GT Winter Series creates split GT3 class for 2025

Gedlich Racing’s GT Winter Series will introduce a GT3 and GT3 Pro split category for its sixth season of running in 2025.

GT2 and GT3 compete at the sharp end of the field, with Balance of Performance provided by SRO Motorsports Group.

For the first time, GT3 cars will be split into two classes: GT3 for teams with at least one bronze driver in its line-up, and GT3 Pro for teams exclusively comprised of drivers graded Silver or above, allowing teams and drivers to get up to speed during the winter in a relevant classification.

Additionally, there are four Cup classes, catering for Ferrari Challenge, Porsche Carrera Cup, McLaren Artura Trophy and Lamborghini Super Trofeo machinery. For the first time, all cars in the GT Winter Series will compete on Pirelli rubber.

In GT3 and GT3 Pro, confirmed teams include SSR Motorsport with a Porsche 992 GT3 R, Olimp Racing and its Ferrari 296 GT3s, Pellin Racing with their Ferrari 488 GT3 and a hand full of AMG GT3 Evos, fielded by CBRX by SPS Performance, BDR Competition by Grupoprom and last year’s team- and championship winners Schnitzelalm Racing by SR Motorsport.

Racing teams like PTT Racing, Plusline Racing Team and MS Racing will be seen fielding Porsche 992 GT3 Cup machinery in Cup 2, alongside Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo cars from teams like UNIQ Racing in Cup 4. Renowned teams like Greystone GT and MS Racing will enter McLaren Artura Trophy cars in Cup 3.

Three races will be contested on each of the five GT Winter Series weekends: Two 30-minute sprint races, in addition to a 55-minute endurance with a mandatory pitstop. The first weekend of action will take place at Estoril on 16-19 January and one week later, the second round will be held at Portimao. The Spanish leg of the season begins in Valencia on 13-16 February, followed by a pair of consecutive events at Aragon (27 February-2 March) and Barcelona on 6-9 March.

Fans will be able to follow every moment of the action live, as every race will be streamed on the Winter Series YouTube channel. In addition, access to the circuit during Winter Series weekends is free, with the only exception being the final events at Barcelona.
