## Resource

Max Verstappen secured third place in the first qualifying session for the Nurburgring twenty-four Hours race, driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3. Despite a strong performance, he missed out on the top spot by a narrow margin. The race, which starts on Saturday, will see drivers competing for grid positions from fifty to one hundred sixty-one. The top qualifying session for pole and the front rows will take place on Friday. The first qualifying session was marked by falling lap times and yellow flags due to rain, with Verstappen setting the best time for his team with fifty-five minutes left. The second qualifying session will take place tonight at eight PM local time, offering another chance for drivers to secure a competitive position before the endurance race begins.
