Your Racing Fix on Sky Sports: Alternative Motorsport Events in April

While Formula 1 takes a break, Sky Sports F1 has an exciting lineup of live motorsport events to fill the void in April. With no F1 action this month, tune in for thrilling racing from various categories, including the GT World Challenge Europe season and the Nurburgring Endurance Series, on both TV and YouTube channels. The first weekend of April features the GT World Challenge Europe season opener, where Aston Martin F1 driver Lance Stroll makes his debut, and the latest round from the Nurburgring Endurance Series. Later in the month, catch the IndyCar season's latest round, historic racing from Goodwood and Monaco, and more. Stroll follows in Max Verstappen's footsteps by making his GT racing debut at the GT World Challenge Europe at Paul Ricard, teaming up with Roberto Merhi and Mari Boya in an Aston Martin Vantage. Meanwhile, Verstappen's own Verstappen Racing team is in action, with Stroll revealing he sought the Dutchman's recent endurance racing experience. The weekend includes live coverage of support events at Paul Ricard, including GT3, GT4, and Lamborghini series, and the Nurburgring Endurance Series on the Sky Sports F1 YouTube channel. Coverage of the 2026 IndyCar Series continues with round five from Long Beach in California, featuring practice, qualifying, warm-up, and the race itself. As preparations ramp up for the 24-hour race in May, there's an NLS double header from the Nurburgring, with Verstappen returning alongside Lucas Auer in their Red Bull-liveried Mercedes GT3 car. Don't miss coverage from the 83rd Goodwood Members' Meeting, featuring 13 races in historic machinery, demonstration laps from Jenson Button, and a tribute to James Hunt. The following week, get set for F1's return with historic racing from Monaco, featuring cars from the pre-war Grand Prix era to the mid-1980s.
