The Dutchman travelled to Germany to make his GT3 race debut at the 57th ADAC Barbarossa Prize at the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
After earning his DMSB permit to race at the 'Green Hell', the four-time champion partnered up with British driver Chris Lulham for Emil Frey Racing for Race Nine of the season.

For the ninth round of the NLS at the Nordschleife, Verstappen got behind the wheel of the #31 car for qualifying, putting his car in P3 before the four-hour race took place.
However, when race time came around, no one was a match for the Dutchman, taking the lead with a fine move around the outside of the first corner after a rolling start, which was not relinquished.

Verstappen took control of the first two stints to open up a lead of over a minute over his rivals, with teammate Llham increasing that gap when he took to the track. And it may not be too long before the 27-year-old returns to the Nordschleife.
