The World’s Best Racing Driver Is About to Race 100 Karts at Once
Max Verstappen will try to pass 100 drivers in a live karting challenge that also revisits the training and travel behind his Formula 1 rise.
- On Wednesday, Sept. 16, Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen attempts to overtake 100 drivers in a unique karting challenge at Silverstone, with coverage streaming globally on ESPN on Disney+ beginning at 5 p.m. BST.
- Jos Verstappen served as mechanic and engine tuner for Max throughout his early career, as the pair spent years training at a local circuit in Genk, Belgium, driving across Europe to hone his skills.
- Clocking more than 60,000 motorway miles annually, the father-and-son team traveled to tracks across Italy, Spain, and Europe, while Max often attempted to balance schoolwork during those 10- or 12-hour road trips in their van.
- This challenge mirrors the overtaking drills Max practiced during summer holidays as a child, as he aims to pass 100 karts on the specially designed Silverstone track, applying lessons learned from his path to Formula 1.
- Having fulfilled his childhood dream by winning four Formula 1 titles, Max maintains a deep nostalgia for his karting roots, continuing to engage in track activities away from Formula 1 by channeling his early competitive drive.
