As always, let\u2019s take a look at the two main Formula 1<\/a> stories from today, Saturday, September 13.<\/p>\n

The four-time world champion arrived at the Nordschleife weekend with the primary goal of securing the A permit, which would allow him to take part in GT3 class with the Ferrari 296 of the Emily Frey Racing team.<\/p>\n

Today, the Red Bull driver competed in a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CS, also sporting the Verstappen.com livery.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman therefore completed the necessary mileage behind the wheel of car #980 before handing over to Lulham for the final stint of the race.<\/p>\n

Verstappen will therefore have the opportunity to compete in the GT3 class with Emily Frey Racing in two weeks, but, most importantly, to take part in next year\u2019s 24 Hours of N\u00fcrburgring, a goal he has long declared.<\/p>\n

Verstappen impresses both in qualifying and race in GT4 at NordschleifeVerstappen impressed from qualifying onwards, setting by far the fastest time in his CUP 3 (G) category<\/a> and even outpacing several ProAM cars that were not limited by the 130-horsepower restriction of his own car.He finished qualifying in sixth in his category and 27th overall, despite having a restricted engine and carrying extra weight compared to the other cars. He then finished the four-hour race alongside Chris Lulham in seventh place.<\/a><\/p>\n

In the afternoon, rumors began circulating questioning whether he would obtain the license, as he had been unable to complete the 14 laps required by regulations in two different cars due to technical issues with car #89.<\/p>\n
