• Circuit Paul Ricard to open 2025 campaign with six-hour race on Saturday 12 April
• Season finale at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya becomes Endurance Cup round
• Magny-Cours confirmed as third stop on Sprint Cup schedule
The 2025 Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS season will launch with a six-hour race at Circuit Paul Ricard, while a deciding Endurance Cup contest at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and a return to Magny-Cours have also been confirmed.
Circuit Paul Ricard maintains its place at the head of the calendar on 11–13 April and will reprise the popular weekend format used between 2015 and 2023, with the action set to run from daylight into darkness on Saturday evening. This will mark the first time that the Fanatec GT Europe season has launched with a six-hour contest.
Thereafter the Sprint Cup will get underway with rounds at Brand Hatch (3/4 May) and Zandvoort (16–18 May), the latter returning to the calendar after a one-year absence. Monza will host the second stop on the Endurance tour (30 May–1 June), while the marquee CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa tackles its 77th edition on 26–29 June.
Misano stages its annual Sprint Cup contest on 18-20 July, followed by a return to Magny-Cours on 1–3 August. The French event will run three weeks earlier than in 2024 and is the only addition to the provisional schedule announced during Stéphane Ratel's press conference at the centenary CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.
The Nürburgring hosts an Endurance Cup contest on 29–31 August, while Circuit Ricardo Tormo Valencia will welcome back the Sprint Cup over the weekend of 19–21 September. The 4km track was previously part of the schedule between 2021 and 2023 and will also stage this year’s FIA Motorsport Games.
Fanatec GT Europe remains in Spain for its concluding round, which takes place at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on 10–12 October. With the addition of Magny-Cours as a Sprint Cup event, the 4.7km venue will bring the curtain down on the season with a three-hour Endurance Cup contest. Barcelona has previously hosted the finale on six occasions, most recently in 2022.
As well as the competitive action, the traditional pre-season Prologue will take place at Circuit Paul Ricard on 10/11 March, while the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa Prologue is set for 13/14 May.
