在波尔蒂芒交出令人印象深刻的表现后，维斯塔潘希望继续在斯帕-弗朗科尔尚参加GT赛事，并将这条赛道称为自己“最喜欢的赛道”。他是在上周末GT世界挑战赛欧洲站获得第九名后透露这一想法的，当时他与克里斯·卢勒姆、本·巴尼科特共同驾驶Team 维斯塔潘的梅赛德斯赛车。
“这当然是我最喜欢的赛道，所以我正努力让它成行，”维斯塔潘在赛后说。“我只需要把一切计划好，这样当我抵达时也能准备充分。”
“我也是比利时人，所以能去那里参加一年中最大的耐力赛事之一真是太好了。我会尽最大努力到场。”
维斯塔潘出生在比利时，他的母亲、前卡丁车手索菲·库姆彭是比利时人。
马克斯·维斯塔潘：关于他在GTWC欧洲首秀的常见问题
2027年斯帕24小时耐力赛将于6月24日至27日举行，恰逢葡萄牙大奖赛与英国大奖赛之间的周末。该赛事是洲际GT挑战赛的一部分，与巴瑟斯特12小时耐力赛、德克萨斯8小时耐力赛、纽博格林24小时耐力赛和铃鹿赛事并列。
尽管维斯塔潘对2026年一级方程式规则持批评态度，但他已确认与红牛续约。然而，尽管最近连续两次获胜，他并未完全享受锦标赛所提供的一切，因此他对GT赛车能为他提供什么很感兴趣。
五月，他参加了纽博格林北环赛道的纽博格林24小时耐力赛，与达尼·容卡德拉、卢卡斯·奥尔和朱尔斯·古农共用一辆赛车。他们一直领先到比赛后期，直到传动轴问题使他们提前结束了征程。
“与队友共享赛车当然是我迄今为止在生活中从未真正做过的事情，”他说。“当然，我在纽博格林北环赛道第一次体验了这种感觉，所以我非常享受。现在在GT世界挑战赛中为我获得第一个机会，这让我很兴奋。”
在波尔蒂芒，维斯塔潘与一些从卡丁车时期就认识的车手同场竞技。
“其中一些人我以前已经同场比过，”他说。“有些人年纪比我稍大，但他们在世界各地、各个组别中都取得了很大成就。所以水平非常高。”

他的目标是稳步进步：“就是每一场比赛都取得进步，变得更好，积累越来越多经验，并在围场里所有大牌车手之间展现自己。”
据信，二月的巴瑟斯特并不在他的考虑范围内，而铃鹿又与F1赛历冲突。这样一来，纽博格林和斯帕就成了2027年可能的两场比赛。
目前，他的注意力重新回到F1和本周末的美国大奖赛上，此前他已在雪邦和新加坡夺冠。

Spa 24 Hours emerges as Max Verstappen’s likely 2027 GT target
The Red Bull driver is trying to make a Spa appearance work around his Formula 1 commitments
Motorsport culture beyond the track. Driver lifestyle, fashion, travel, design and the stories that make racing more than a sport.
Following an impressive performance at Portimao, Max Verstappen is hoping to continue his GT racing at Spa-Francorchamps, which he describes as his "favourite track". He revealed this after finishing ninth in the GT World Challenge Europe this gone weekend where he shared the Team Verstappen Mercedes with Chris Lulham and Ben Barnicoat.
“It’s my favourite track, of course, so I’m trying to make it work,” Verstappen said after the race. “I just need to plan it all well that, of course, when I arrive [I’m] also well prepared.
“I’m also Belgian, so it’s just nice to be there to do one of the biggest endurance events of the year. I’m going to try my best to be there.”
Verstappen was born in Belgium, and his mother, former kart racer Sophie Kumpen, is Belgian.
Max Verstappen: FAQ about his debut in GTWC Europe
The 2027 Spa 24 Hours will run from 24 to 27 June, on the weekend between the Portuguese and British Grands Prix. The race is part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge, alongside the Bathurst 12 Hour, the Texas 8 Hour, the Nurburgring 24 Hours and Suzuka.
While Verstappen has been critical of the 2026 Formula 1 regulations, he has confirmed a contract extension with Red Bull. But with him not fully enjoying what the championship has to offer, despite two recent consecutive wins, he's interested in what GT racing has to offer him.
In May he raced the Nurburgring 24 Hours on the Nordschleife, sharing a car with Dani Juncadella, Lucas Auer and Jules Gounon. They led until late in the race, when a driveshaft issue brought their campaign to an early end.
“Sharing the car with team-mates is of course something that I haven’t really done in my life so far,” he said. “Of course, I got a taste at the Nordschleife for the first time, so I really enjoyed that. To get the first opportunity here now in the GT World Challenge for me is just exciting.”
At Portimao, Verstappen was racing against drivers he has known since karting.
“Some of them I have raced already in the past,” he said. “Some of those are a little bit older than me, but they have achieved a lot all over the world in every single category. So it’s a very high level.”

His target is steady progress: “It’s just every race making progress, getting better, getting more and more experience, and showing yourself between all the big boys in the paddock.”
Bathurst in February is not understood to be on his radar, and Suzuka clashes with the F1 calendar. That leaves the Nurburgring and Spa as the likely two races for 2027.
For now, his focus returns to F1 and this weekend’s United States Grand Prix, after wins at Sepang and Singapore.
