This is way more entertaining than F1 and I’m blown away at the skill these drivers have I’m addicted
F1 needs to take notes 😂 real racing will always be more entertaining than Mario Cart.
Watching Max's first stint was incredible. I couldn't believe it at times. I think the commentators were speechless.
Max's racing instincts are out of this world. He just has such a feel for every aspect of a race and he's always on it.
P10 to Leading the Race Legend MAX

A 25 second lead is absolutely fucking insane
This man is always entertaining whenever he's on the track
Max just humbled all those OLD GT drivers lmao
This is better than f1 in 2026 That’s for certain
So even Kevin Estre, which has been pointed out as the best GT3 driver felt the pressure of Max his presence😁😜
Man why no one is talking about the scenery. It's so exciting to race between nature like that. In F1 it's just so artificial.
Estre and Arjun crashes not random. Oil on track.
Thanks for keeping us Americans in the loop.
With all this hype going about, I really can't wait for 24 Hours of Le Mans & Spa coming up! 🎉
