  • Team Redline rebranded to Verstappen Sim Racing
  • Sim racing squad set to continue with virtual-to-real driver development push

Four years on from launching his all-encompassing Verstappen.com Racing squad, Max Verstappen has formally absorbed sim racing outfit Team Redline into its stable.

Redline had previously spearheaded all of Verstappen.com’s sim racing activities, but has now been rebranded to Verstappen Sim Racing with immediate effect. The adjustment appears to be largely superficial, however, with no discernible changes to the team’s personnel or goals.

Team Redline was established in 2000 by Domino Duhan and has achieved consistent success since then across a variety of platforms, including the Esports World Cup (2024-25) and Le Mans Virtual Series (2021-23, multiple classes).

Four-time Formula 1 world champion Verstappen has been a passionate exponent of sim racing throughout his career and, in recent years, has made no secret of his ambition to help virtual racers enter motorsport. 

Virtual to real

Most famously, this has applied to Redline teammate Chris Lulham, who, with the help of funding from Verstappen, has forged an impressive career in sportscar racing, culminating in a 2025 24 Hours of Spa class win. For 2026, Lulham will again race in the GT World Challenge Europe series, partnering with Aston Martin F1 simulator driver Daniel Juncadella.

“Sim racing is a big passion of mine outside Formula 1, and Team Redline has been a big part of that,” stated Verstappen.  “It is where I spend a lot of my time off track, and part of what I am building with Verstappen Racing… We’re taking everything we’ve achieved and bringing it closer in line with the wider Verstappen Racing platform. I’ve always believed that sim racing can develop real talent, and we’re already seeing that with Chris Lulham,” he explained.

Despite a mixed weekend at the opening round of the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie, where Verstappen and co-drivers Juncadella and Jules Gounon dominated proceedings only to lose their race victory to a technical infringement, the Dutch superstar’s commitment to sim racing continues apace.
