Max Verstappen competed in the VCO ProSim Series yesterday, together with Max Benecke, where the seventh round was held at the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps. It was not easy for the Dutchman, however, as he crashed out of the race.

Verstappen crashes hard during online race

Verstappen was leading the seventh lap in the online standings, but then something happened for the Dutchman that can only happen in sim racing. On-screen, the two drivers left each other plenty of room, but Verstappen still flew into the boarding and his race already seemed over after the incident with Varrone.

The situation only got worse for Verstappen, who seemed to be able to continue his race, but when he returned to the track another driver hit the back of the Orange car number 33. The race was over for Verstappen and Benecke. The victory went to Karam and Bakkum.
