Max Verstappen took an emphatic victory on his GT3 debut at the Nordschleife in the Nurburgring Endurance Series.
Driving a Ferrari 296 entered by Emil Frey Racing alongside team-mate Chris Lulham, Verstappen jumped from third to first at the start and proceeded to create a gap of approximately one minute at the front of the field over the first two hours of the race, with metronomic consistency.
