Why Lance Stroll thinks winning is possible on his GT racing debut
Lance Stroll is confident in his chances of reaching the top step of the podium in his debut at the GT World Challenge this weekend.
Stroll’s decision to participate outside of the Formula 1 world championship during the unplanned break was inspired by a discussion in Suzuka, where he quickly organized his entry with Comtoyou Racing.
Driving an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO, Stroll will race at Paul Ricard alongside Roberto Merhi and Mari Boya, setting his sights on a podium finish that is more elusive in F1.
Stroll, after a decade-long absence from GT cars, found the experience refreshing due to the competitive field and the opportunity for victory if everything aligns perfectly.
Less media attention in GT racing allows Stroll to focus more on driving and working closely with the team, leading him to consider participating in more races beyond this weekend’s event.
