It has been total domination from Max Verstappen in his first GT3 race, leading at the Nordschleife by over a minute at the halfway stage.
After qualifying P3 for the four-hour race, the Dutchman was able to move into P1 after the first corner with a lovelt move around the outside.
Since then, the four-time world champion has not looked back, driving the first two hours with superb poise and control to create a gap of over a minute from the #6 Ford team.
