Thanks to a strange scheduling mishap is the endurance classic in the same weekend as the Grand Prix of Azerbaijan in Baku, but what do we think of the choice of Jos?

Not that we have a lot of to find have, but first things first. Jos would together with Jan Lammers and Jumbo-boss Frits van Eerd participate in the 24 hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 class. Indeed, that’s the class in which Verstappen along with Event and Van merksteijn in 2008, everyone and everything on a heap of reed in the beautiful Porsche RS Spyder.

Next year June would be Jos so appointment with Lammers and Van Eerd. We are happy, because Verstappen Sr. remains a driver of format. That we see so prefer to be in a fast car and compete for a position in the top ranking, then nagelbijtend and stiff because of the caffeine in the pits in the Toro Rosso. Jos himself claims, however, more fun to experience the heart-pounding performances of son Max.

Also find Jos the career of junior more important than that of himself and thinks he is here and there useful advice and tips to be able to give. Our opinion: let the lad it yourself to find out and go for that first place on the Circuit de la Sarthe! To say that he will be there in 2017 is indeed the case, if the opportunity occurs and there is no overlap with the Formula 1 calendar.

Incidentally, reed Jos in 2009 in Le Mans, unfortunately with little success. He finished with a Lola/Aston Martin at the 13th place in the LMP1 class.
