A minute of silence will be observed before the start of Sunday's second four-hour race, following the tragic passing of driver Juha Miettinen after a multi-car incident on Saturday.
Verstappen led the tributes to the 66-year-old driver. With the F1 season on hold in April due to the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, Verstappen has added the NLS4 and NLS5 races to his expanding GT3 schedule.
Verstappen has partnered with seasoned endurance driver Lucas Auer, nephew of former F1 driver Gerhard Berger, in the Red Bull-livered Mercedes-AMG GT3 car for Verstappen Racing. They will compete in a 37-strong GT3 field at the infamous 'Green Hell' in the latest rounds of the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie. For optimal video playback, please use the Chrome browser.
