红牛宣布举办一场共有101名车手参加的大型卡丁车比赛，由四届F1冠军维斯塔潘领衔
F1明星马克斯·维斯塔潘下个月将迎来一项新挑战，他将在被誉为世界最大规模卡丁车赛的比赛中与100名车手同场竞技。
这位红牛车手将于9月16日在银石一条专门建造的卡丁车赛道上从发车区最后一位起跑，他的任务是在时间耗尽之前超越全部100名对手。
这场名为“Max vs 100”的比赛将通过Disney+在全球直播，并通过ESPN在美国播出。
这位荷兰车手将迎战来自各个领域的明星阵容，包括红牛运动员、名人、内容创作者和普通车迷。虽然完整的参赛名单尚未公布，但红牛已经确认超长跑运动员Arda Saatçi、篮球明星Chris Matthews、自由式山地车手Matt Jones以及主播TheGrefg、Caedrel和TheDonato将参赛。
维斯塔潘四岁开始自己的卡丁车生涯，随后逐级晋升，17岁时在现小红牛完成F1首秀。他说：“在卡丁车里你能学到所有基础：起步、防守、超车。
“当然，我人生中有很长时间都在开卡丁车，所以能回来总是很高兴。关键是要理解卡丁车的抓地力。我开卡丁车这么多年，自然而然就能重新找到状态。”
红牛在一份声明中表示，这次直播将使用游戏风格的画面和电影般的无人机航拍镜头。
此外，维斯塔潘将能够通过无线电直接与对手交谈，这与F1比赛形成鲜明对比，在F1中车手只能与各自车队或赛事控制中心通话。
法国车手兼赛事总监David Terrien为银石赛道的卡丁车比赛设计了赛道布局，Terrien本人还与两届iRacing世界冠军Sebastian Job一起进行了测试。
“当维斯塔潘在追赶所有人时，我想对所有车手来说这都将是一生难得的体验，”Terrien说，“你将看到维斯塔潘展示他穿梭车流的所有技巧，努力为超车做准备和规划，并以最快的速度穿过车流，因为他不想让前面的车手拉开差距。”
Job 补充道：“我认为要超过100辆车将会极其困难。今天我们完成了50辆，即便如此，在规定时间内完成也是一项挑战。他的任务非常艰巨。”

Max Verstappen to face 100 drivers in ‘world’s biggest kart race’
Red Bull announces big 101-driver karting contest headlined by four-time F1 champion Verstappen
Formula 1 star Max Verstappen will take on a new challenge next month when he goes up against 100 drivers in what has been touted as the world’s biggest kart race.
The Red Bull driver will line up on the back of the grid at a purpose-built kart layout at Silverstone on 16 September, and be tasked with overtaking all 100 rivals before the time runs out.
The race, named ‘Max vs 100’ will be broadcast live on Disney+ around the globe and ESPN in the US.
The Dutchman will be up against a field comprising stars from various disciplines, including Red Bull athletes, celebrities, content creators and everyday fans. While the full entry list is yet to be released, Red Bull has already confirmed the participation of ultrarunner Arda Saatçi, basketball star Chris Matthews, freestyle mountain biker Matt Jones and streamers TheGrefg, Caedrel and TheDonato.
Verstappen, who started his own career in karting at the age of four before rising through the ranks to make his F1 debut with Toro Rosso (now Racing Bulls) at the age of 17, said: “In go-karts you learn all the basics: starts, defending, overtaking.
“Of course, I spent a long period of my life go-karting, so it's always nice to return. It’s about understanding the grip of the go-kart. I've done so many years in go-karting that you quite naturally get back into things."
In a statement, Red Bull said the broadcast will use game-inspired graphics and cinematic drone footage.
Further, Verstappen will be able to talk directly to his rivals using radio, in stark contrast to F1 races where drivers can only communicate with their respective teams or the race control.
French driver and race director David Terrien has designed the layout for the kart race at Silverstone, with Terrien himself testing it out with two-time iRacing World Champion Sebastian Job.
“When you have Max Verstappen chasing everyone, I think that's going to be the experience of a lifetime for all the drivers,” Terrien said. “You're going to have Max showcasing all these skills of looking through the traffic, trying to prepare and plan where he can overtake people, and going through the traffic at the fastest speed he can because he doesn't want to let the drivers at the front pull away.”
Job added: "I think to overtake 100 cars is going to be extremely difficult. Today we did it with 50, and even that was a challenge to do it in the allotted time. He's got his work cut out for him big time."
