Ford <b>Racing</b> enters <b>race</b> to sign F1 champ Max Verstappen

Ford Racing enters race to sign Max Verstappen Change your timezone: Ford Racing enters race to sign Max Verstappen Max Verstappen loves his GT3 racing as well as F1 Change your timezone: Ford Racing chief Mark Rushbrook has hinted that discussions are underway with Max Verstappen about a potential team up. Four-time world champion Verstappen is clearly not a fan of the new regulations that have swept into F1 in 2026, describing the new cars as 'not fun' to drive, and he is said to be 'seriously considering' his involvement in the sport. Instead, he has been enjoying other racing series, including GT3 racing with his own GT3 team, Verstappen Racing. Next weekend, Verstappen will once again take to the Nurburgring Norschleife for the 24 Hours of Nurburgring race alongside team-mates Jules Gounon, Dani Juncadella and Lucas Auer. And one team boss has clearly seen quite how much the Dutchman has been enjoying racing outside of F1, dropping a hint that he wants Verstappen to join his World Endurance Championship (WEC) project. Ford have a good relationship with Red Bull's F1 team, with the pair having entered a power unit partnership at the start of this year. "We love Max," Rushbrook told Motorsport.com. "We love what he does in the Formula 1 car, on the track. "We love him off the track. He's a great person, as much as he's a great driver. We love his passion to be racing GT3, like he is, and what he does with developing drivers through sim racing and getting them on the track. "So, of course, we have regular discussions with him about what are the opportunities to do more in sportscar, including Hypercar. He’s a racer. He wants to race. "We’re not announcing anything," Rushbrook continued. "He wants to go race Le

A Real Pathway Into Motorsport: How <b>Sim Racing</b> Is Driving Talent From First Laps To World ...

The idea that a racing career must begin at the track is being challenged like never before. Across motorsport, drivers are proving that the journey can start in a simulator and still lead to the highest level. What was once seen as an alternative is now becoming a foundation. Now more than ever, sim racing is opening doors for those who may never have had access to traditional pathways, with governing bodies and teams increasingly building structured routes into the sport. “Modern racing simulators are helping drivers to develop long before they reach Formula One and other top categories,” explains Oliver Norris, CEO of Cool Performance. “Accurate, realistic simulators provide the opportunity to optimise race craft beyond very limited test days and race weekends.” From Simulator to the Pinnacle In recent years, even at the very top of the sport, the influence of simulation has become impossible to ignore. The reigning Formula One World Champion Lando Norris spent years refining his craft in the virtual world, underlining just how vital simulation has become, both as preparation and as a core part of performance. Modern simulation systems now play a central role in driver development, offering levels of realism and consistency that were once only available within team environments. Among those contributing to this evolution is Cool Performance, founded by Oliver Norris, whose systems have played a role in his brother Lando’s preparation. Now widely regarded as a benchmark in professional racing simulation, the company’s technology has been shaped through feedback from hundreds of professional drivers, combined with its founder Oliver Norris’ own experience behind the wheel. Oliver spent eight years competing in motorsport, progressing from karting through to single-seater categories, while also working closely alongside his brother, Lando Norris, during his rise to Formula One. Training Without Limits Simulation has

Ford Discussing Potential 2027 Hypercar Move With Max Verstappen

The executive Mark Rushbrook revealed that they maintain "regular" conversations with the Dutchman. "We love Max," he stated. The four time F1 champion seeks new horizons due to his discontent with the current regulations. Max Verstappen is getting closer to making the jump to the world of endurance racing. Mark Rushbrook, a Ford executive, confirmed in an exclusive interview with Motorsport that the American brand maintains regular conversations with the Dutchman for him to compete in the Hypercar category of the World Endurance Championship (WEC) in 2027. "Do we have conversations with Max? Yes, of course," Rushbrook declared bluntly. "We love Max, we love what he does in the Formula 1 car. We also value him off the track. He's a great person, as good as the great driver he is," added the executive, who did not hide the brand's admiration for the four time champion. Ford's interest is not new, the company has already seen Verstappen compete in other categories, such as GT3, and values his role as a developer of young drivers through sim racing: "We love his passion for competing in GT3 and what he does developing drivers through SIM Racing, so of course we have regular conversations with him about what the possibilities are to do more in sportscars, including Hypercar. He's a driver: he wants to race," Rushbrook stated. The Dutchman's discontent with the new Formula 1 regulations is the main driver of this search for new horizons, the four time champion has been one of the fiercest critics of the current regulations and has set off alarms at Red Bull by stating that he is considering leaving the category if major changes are not made. In that context, the Austrian team has already set to work. According to Motorsport Italia, "it has been confirmed

Fabiano Sterlacchini: The man engineering Aprilia's MotoGP resurgence

Aprilia's 2026 MotoGP season has been nothing short of remarkable, with the RS-GPs regularly featuring at the sharp end of the grid. We sat down with Technical Director Fabiano Sterlacchini to understand what's driving that performance, and what the team is building toward as MotoGP prepares for a regulatory reset in 2027. Q: Since you joined the team, the RS-GP has gone from race-winner to genuine championship contender. Is there one specific area where you feel you've brought the most progress? Sterlacchini: Not really, to be honest. As I always said, it's super important in motorsport that you don't have any weak points. You have to work in parallel in any area of development – in our case, the aerodynamic, the electronic, the chassis behaviour, and the engine performance. What we did was (address) some specific topics. For example, the stability of the bike. This has probably been one of the crucial points, because now the bike is much more calm than before, and for the rider it's much more easy to push to the limit. Because you can have two approaches. One, you are changing the limit of the bike, but it's unpredictable, so the rider is keeping a margin. Or, you are not changing the limit, but you are making this limit more predictable, so the rider is reducing the margin and you are increasing the real performance. We worked for sure in this area. And in the meantime, we worked quite intensively across some areas but, I would say, in a balanced way – aerodynamic, electronic, chassis. We brought evolution in every area, and probably this is the secret of the gradient of growth. Q: There's been a lot of talk about the F-duct innovation – something clever that technically anybody could have found, but Aprilia did

FROM <b>SIM</b> TO CIRCUIT

In motorsport, opportunity is often the difference between aspiration and achievement. For Porsche Malaysia, that belief has taken tangible form in creating a pathway where passion, performance and potential converge. At the centre of this story is 26-year-old Naquib Azlan, a Malaysian talent whose journey from virtual racing to the professional grid of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia (PCCA) 2026 season signals a compelling new chapter – not only for himself, but for the future of local motorsport.
