There won’t be a race in Formula 1 this month, but there’s plenty to enjoy outside of that. RacingNews365 lists the action for you.
April is an unusual month for Formula 1 fans this year due to no action from the pinnacle of motorsport, as the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grands Prix were cancelled because of the conflict in the Middle East.
The next race on the F1 calendar is the Miami Grand Prix in early May, but there are still plenty of international motorsport events to enjoy throughout April.
The cancellation of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has allowed Max Verstappen to participate in the qualifying races before his Nürburgring 24 Hours debut in May, coinciding with the World Endurance Championship (WEC) opening round.
The WEC schedule was impacted by events in the Middle East, moving the season opener to Imola from Qatar. Before the Nürburgring 24 Hours qualifying races and WEC round, GT fans can enjoy the GT World Challenge Europe season beginning at Circuit Paul Ricard on April 11.
In a packed weekend on April 18–19, fans can also catch the fifth round of the IndyCar season at Long Beach, where IndyCar shares the venue with the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship for its third round.
MotoGP enthusiasts can look forward to the fourth round of the season at Jerez in Spain on April 25–26, marking the start of the European leg.
Despite Formula E not hosting a race in April, it is a significant month for the sport as it officially launches its Gen4 car, expected to draw attention from F1 fans and the motorsport world in general.
