Max Verstappen has officially unveiled the 2025 program for his racing team, Verstappen.com Racing, marking a significant expansion into GT3 competition. The team's ambitious plans include entering the GT World Challenge Europe with an Aston Martin, the launch of a high-tech training facility, and a breakthrough opportunity for sim racer Chris Lulham to transition into real-world racing.
Verstappen.com Racing Joins GT3 Class with Aston Martin
In an exciting development, Verstappen.com Racing will compete in the GT World Challenge Europe with the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo. The team has secured a strong lineup, with Chris Lulham making his GT3 debut alongside Thierry Vermeulen in the Sprint category and teaming up with Harry King for the Endurance Cup.
Lulham, a standout talent from the esports team Redline, was personally selected by Verstappen to make the transition from virtual racing to GT3 competition. Expressing his enthusiasm for the move, Verstappen shared on his website:
"It has always been my dream to support young drivers, and for a while now, I have been working on creating opportunities for sim racers to progress into real-world racing. With Chris Lulham now moving from Team Redline to our GT3 Sprint and Endurance Racing team, alongside Thierry Vermeulen, we are taking a big step forward."
He added, "We go racing together, partnering with professional support teams in highly competitive championships. Of course, there is a lot to learn to maximize our performance with both the cars and the drivers, but the goal is to be competitive and fight at the top of the field. It’s fantastic that we’re making it possible for a sim racer to challenge established racing drivers. I’m really excited for the year ahead!"
Chris Lulham on His Big Break
Lulham, eager to begin his GT3 journey, spoke about his excitement: "It’s an incredible opportunity, and I can’t wait to get started. We had an intense and productive off-season preparing for this challenge. Max has been working closely with Thierry and me, helping us set up the car. They’ve both been extremely friendly, cooperative, and supportive. I couldn’t have asked for better teammates. I’m truly grateful for this opportunity through Verstappen.com Racing."
Verstappen.com Racing Pro Simulation: A Cutting-Edge Training Facility
In addition to its expansion into GT3 racing, Verstappen.com Racing has launched a state-of-the-art simulator facility—Verstappen.com Racing Pro Simulation. This advanced training hub will help drivers prepare for different racing disciplines using high-tech simulators.
The facility features two 180-degree Simulator Domes, one dedicated to formula cars (from F4 to F1) and the other for GT racing. With cutting-edge data analysis tools, realistic simulation technology, and professional coaching, drivers will be able to fine-tune their skills ahead of race weekends, test sessions, and category shifts. This project will be led by Atze Kerkhof, ensuring an elite-level training environment.
Jos Verstappen’s Continued Passion for Rally Racing
While Verstappen.com Racing ventures into GT3, rallying remains a key part of its motorsport endeavors. Jos Verstappen will continue his packed rally schedule, competing in both the Belgian Rally Championship and the European Rally Championship.
Sharing his passion for the sport, Jos said: "I’m glad I found rallying. It gives me a huge drive again and a clear goal. I love everything about it—not just the driving but also the communication with my co-driver. We share a strong bond, and we’re both very committed and honest with each other, which is crucial."
He further revealed, "This year, we have about twenty rally events planned. It’s an insanely beautiful program, and I’m excited for what’s ahead."
A Thrilling Year Ahead for Verstappen.com Racing
With its expansion into GT3 racing, the introduction of a world-class simulator training facility, and an active rally schedule, Verstappen.com Racing is set for a landmark year in 2025.
