PROBLEMS FOR TEAM VERSTAPPEN! | Nürburgring ADAC Ravenol 24h Race 2026 Car #3 from Team Verstappen Racing forced to pit with a damaged rear right drive shaft, loses positions. The ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring is more than living up to its reputation as a motorsport festival of superlatives this year: with 161 entered cars, it will feature the largest starting field in over ten years. The last time more teams took part in the endurance classic in the Green Hell was in 2014, with 165 cars. Because demand from the teams is so high, the regulations are even being adjusted, as the field was originally limited to 150 participants. This has also been made possible because many racing teams are limiting the amount of space they require, making room for their competitors and colleagues. A first look at the entry list promises an extremely competitive field, with nine GT3 manufacturers and more than 40 cars in the top class. At the same time, the 2026 race will once again showcase what has always made the 24h Nürburgring so special: true multiclass racing, featuring world stars, factory drivers and Nordschleife specialists alongside ambitious privateer drivers. #24hnbr #Nürburgring In collaboration with Nürburgring.tv, Auto Addiction proudly presents to you the entire LIVESTREAM of the 2026 NLS season! _________________________________________________ And as always, thank you very much for watching!

ohhh
HAHAHAHA. SHAME!!! TRASH!!!
Mercedes is shit, just drive BMW
Overdrived by rookiestappen who don't know how to manange mechanic for a 24 hours race. This guy only live in sprints. I don't understand that mediatisation for him, it's just a F1 driver, and as any other typical F1 drivers he prove one more time he's not that good in other categories. Looks, all WEC champions was bad in F1, and all F1 drivers are bad in WEC. There's not a single driver good in both, on the past decades.
The car couldn't handle Max
thats why verstappen needs to learn about track limit. he gotta stop driving aggressive and try to avoid curbs instead going brainless flatout. every driver can drive fast by riding all curbs but it destroys your car. and thats why verstappen never finished a gt3 race. what a dumb driver. DESERVED!
F1 fan here. I watched about 15 hours of this race. This seems like pure and genuine racing. Really enjoyed it. Well done to max, although his team didn't win, they gave it a brilliant go. It's a shame to see the predictable reaction from other f1 fans about his outcome also. Can't wait to learn more aout endurance racing.
Of course all the haters now say Max pushed the car too hard. #rentfree.
Toto build a faulty driveshaft
All the 'racing experts' here thinking Verstappen gained so much time because he redlined every gear for hours while the other drivers knew something he didn't, not knowing it's a 24 hr endurance - what are you smoking. All those drivers out there from rookie to top tier teams understand one thing '' bring it home ''. It's a well known fact that you can only gain time through efficient cornering which is more a suspension, tyres and nerves game and how well you can feel the car through corners. You don't go faster around a corner by redlining it. On the straights the car can only go that fast anyway and every driver out there takes it as fast as it can on the straights, which is not where you gain time.
As a former AMG mechanic, I honestly had a feeling this was coming. You could already see from the opening stint how aggressively the car was being loaded and landed. Then after the driver swap, Daniel Juncadella specifically told Max not to push too hard too early and Max immediately went back to qualifying level pace out the pit which is not good for the car especially after a long pit stop like that 💀 If the driveshaft, CV joints, and surrounding drivetrain components are constantly subjected to repeated flying laps followed by long cooldown periods during pit stops, like in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, then pushed hard again before reaching stable operating temperatures, the resulting mechanical stress can eventually lead to vibration, imbalance, or outright failure. /// AMG still got the win 🥇🏆🥇
Max you are such a legend well done what a frustrating end but what a fantastic weekend you have had ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
how many laps did he last
A good driver gains position in a race no matter how, an excellent driver brings the car home in the rank it was feasible.
They all knows who is the real winner
Max has overdriven this car over its limits and the car couldn't handle it
Max was by far the superior driver out of *ALL* the seasoned pros. What a freaking legend. Winward aught to be *ashamed* of themselves. They HAD IT. Hope Max ditches them for a more competent team. DQ’d from NLS 1, had that part fly off the car in NLS 3? Bollocks, I’m sorry
I would like to ask after max creating a huge the car broke down is that what I'm understanding??
Zum Glück ist dieser Scheiß vorbei. RTL Nitro ganz schlimm. Ist ja gut das dieser Käse fresser fährt. Aber man hört von den Kommentatoren nur Verstappen Verstappen. Bin kein Max Fan. Ich wollte das tatsächlich durchziehen 24 Std. Das Rennen anschauen. Aber nein. Das wurde mir dann Zuviel. Gefreut hat es mich trotzdem das dass Auto vom Verstappen ausgeschieden ist
Idk if all cars made that heavy noise at end of long straight but i knew that was not healthy
