Verstappen returns in virtual 6 Hours of Spa

The virtual racing class sent out the following message to the world: "Yes, the rumours are true. Max Verstappen will be returning to the Le Mans Virtuel grid for round three of the 2022 series. Once you've conquered the peak of IRL racing, you may as well try the peak of sim racing too. And to all of the orange army, you can thank us later!"

Verstappen is a fan of virtual long-distance racing and has been in action from his simulator before. He still competes for Team Redline, along with Luke Bennett, Jeffrey Rietveld and Maximilian Benecke. In the past, he also sometimes shared a virtual car with Lando Norris.
