Verstappen arrives to the track, sits in GT4 ahead of Nordschleife challenge!

The four-time F1 world champion is set for a different challenge this weekend, after winning the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix the previous Sunday.

The Dutchman will compete in the ADAC Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie this weekend.

On Saturday morning, he will participate in qualifying. Then he is set to drive in a four hour-long race the same day.

He will do so driving stints for two different teams, in order to earn a DMSB Permit Nordschleife. To achieve that, he has to have two qualified results where he drove a minimum of seven laps.

That could also mean that Verstappen will only compete on Saturday of the current doubleheader, as neither cars are registered for the day after. If an incident occurs, he could still drive on Sunday as well.

As a rookie, Verstappen has to complete eight laps on the circuit following an instructor between 2pm and 4pm local time.

It's not the first time Verstappen visits the Nordschleife circuit. Previously, using the pseudonym 'Franz Hermann,' he drove the Verstappen.com Racing GT3 car, setting an unofficial lap record at the 'Green Hell.'
