Max Verstappen and Lando Norris have both enjoyed their weekends after winning the virtual 24-hour race around Spa. The Formula 1 duo raced for Team Redline PRT and completed the event in the Audi R8 LMS Gt3. 

Verstappen and Norris were joined by simracers Max Benecke and Max Wenig. They took an early lead, but in the final stages, their win looked in doubt when Verstappen's brake pedal broke. But McLaren driver Norris took over and won the race. 

Verstappen was delighted with the race win. He spoke of his enjoyment with the race itself in a conversation with the Dutch branch of Motorsport.com. "Of course, it is great to do and to work together with guests who come from this world. That collaboration is simply unique and creates a nice atmosphere."
