In a sports car, Verstappen had to start from 17th place in a crowded field of competitors. After just half a lap, Verstappen informed his teammates to take a look behind him. His teammates did not believe it could be like that, but Verstappen indeed had a mega start. He climbed from P17 to P2 on lap one.

In the closing stages of the race, luck smiled on Verstappen, who was driving under the name of Jos Verstappen. In a leading group of five, they entered the last corner of the final lap. Verstappen deliberately went off his gas a bit and saw the first four go wide in duels with each other. Verstappen took advantage on the inside and drove to the finish line.
