Max Verstappen is taking on an unusual grid at Silverstone: 100 drivers at once in \u201cMax vs 100,\u201d a new live motorsport event coming to Disney+ Philippines<\/a> at 12:00 a.m. on September 17.<\/p>\n

Created by Disney+ and Red Bull, the event will see the four-time Formula 1 World Champion attempt to fight through a field of 100 competitors in a purpose-built karting circuit at the iconic British track.<\/p>\n

The lineup brings together Red Bull athletes, esports and gaming personalities, streamers, content creators, media figures, and fans from around the world.<\/p>\n

Verstappen goes back to his karting roots<\/h4>\n

\u201cMax vs 100\u201d takes inspiration from the format that shaped Verstappen\u2019s early racing career: starting at the back and overtaking his way through the field.<\/p>\n

This time, however, the challenge is significantly larger, with 100 competitors occupying the grid ahead of him.<\/p>\n

For Verstappen, the event also marks a return to karting, the discipline where he developed the racecraft that eventually took him to Formula 1 championships.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn go-karts you learn all the basics: starts, defending, overtaking,\u201d Verstappen said. \u201cI\u2019ve done so many years in go-karting that you quite naturally get back into things.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

100 drivers from sports, gaming, and entertainment<\/h4>\n

The 100 competitors will come from different parts of sports and online entertainment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The grid includes Red Bull athletes such as ultrarunner Arda Saat\u00e7i, basketball shooting specialist Chris \u201cLethal Shooter\u201d Matthews, and freestyle mountain biker Matt Jones.<\/p>\n

Gaming and streaming personalities including TheGrefg, Caedrel, and TheDonato will also take part, alongside creators, media personalities, and other invited competitors.<\/p>\n

The format puts Verstappen’s racing ability against an intentionally unpredictable field, creating a race where sheer numbers could make overtaking considerably more difficult.<\/p>\n

Silverstone gets a new 101-kart circuit<\/h4>\n

The event will take place at Silverstone, but the circuit used for \u201cMax vs 100\u201d has been specifically built for the challenge.<\/p>\n

Race director and French racing driver David Terrien, a former youth karting world champion and kart designer, designed the circuit to accommodate 101 karts simultaneously.<\/p>\n

That setup allows the event to stage its unusual one-versus-100 format on a single grid.<\/p>\n

Live broadcast adds game-style presentation<\/h4>\n

\u201cMax vs 100\u201d will also use a broadcast format designed to make the race easier to follow despite the unusually large field.<\/p>\n

The production, handled by sports and entertainment company Whisper, will combine live race data, on-screen insights, game-inspired graphics, and cinematic drone footage.<\/p>\n

One of the event’s more unusual elements will see Verstappen communicate directly with competitors during the race, giving viewers access to conversations that could influence what happens on track.<\/p>\n

British comedian Mo Gilligan, a three-time BAFTA winner, will lead the live broadcast alongside the event’s wider presenting and commentary team.<\/p>\n

How to watch Max vs 100 in the Philippines<\/h4>\n

For Filipino viewers, \u201cMax vs 100\u201d will stream live on Disney+ Philippines<\/a> at 12:00 a.m. on September 17.<\/p>\n

The event represents another move by Disney+ into live sports and entertainment programming, while giving Red Bull another way to bring motorsport to audiences outside the traditional Formula 1 race weekend.<\/p>\n

For Verstappen, meanwhile, the challenge returns him to the karts that formed the foundation of his racing career\u2014only this time with 100 drivers standing between him and the finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
