Max Verstappen is fast in anything that has four wheels. Of course, the Red Bull Racing driver knows how to drive well a Formula 1 car and in his spare time he likes to drive a GT car. Leading up to the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Verstappen can add another new type of car to that list: A GTP from Acura (the American branch of Honda, ed.), which normally competes in the IMSA championship. This car can be compared to a hypercar in the World Endurance Championship (WEC).
After Scott Dixon gave Verstappen instructions, the Dutchman took to the track. These are the first images of Verstappen in the Acura ARX-06 GTP.
