Verstappen to race in virtual 6 hours of Spa-Francorchamps this week

Max Verstappen will make another appearance this week in the virtual Le Mans series, in which he previously competed several times. On Friday and Saturday, the Dutchman will be in action at the virtual six hours of Spa-Francorchamps. Romain Grosjean will also participate in the race.

The virtual racing class sent out the following message to the world: "Yes, the rumours are true. Max Verstappen will be returning to the Le Mans Virtuel grid for round three of the 2022 series. Once you've conquered the peak of IRL racing, you may as well try the peak of sim racing too. And to all of the orange army, you can thank us later!"

Verstappen is a fan of virtual long-distance racing and has been in action from his simulator before. He still competes for Team Redline, along with Luke Bennett, Jeffrey Rietveld and Maximilian Benecke. In the past, he also sometimes shared a virtual car with Lando Norris.
