Lance Stroll's GT Debut: F1 Star Races Aston Martin

0:00On April 2, Formula 1 driver Lance Stroh is jumping into his first GT race thanks to a gap in the F1 schedule. The 27-year-old Canadian will compete in the opening round of the GT World Challenge Europe at Paul Ricard on April 11th and 12th. He's piloting an Aston Martin Vantage, GT3 for the Come To You Racing Team. Stroh shares the car with X-Manor F1 driver Roberto Merhi and Formula 3 winner Mari Boya, making for a solid lineup. Fans are buzzing about this crossover, especially since Stroh brings real endurance chops from 2-day tone to 24-hour races back in the mid-2. 2010s, those runs were in prototype cars, so this marks his true GT debut. Before F1 with Williams and now Aston Martin, he raced the four-powered Riley DP in 2016 and in Orica 07 later on. That experience should help him adapt quick. With the F1 break giving him this shot, keep an eye on how Stroh stacks up in GT ranks.
