Billy Bolt is one of the best enduro riders today, having won the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship every season since 2019. Meanwhile, Pol Tarrés is Yamaha’s ace rally raider who has starred in rallies like the Africa Eco Race.

On September 16, the two will trade in their bikes for go-karts when they compete in Max vs. 100. Held at Silverstone Circuit, the challenge requires Formula One star Max Verstappen to start last and overtake 100 drivers from varying backgrounds, ranging from influencers to fellow Red Bull athletes, within 30 laps. Each driver he passes is removed from the field until one driver remains. All 101 will be in identically-prepared karts.

To make things easier against one of the world’s best drivers, the 100 will be allowed to take a joker lap each during the first 15 laps. Verstappen also has a joker lap that he can’t use until Lap 16 onward.

“It’s going to be quite hectic trying to race 100 people will be very tough,” Vestappen commented. “I haven’t driven a lot of go-karting over the last few years, naturally, because of F1 and my GT racing. It’s always fun to go back and have a good time.”

Even if two wheels is his forté, Tarrés is no stranger to four. Since 2023, he and Marc Valverde have been competing in the Catalan rally championship in a BMW 130i E87.

Of course, karting is a pavement discipline unlike rallying, enduro, and cross-country.

Letícia Bufoni is one of the handful in the hundred with asphalt and off-road experience. The X Games skateboarding star won the 2023 NORRA 500 in Stock Production alongside Chris Forsberg and competed in Nitrocross SxS before going to Porsche Cup Brazil.

Max vs. 100 will be livestreamed on Disney+ and the ESPN App.
