Sparco has announced its partnership with Verstappen.com Racing, the official racing program developed by four-time world champion Max Verstappen.
Born from the passion for racing of its founder, Max Verstappen, the Verstappen.com Racing project focuses on the development of drivers in motorsport. The project combines both virtual racing and real-world racing with programs in GT3 racing, Rallying, and Sim Racing.
The core initiative is to build a foundation to support racing talents on their journey to success, a commitment perfectly aligned with Sparco's values.
Verstappen.com Racing will officially debut in the GT World Challenge Series at the first round of the season at Paul Ricard, April 11-13. Behind the wheel of the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo, drivers Thierry Vermeulen, Chris Lulham and Harry King will make their first appearance in Sparco technical racewear, which was specifically designed for maximum performance on the track, through highly innovative materials that ensure comfort, safety and durability.
Developed from the experience and feedback from professional drivers, the homologated racewear chosen by the Verstappen.com Racing team was designed to improve comfort and maximise driver performance through proper body thermoregulation, which is an essential feature for endurance races, especially in locations with very high temperatures. The drivers will be using: “Prime” suit, “Prime EVO” shoes, “Arrow+” gloves, “RW10” underwear and the thermal “Cooling Vest”. The team mechanics will be using the newest technical apparel which includes the “Fast” model of homologated crew shoes, designed to ensure maximum strength, breathability and optimize grip for traction in fast pit stops.
The special team livery has been the inspiration for the “Racewear” designs. This includes the combination of Sparco and Verstappen.com Racing logos carefully placed on each garment as well as a dynamic design inspired by the race car’s livery, featuring bright red graphics on a navy-blue background.
The same design inspiration has been applied to the new “Teamwear” and “Workwear” line. The Verstappen.com Racing crew and team members will be using both lines on and off the track.
“We are excited to be combine our brand with such a high-quality project, backed up by the immense experience of Max Verstappen”, said Diego Lamura, Sparco CMO and Global Partnerships. “For our brand, always committed to young motorsport talents, it’s incredibly inspiring to see a champion like Max Verstappen turning his genuine passion for racing into a concrete initiative – sharing his racing knowledge with teams and drivers.”
