Original story: Verstappen Wins NLS2 by a Minute on Mercedes-AMG Debut
Thanks resetbypeer for the update
Aged unfortunately like milk https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/48269340/max-verstappen-wins-gt3-race-nurburgring
Damn, didn’t Team Redline get DQed from a virtual Nurburgring event for a ride height exploit? Sim skills really do translate to real life 😭
ETA: Back in June '25
Yeah tough to hear. Wonder how much of that minute lead can be explained by an extra set of fresh tires.
Either way, it was a fun race to watch. I just started watching NLS and some IMSA racing towards the end of last season, and I think I prefer it over F1 now. The racing is legit, and having multiple classes on track at the same time always keeps it interesting. I think Max will really add some spice to it whenever we get to see him do a recovery drive like we’ve seen him do in F1

None of it. The extra set was used during qualifying. All teams used 3 sets during the race (three pitstops)
So would it be the race engineers fault for miscounting?
I’ve been dipping my toes in Formula E and IndyCar this year and yeah the racing is much better than the past few years of F1. The '26 regs are off to a decent start and I hope the good racing continues.
Oh noooooooo
Why is this in the F1 community?

Max Verstappen is an F1 driver, in case you didn’t know.
Yeah but this race isn’t F1.
It’s an off week so who cares that it isn’t an F1 race.
Yeah but this race isn’t F1.
Very accurate observation. And Max Verstappen is an F1 driver, so it’s related news.
By that logic every time he takes a shit it’s F1 news, because he’s an F1 driver.
I don’t think you actually believe that, you’re just being malicious.By that logic every time he takes a shit it’s F1 news, because he’s an F1 driver.
If F1 media report on it, like this example: https://www.gpfans.com/en/f1-news/40064/schumacher-s-toilet-mind-games-revealed-by-rosberg/
I don’t think you actually believe that, you’re just being malicious.
.ml user being toxic and out of touch with reality. How surprising.
Not only do I believe that it’s related to F1, so do mainstream F1 media. Example: https://www.planetf1.com/news/breaking-max-verstappen-disqualified-as-nurburgring-win-lost-to-rule-breach
There is broad consensus that Verstappen racing in NLS/N24 is 100% F1-related. If you don’t agree: Just move on. Nobody forced you to engage with this post.
Also, this here isn’t [email protected]. The occasional “not F1 but still motorsports” post especially during F1’s off times have been allowed by the mods several already. Expect the same in April, especially if Verstappen happens to race again in NLS3. Maybe we’ll even post about IMSA Grand Prix of Long Beach because it happens when the Jeddah GP was meant to happen before cancellation.
You new to F1? Everytime he takes a shit is F1 news. There is literally nothing interesting going on.
Pit stop coverage is where DC, Jacques Villeneuve and Danica would be expected to give their typical steaming hot takes. A live cross to the marshals to wipe up any debris left behind. And if there’s still standing water, wets might be required.
Because there is a lot of drama tied to this.
There’s a lot of drama tied to the Iran war, maybe we should be posting that too.
