meet world-class drivers and motorsport history is made.
The 4-hour endurance race starts at 13:00 SAST, with the English commentary livestream starting 45 minutes before that at 12:15.
Also keep an eye out for the 4 South Africans in the field:
Yea I was going to say at least he did well - watching him race was almost fun (Im sorry but this was almost more boring than F1, at least the sebring race was fun with and filled with chaos during12 hours) But so much to learn about the rules and regs and honestly there is just as muchhybrid kak racing than not there.
Watched most of it today. Also the race in Sebring
P1 for Jordan Pepper.
