Verstappen effect: Nürburgring 24hr sold out

Max Verstappen's debut appearance at the Nürburgring 24 Hours has caused the event to sell out for the first time ever, with only limited individual day tickets remaining for Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Verstappen will race for CP Racing driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo alongside teammates Dani Juncadella, Jules Gounon, and Lucas Auer. The four-time F1 world champion has been vocal about preferring sports car racing, contrasting it favourably with F1's new cars, which he has criticised as 'anti-racing' due to their focus on battery harvesting.
