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.

After completing 15 laps at the halfway stage, the #31 Emil Frey team will see Chris Lulham get behind the wheel for the next stint when the next pit stops are made.

It's been the perfect first two stints from the 27-year-old, giving his British team a mammoth cushion for when he takes control of the GT3 Ferrari car.
