DNS CNAME redirected you too many times.
I am testing out something.
For this test i want to load in the site
https://motorsport.junius.be/ but keep the domain as https://grandprixpixels.wout-junius.dev
I setup a CNAME record whit name grandprixpixels and content www.motorsport.junius.be.
Now as a result i get grandprixpixels.wout-junius.dev redirected you too many times..
In the network tab of dev tools i see it keeps redirecting to itself (https://grandprixpixels.wout-junius.dev)
Is this the way to do it?

A CNAME wouldn't achieve that unless the web server on the other end is configured to accept requests with the host header of
grandprixpixels.wout-junius.dev (or not configured to do any host header validation). CNAMEs are "look over here for the record result", in the context of websites a/aaaa records, you can think of them like "Ask the same server as the website here for a response".
In the network tab of dev tools i see it keeps redirecting to itself (https://grandprixpixels.wout-junius.dev)This is usually caused by your SSL/TLS mode being set to Flexible, under SSL/TLS -> Overview you can change this to Full (Strict)
