For Max Verstappen, this weekend was all about earning a DMSB Permit A, the licence drivers need to compete on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in top-level cars, including the GT3 class. The reigning Formula 1 World Champion reported to the track on Friday to sit through a theory exam, which enabled him to take part in the seventh round of the Nürburgring Langstrecken Series (NLS) on Saturday.
In that race, he lined up alongside Verstappen.com Racing driver Chris Lulham in a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CS, prepared by Lionspeed GP and slightly de-tuned in terms of power.
