The 2025 Le Mans Cup, known as the 2025 Michelin Le Mans Cup under sponsorship, will be the tenth season of the Le Mans Cup. The six-event series will begin at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on 5 April and conclude at Algarve International Circuit on 18 October. [1] The series is open to Le Mans Prototypes in the LMP3 class, now split into two, and grand tourer sports cars in the GT3 class. [2] The season will mark the debut of the new, third-generation LMP3 cars. [3]

Calendar

The provisional calendar for the 2025 season was announced on 2 October 2024. [1] Silverstone Circuit was added to the calendar for the first time, replacing the round at Mugello. Starting this season, the race duration will be extended from 1 hour and 50 minutes to 2 hours, except for the Silverstone round, which will keep its original length. The Road to Le Mans races will run for 1 hour instead of 55 minutes. [4]
