MAX is P45 at this moment . His de-tuned Cayman has a lack of ponies (300 HP)
But it isn't over yet (!)

His car is number 980 I think and he has to go through this 'learner process' before he get his super permit for the GT3 class then the opposition will tremble

MAX is in the box with a brake issue and the crew are replacing the b/fluid.

Yeah .He had to brake too much with all the slow drivers in front of him ...

When MAX is done with the weak Cayman , then the car is ready for the car graveyard (!)

There's Green Hell 'rain at this moment ...Lots of water at the track (!)

Chance for him to gain a few places...

Last lap for the leaders, looks like Porsche 3 car and 4 will make it a 1-2.

The reigning 2025 F1 World Champion even did it with boiling brake fluid

This guy is on another planet when it comes to his ability to drive whatever he is in faster than anyone. Even with little experience he schooled his class. IMO we have never seen a driver this good in Motorsport. Not even Alo who was super well rounded.

Yeah. It's pretty simple . MAX is the undisputed GOAT (!)

I saw him driving in his kart here in Belgium (Genk) . MAX was 12 and it was mind blowing.
MAX was lapping the other drivers on slicks in the rain while the other drivers ran with rain tires.
He also ran in winter on ice and snow as part from Jos's karting training .

all going well he is racing in 2 cars this evening in the same race. so he should get his A permit after one race ...

Max didn't meet the conditions of completing 25% of the race in 2 cars as car #89 was in pieces and wasn't able to start the race. but for some reason Max drove car #89 from the pits and did a lap at the end of the 4hr race thus showing he "competed in 2 cars".

there is another race on Sunday but Max doesn't need to drive ...

apparently he was so fast in car #980 that the Germans awarded him the Permit A anyway.

Germans?! (maybe it was a non German German )

I can't believe he was 25 seconds faster than the next closest car in his category, what in the actual *.

This guy is unbelievable.

This guy is unbelievable.

quali and race was wet. he destroyed everyone in the corners, drifting into the corners, and powersliding out. well not exactly, but he was on the limit as the car was moving a bit esp going into the corners and pulling away at the corners.

there's like 100s of footage of #980 from the 1 hr quali and 4hr race lol. at least that's what i can find from quick scanning the feed.

Max is a true racer. You can tell that all he really cares about is being out on track and pushing himself.
