The 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup is the thirteenth season of the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup following on from the demise of the SRO Motorsports Group's FIA GT1 World Championship (an auto racing series for grand tourer cars).

The season will begin on 4 May at Brands Hatch, and will end on 21 September at Circuit Ricardo Tormo.

Calendar

The calendar was released on 28 July 2024 at the SRO's annual 24 Hours of Spa press conference, featuring five rounds. [1] There are two changes from last year, with Circuit Zandvoort and Circuit Ricardo Tormo replacing Hockenheimring and Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Notes

  1. 1 2 Ekelchik is Russian, but he competes as a neutral competitor as Russian national emblems were banned by the FIA following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Salikhov, also a Russian, competes under an Armenian licence for the same reason.
