I think this is a great direction for him and his money. Best of luck....who knows, he could be the next Roger Penske (race driver turned team owner).

The Red Bull star also has his own Sim Racing team, Verstappen.com Racing. But with his Sim Racing already on his path to having his own team, he is already on the move to the next one. Verstappen recently announced that he is working on yet another one of his racing teams. The star who made it clear, he would want to retire at the end of his contract in 2028, seems to already have his focus elsewhere.

"The next step is our own GT3 team. Next year is pretty tight, but I want it as soon as possible. A GT3 team in 2025, should fit. With at least two cars.” - - - Max Verstappen

Well, with his 3 World Titles in a row and with his $65Million/year (World Title bonuses included)
So .It won't be hard for MAX to achieve that..

That's what I said here => https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=508
And here => https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=515

Can't be otherwise , MAX is just 25 YO . But he's already in racing for 21 years !

MAX is born at the track !

Yes .One of MAX's latest sim-races was in an M3/G82 (as you can see)
As we know : His Redline Sim-Racing Team is just a virtual reality , but he said in one of his latest interviews he wants to make from his sim-racing a reality ...
Very likely , It's part of his new 2024 race-project to get his own GT3 racing team .

On the other hand : BMW would be very glad to get a driver like Max Verstappen and triple F1 World Champion in an ///M3 . BMW would even pay MAX to race with a factory ///M race machine in his race team...
So . Let's hope so , for all the BMW ///M enthusiasts at this forum !
Can't wait to see that ...#UnLeashTheLion !!!

Sure . As they say : It's never enough ...

On the other hand : MAX has this as a bigger $/bonus => https://www.verstappen.com/clothing

I hear 7-8 employees are working hard in shifts, to ship it 24/7 all over the world..
Making $Millions while you sleep is very likely the easiest part

True . The MAX gear is fantastic and is always updated for the latest races and victories.
The Ferrari gear is made for the Italian clown midgets and won't fit for giants like us .

He was born to race. Amazing to see what he’s achieved, as well as the support from his parents.

Climbing the ladder in European karting is unreal. My son will start competing later this year or early next year and it’s very overwhelming for me at times thinking about how to get this done lol but he loves it and works damn hard at it, so ill have to work hard to keep the money train active haha.
