How to watch Max Verstappen race GT World Challenge Portimao free: Live stream, start time and schedule
After a successful weekend in Singapore, Max Verstappen is now spending a rare week outside of Formula 1 behind the wheel of a Mercedes-AMG GT3. Apparently, the F1 schedule isn't punishing enough for the Dutchman, who will be racing Portimao, Portugal, in the season-concluding 2026 GT World Challenge round. This is how and where you can watch it. The Red Bull driver will be coming off not just…
Max Verstappen will race in the GT World Challenge at Portimao, Portugal, at the end of the 2026 season. The race will be a three-hour event starting on Saturday, 17 October, at 5pm local time and ending at 8pm. Team Verstappen Racing will enter three drivers #3 - Verstappen, Barnicoat, and Lulham. Daniel Juncadella and Jules Gounon will be driving in the FIA World Endurance Championship that weekend.
Ben Barnicoat and Chris Lulham will join Verstappen in the #3 Team Verstappen Racing entry, filling in for Juncadella and Gounon. This event could give Verstappen a chance at success after a tough year, including a technical failure at the Nurburgring 24 Hours earlier in the year. The race will be streamed on the GT World YouTube channel for free in multiple languages, with qualifying on Friday from 5.55pm to 7.05pm local time.
