Max Verstappen is taking part in a race in the Nürburgring Langstrecken Serie (NLS) on the Nordschleife. He will complete a mandatory driver training course on Friday (September 12) and will compete in a Porsche Cayman GT4 CS on Saturday (September 13). He also plans to race again on the Nürburgring Nordschleife on September 27. He intends to compete in his Ferrari 296 GT3. However, he will not be able to race under his pseudonym “Franz Hermann” as he only has a license in his real name.

    Please note he’s driving a power limited car, so he won’t really be in any competition. The goal is to just do the laps and get the requirements to get a license. He needs the license to drive a fully capable car, so he can do the Nürburg 24h next year.

      As this is multiclass racing, the competition is his class.

          But his car was ~130 HP restricted within the class

          “the #980 Porsche finished as the highest-placed ‘Permit B Cup3’ entry” <-- That’s the class the car competed at, not overall GT4 (which isn’t a class).

            Ah, I just knew it was a nerfd CUP3, didn’t realize CUP3 Entry was a class but it’s really obvious now that I see it
