If you missed the live stream of Red Bull’s wildly entertaining “Max vs. 100” event (or simply didn’t want to get a Disney+ subscription to watch it) there’s great news for motorsport fans. A solid 20-minute race summary has been uploaded to YouTube, giving everyone free access to all the highlights of four-time Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen cutting through a massive field of karts.
What Was “Max vs. 100”?
The spectacle saw Verstappen step back into his karting roots at a purpose-built track at Silverstone, taking on a packed grid of 101 go-karts. Starting from the very back, Verstappen’s objective was simple yet chaotic: pass 100 competitors before the checkered flag.
The 100-driver field featured an entertaining mix of rivals:
- Red Bull Endorsed Athletes: Competitors across extreme and endurance sports, including ultrarunner Arda Saatçi and freestyle mountain biker Matt Jones.
- Celebrities & Content Creators: Popular streamers and media personalities.
- Everyday Fans: Motorsport enthusiasts selected to battle an F1 legend.
Adding to the broadcast’s charm, the production featured two-way radio communication between Verstappen and the other drivers for real-time banter, hosted by comedian Mo Gilligan, along with gaming-style graphics, cinematic drone coverage, and live telemetry.
Want More Action?
If watching Max weave through 100 amateurs whets your appetite for top-tier racing, you won’t have to wait long to see him battle actual Formula 1 drivers.
The Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia is happening this weekend (October 2–4). Be sure to tune in as Verstappen trades in the go-kart for his Red Bull F1 car!
