Verstappen Racing secures first GT World Challenge Europe win at Magny‑Cours

Verstappen Racing achieved its inaugural victory in the Pro class of the GT World Challenge Europe at the Circuit de Nevers Magny‑Cours. Drivers Jules Gounon and Daniel Juncadella converted pole position into a sprint‑race win in their Mercedes‑AMG GT3, marking the team’s first triumph after a season hampered by mechanical failures and other setbacks.

The win was celebrated by the drivers and the team, with Gounon highlighting Max Verstappen’s role in providing testing opportunities, funding and technical support. Verstappen posted a congratulatory message on social media, expressing pride in the crew’s effort. The success comes as Verstappen continues his Formula 1 campaign without a race win, underscoring the parallel progress of his eponymous GT programme.
