One of the parts of Verstappen.com Racing is Team Redline. This team was founded about twenty years ago and has been the best team in sim racing ever since. Team Redline works together with some established names in motorsports and beyond, and has successful simracing programs.

In the real racing world Jos Verstappen and Thierry Vermeulen will be racing under Verstappen.com Racing. Verstappen is a former Formula 1 driver and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 class. Recently, Verstappen made his rally debut. Vermeulen will compete in the GT class on behalf of Verstappen.com Racing. In the coming season, Thierry will participate in the ADAC GT Masters championship. The ultimate goal is to participate in the DTM championship under the guidance of Jos.
