Max Verstappen is set to make his long-awaited debut in GT World Challenge Europe [GTWCE] this weekend. With two of the regular drivers for his Verstappen Racing team, Daniel Juncadella and Jules Gounon, competing in the rescheduled World Endurance Championship (WEC) round in Barcelona, which replaces the cancelled Qatar race, the Formula 1 superstar will take the wheel himself.
Verstappen will share the #3 Mercedes-AMG GT3 with regular team-mate and sim racing friend Chris Lulham, as well as reserve driver Ben Barnicoat. It will be his first appearance in a GT3 car since the 2026 Nurburgring 24 Hours, and his debut in the championship.
