The 2025 Ultimate Cup European Series is the seventh season of the Ultimate Cup European Series. It started at Circuit Paul Ricard on 28 March and will end at the same venue on 9 November.[1] The Ultimate Cup Series is a program comprising multiple endurance and sprint championships across different classes of motor racing.
The 2025 calendar was announced on 11 October 2024. The series will not return to the Hockenheimring, instead opting to race at Motorland Aragón for the first time in its history. A pre-season test was also held on 27–28 February at Paul Ricard.[1]
The European Endurance Prototype Cup is only open to Nova Proto NP02 cars in 2025, a significant change compared to prior years. A separate Bronze Cup for drivers with an FIA Bronze rating was also newly introduced.[2]
The LMP3 cars previously racing in the European Endurance Prototype Cup are scheduled to be placed in their own category in 2025, currently known under the pseudonym "Project 2025".[8] These plans would see drivers compete in three separate classes based on their FIA ratings: the Pro Cup for Platinum- and Gold-rated drivers, the Silver Cup for Silver-rated drivers and the Bronze Cup for Bronze-rated drivers.[2]
The Ultimate GT Endurance Cup iss open to GT3, GT4 and single-make series (Porsche Carrera Cup, Ferrari Challenge, Lamborghini Super Trofeo) cars.[13] Its number of different classes are reduced in 2025: drivers are competing in four classes numbered from UCS1 to UCS4, meaning the separate Porsche Cup and UCS Light classes were discontinued.[2]
The Ultimate GT-Sprint Cup is open to GT3, GT4 and single-make series (Porsche Carrera Cup, Ferrari Challenge, Lamborghini Super Trofeo) cars.[17] It consists of the same UCS1-UCS4 classes seen in the GT Endurance Cup, as well as separate classes for the Porsche Cup and the Ferrari Challenge.[2]
The Hoosier Formula Cup, formerly known as the Ultimate Formula Cup, is open to Tatuus F3R T318 cars powered by either Alfa Romeo or Renault engines on 13-inch Hoosier tyres. There are no longer any classes catering to Formula Renault or Formula 4 machinery.[2]
