      Max Verstappen may make another appearance in GT3 this year, as the Dutch driver is now associated with the GT World Challenge finale at Portimao. According to the Dutch publication Formule 1, Verstappen is contemplating racing alongside his regular GT3 teammate Chris Lulham during the free weekend following the Singapore GP before heading to Austin for the US GP. The four-time world champion has consistently expressed his intention to engage in endurance racing as part of his long-term goals. "I would like to do all the big endurance races at some point," he stated recently at Zandvoort. "In general, 24-hour races would be quite exciting to participate in." His possible appearance at Portimao is complicated by the commitments of Mercedes-AMG drivers Daniel Juncadella and Jules Gounon, who have conflicting WEC schedules. Mercedes-AMG has not confirmed Verstappen’s involvement. "Mercedes-AMG Motorsport cannot confirm whether Max Verstappen will take part in the final GT World Challenge race in Portimao, nor whether Jules Gounon and Daniel Juncadella will be unavailable for the race," a spokesperson stated. "We are currently exploring various options to ensure our effective participation in Portimao." Additionally, five-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou is being associated with the project, with reports suggesting that Verstappen Racing has already reached out to him regarding a potential drive.
