Lance Stroll is set for a run-out in April at Paul Ricard for Aston Martin.

Lance Stroll is set for a run-out in April at Paul Ricard for Aston Martin.

Lance Stroll is to compete in the opening round of the GT World Challenge Europe at Paul Ricard in a GT3 Aston Martin Vantage.

Aston Martin is fielding seven cars of the 60-strong field, with F1 driver Stroll in the Pro class for Comtoyou Racing's 4.0 litre V8-powered machine. 

Stroll will be joined by Roberto Merhi and Aston Martin academy driver Mari Boya in the project, which kicks off with the Prologue at the former French Grand Prix venue on Wednesday, 8th April.

The race itself takes place on Saturday, 11th April. 

Comtoyou Racing delivered Aston Martin's first victory in the modern GT era at the 2024 Spa Hours, and also scooped the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Silver Cup title in 2025.
