Jos' win came just hours after Max Verstappen claimed victory on his GT3 debut at the Nurburgring, alongside teammate Chris Lulham, driving a Ferrari 296 GT3. This means that September 27 will forever be a date to remember for the Verstappen family.

Max Verstappen's debut win at Nordschleife came less than a week after his dominant victory at the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver has hence made it three wins in his last three races across categories, as he also won the Italian GP on September 7.

Now, Verstappen has his eyes set on the Singapore GP, as he looks to maintain an outside shot at the 2025 drivers' title. The Dutchman is 69 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri in the standings with seven rounds of the season still to go.

Speaking after securing his first-ever rally championship, Verstappen said, via RacingNews365:

"We're definitely happy with it! This wasn't the most interesting rally for us, because we made the safe tire choices. At the end, we did have the right tires on the car and things went a bit better, but we really took it easy on the last stage.

"We wanted to win the championship, because that was the most important thing today," he added.

Verstappen also credited his teammate Renaud Jamoul after claiming the title on Saturday, saying that the Belgian co-driver was also "important" in making the achievement possible. He then added that he aims to simply enjoy himself competing in the series, alongside being competitive.
