Excerpt translation:
"According to information from Auto Motor und Sport, Verstappen is reportedly planning to obtain the so-called Nordschleife permit this year. This special racing license is required to participate in official NLS events and also in the legendary 24-hour race at the Nürburgring.
During a winner's interview at a DNLS event last year, the racing driver had already expressed his interest in real racing: "The Nürburgring Nordschleife is one of my absolute favorite racetracks, and I hope that in a few years I can also compete here with a real GT3.""

In the end, Verstappen's Ferrari had to be towed away from the track during the test day. Car stopped alongside the track (apparently when Verstappen's team mate Chris Lulham was driving it). No physical damage discernible.
