WEC 2025

Nobody gifts lemans. Toyota spent the whole early 2024 season hiding their true performance to have better bop at lemans, only for them to throw it away again, like the year prior.

Toyota was the faster car both years at lemans.

Fully agree. I really hope this is something they take a look at for this year.

And I am fine with some cars being a bit heavier/less powered than others at some venues, it’s totally OK as that is the name of the game now. My point is that they must not make it too extreme by basically taking some cars completely out of contention which is what happened today and was obvious before it even started.

On to Imola!

Official: Max Verstappen with own team and Aston Martin in GT3 championship

Max Verstappen will participate in the GT World Challenge Endurance this year with his own team Verstappen.com Racing.
It will be with an Aston Martin GT3, which is run by 2 Seas Motorsport.

Verstappen.com Racing, the official racing program of four-time world champion Max Verstappen, has announced its 2025 program and drivers. One of the most exciting initiatives is the transition of sim racing talent into real-world GT3 racing. Max has handpicked one of Team Redline’s top drivers, Chris Lulham, to make this significant leap.


...

Max, who is known to take his passion for racing very seriously, in 2022 established Verstappen.com Racing supported and powered by Red Bull, that nowadays competes in GT3 racing, rally and sim racing with a mix of experienced and emerging drivers on real and virtual racetracks.

Off track, Max continues to be driven, focused on building a foundation to support teams and drivers on their journey to success. Max highlights the next chapter in the Verstappen.com Racing project:

“It has always been my dream to support young drivers and for a while now, I have been trying to create the possibility of a sim driver to progress to real world racing. With Chris Lulham, now being promoted from Team Redline sim racing to our GT3 Sprint and Endurance Racing, teaming up with Thierry Vermeulen, who has been competing for Verstappen.com Racing for a few years now, we take it to the next step.”

Verstappen adds: “We go racing all together, partnering with professional support teams in challenging championships. Of course, there is still a lot to learn to maximise our performance with the cars and drivers. The goal is to be competitive and fight in the top of the field. It is great that we now make it happen for a sim racer to take it up against established racing drivers. I am very excited for the year ahead!”

Chris Lulham said: “It is a really exciting prospect and I can’t wait to get started. We already had a very thorough and busy off-season preparing for what is coming. It is an unbelievable chance and I can’t wait to make the most out of this opportunity.”

You're welcome.

Let's see them into an appropriate thread, and not in the RB Team one - as they are not on topic.

You are welcome to move it to an appropriate thread. I couldn't find one. I think this is great news.
Where can I post it in what thread so I can delete it here?

Edit: I just saw my first post is posted again here. I will also move it to another thread once I know which thread.

Edit 2: I just saw you moved it into the WEC thread. I didn't see that because the title is still the RBR team thread.
A pity that many Max fans don't visite the WEC thread and don't see this news.

No worries Wouter - and yes, agreed - a shame we don't always recognise other series.
