With Formula 1 on a break until Miami, Sky Sports F1 and its YouTube channel will fill April with live motorsport across three busy weekends.
Paul Ricard opens the month (April 11-12) with the GT World Challenge Europe season. Aston Martin F1 driver Lance Stroll makes his GT debut, sharing an Aston Martin Vantage with former F1 racer Roberto Merhi and F2 driver Mari Boya in the six-hour day-to-night race that features around 60 cars. Max Verstappen won't be driving that weekend, but his Verstappen Racing team will be competing, and Stroll said he briefly discussed endurance racing with Verstappen in Suzuka, noting how much fun GT3 cars are.
Paul Ricard also includes GT3, GT4 and Lamborghini support series, and Sky Sports F1's YouTube channel will stream the latest Nurburgring Endurance Series (NLS) race on Saturday morning.
11.15am: Lamborghini Trophy Race Two
The following weekend (April 17-19) centres on IndyCar at Long Beach, California. Sky Sports F1 will cover practice, qualifying, warm-up and the race around the famous street circuit. The IndyCar season has seen four different polesitters and three different winners in its first four events.
Also that weekend the Nurburgring stages an NLS double-header as teams prepare for the 24-hour race in May; both NLS races will be streamed on YouTube. Max Verstappen returns to NLS alongside Lucas Auer in a Red Bull‑liveried Mercedes GT3 car. The 83rd Goodwood Members' Meeting is on the bill too, with 13 races for historic cars, demonstration laps including Jenson Button in his 2009 Brawn, and a tribute marking 50 years since James Hunt's 1976 title.
10.30pm: IndyCar Long Beach Race
The final weekend in April (April 25-26) features the Monaco Historique, with historic racing spanning pre-war Grand Prix machinery through to mid-1980s cars on the iconic Monaco street circuit.
6.55am (TBC): Monaco Historique Day Two
Formula 1 returns May 1-3 with the Miami Grand Prix, the season's second Sprint weekend, broadcast live on Sky Sports F1.
