Spotlight on Max Verstappen

A major talking point was the appearance of Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen, who made a guest start with Lionspeed GP in the Cup 3 class (Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CS).

• Verstappen, sharing the car with Christopher Lulham, completed 24 laps, finishing 27th overall.
• Their race pace was solid, averaging 145.4 km/h, with a fastest lap just over 9 minutes.
• Unfortunately, Verstappen’s second entry in another Lionspeed GP Cayman (car #89) did not complete the race and was recorded as not classified (DNC).

While not challenging the front-running GT3 machinery, Verstappen’s presence brought enormous attention to the event, underlining his growing interest in long-distance GT racing at the Nürburgring.
