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.
