'Full-time sim driver' Verstappen competes in 23-hour race for charity

Max Verstappen will take part in a 23-hour long sim race in November, in between the two F1 tripleheaders that remain on 2024 calendar. The charity event will be organised by sim racer Jimmy Broadbent for the sixth time.

"Full time sim racer, part time F1 driver Max Verstappen," is how the content creator and sim racer Broadbent announced that Verstappen will participate in his charity event this year. On 9-10 November, the race will be held on the virtual Zolder circuit. A chaotic race could be expected, as drivers will compete in several classes, and random safety cars will be deployed throughout the 23 hours. Moreover, there will also be a voice-chat karaoke.

Broadbent, who besides being a driver is a content creator with many followers on social media, is also known for being open about his mental problems. He organises frequent events to raise awareness and money for charities. In total, he has nearly raised €350,000 for the aforementioned cause. You can find the fundraiser's link here.
