Verstappen Open to Super GT Drives but Wants a Marquee One-Off Event

Four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen said he is open to racing in Super GT but that the series' lack of a single standout event makes a one-off appearance hard to justify.

Verstappen turned his first laps in a Nissan Z GT500 at Fuji Speedway last month during a Red Bull-organised promotional shoot, calling the car "fantastic" despite heavy rain limiting his running. It was only his second outing in a contemporary Super GT prototype, following a Honda NSX-GT run at Motegi in 2022, and he has also driven a Mercedes-AMG GT3 at the Nürburgring NLS2.

Verstappen said he would find it easier to commit if Super GT offered a marquee standalone race rather than a full championship, noting he cannot do a whole series. The 2026 Super GT calendar runs eight races across seven venues, with most rounds at 300km and two endurance events, the Fuji GT 3 Hours serving as the de facto showpiece.
