Verstappen has himself shown interest in switching to endurance racing once his F1 career comes to a close.

Current Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen, is planning to put together his very own two-car GT3 racing team to compete in series' like the GT World Challenge.

According to reports, the F1 driver's goal is to have his own racing team via Verstappen.com Racing - which currently sponsors and supports various racing activities. This includes sponsoring Thierry Vermeulen - the son of Verstappen's manager, Raymond Vermeulen.

Speaking to a Dutch magazine, Verstappen stated, "We are working on it at the moment. Next year will be tight, but I would like to have it as soon as possible. Having a GT3 team in 2025 with a minimum of two cars should be possible."

Max Verstappen wants to offer a platform which can help recognise talented sim racers and prepare them for a career in GT Racing. He mentioned that he wants to build a stepping stone from sim racing to GT3, so one doesn't have to only go through karting to get into motorsports. He said, "We have been working on it for a while. The planning phase is over, we are in action mode now."
