Watch Lance Stroll take on Max Verstappen’s team in GT3 here

This Saturday, the first round of the GT World Challenge Europe series takes place at the Circuit Paul Ricard.

Aston Martin's Stroll will be joined by Formula 2 driver Mari Boya and former Formula 1 driver Roberto Merhi. They will compete with an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO this Saturday, driving for Comtoyou Racing.

They have the chance to take part after the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix.

Verstappen.com Racing will also be in action at the French circuit. Daniel Juncadella, Jules Gounon and Chris Lulham will drive for the four-time F1 world champion's team today.

Charles Leclerc's brother, Arthur, will drive for the AF Corse team and will use a Ferrari 296 GT3 EVO.

Verstappen will not drive in NLS3 this weekend, as his team is in France. The Dutchman will return to the Nordschleife next weekend, where together with Lucas Auer, he will drive in the ADAC 24h Nurburgring Qualifiers. Watch NLS3 live with GPblog here!

Stroll also spoke with Verstappen before this opportunity. "Briefly, in Suzuka, when I had the idea," Stroll said.
