Overview
- Red Bull has confirmed the event 'Max vs 100' for 16 September 2026 at Silverstone in which Verstappen will start from the back and try to pass 100 other karts on a specially built temporary circuit.
- Organizers say the race will be broadcast live on Disney+ and ESPN with heavy production elements including video-game-style on-screen graphics, drone cinematography and staged radio access for Verstappen.
- Former driver David Terrien designed the layout and will serve as race director for the one-off course that blends faster and slower sections to highlight overtaking skills.
- A test run with about 50 karts was completed and simracer Sebastian Job warned that overtaking such a large field in the allotted time will be extremely difficult, underscoring the event’s sporting challenge.
- Red Bull has released a partial roster mixing athletes, streamers and fans — including Arda Saatçi, Chris Matthews, Matt Jones, TheGrefg, Caedrel and TheDonato — as part of a strategy to merge motorsport credibility with mass-entertainment reach.
