Gennep, Netherlands (19 September 2025):
Six months since the action-packed 2025 Michelin 24H SERIES European Series got underway in style at Mugello in Italy, the hotly anticipated season finale is mere days away – and what a championship finale we have in store at next weekend’s Michelin 24H BARCELONA.

Always spectacular, always dramatic and consistently delivering the very best in endurance racing action, the drivers and teams of the Michelin 24H SERIES are primed for a nail-biting conclusion to the campaign with several championship battles very finely poised. 

Even more excitement and intrigue for the finale on 27/28 September will come from the fact points will be scored at the halfway point of the race, at 12 hours obviously, as well as when the chequered flag falls next Sunday. Additionally a team’s lowest score of the season, or a non-start, will be dropped and so an entry’s four best results at most will be counted as their championship total.

In the headline GT3 class, current leaders Proton Huber Competition go into the twice-round-the-clock encounter just six points clear with drivers Manuel Lauck, Klaus Bachler, Jorg Dreisow and Constantin Dressler piloting the No.73 Porsche 911 GT3 R (992).

Red Ant Racing are next up in the overall title battle and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 squad will be challenging with its regular four-driver squad, brothers Ayrton and Yannick Redant, Kobe de Breucker and Kenneth Heyer.  

The highest placed of the Ferrari 296 GT3 entries is Scuderia Praha, third in GT3 and just two points behind Red Ant Racing. Praha has confirmed its usual driver combination of Josef Kral, Dennis Waszek, Miroslav Vyboh and his son Matus. 

Era Motorsport’s Ferrari 296 GT3 is presently fourth in the championship, 12 points adrift of the similar machine of Praha, and the squad has confirmed five drivers for the Michelin 24H BARCELONA with Dwight Merriman, Kyle Tilley, Oliver Bryant, Ryan Dalziel and Jake Hill. In the GT3 PRO-AM title fight, Proton Huber lead Praha and Era with 16 points covering all three.

Next in the overall GT3 title battle are Audi R8 LM3 GT3 EVO II teams Juta Racing and Continental Racing by Simpson Motorsport, currently 10 points apart. Juta’s car will be raced by Arunas Geciauskas, Nicola Michelon, Lars Viljoen, Gavin Pickering and Zhang Yaqi. The Continental Audi will be piloted by Andrey Solukovtsev, Vasily Vladykin, David Pogosian, Sacha Kakad and Alex Arkin Aka.

Just outside the top six in GT3 are a pair of Mercedes-AMG GT3 entries, HOFOR Racing and Viper Niza Racing. HOFOR’s line-up features husband and wife Alexander and Chantal Prinz, Chantal’s father Michael Kroll, Maximilian Partl and Torsten Kratz, while Viper Niza’s regular trio of Douglas Khoo, Dominic Ang and Melvin Moh are joined in Spain by Afiq Yazid and Aaron Lim.

TFT Racing returns after making its first appearance of the season last time out at Paul Ricard, and the team’s Mercedes-AMG GT3 will feature Patrick Charlaix, Benjamin Paque, Jordan Boisson and Maro Engel. More Mercedes-AMG power arrives courtesy of GetSpeed Performance with drivers Jon Hirshberg, Andres Latorre, Adam Osieka, Yaroslav Veselaho and Patrick Liddy.

Aston Martin Vantage GT3 squad E2P Racing will challenge on home ground in Spain with Pablo Burguera, Antonio Sainero, Oliver Campos and Javier Morcillo, with HAAS RT’s Audi presently confirmed with three drivers, father and son Peter and Nicolas Guelinckx, and Matisse Lismont. 

Another returnee to Michelin 24H SERIES action is Into Africa Racing by Dragon, whose Ferrari 296 GT3 will be raced by Axcil Jefferies, Stuart White, Arnold Neveling and Xollie Letlaka. Likewise, Sainteloc Junior Team is back with an Audi R8 LMS GT3 EVO II raced by Michael Doppelmayr, Pierre Kaffer, Elia Erhart, Ernst Inderbitzin and Stephane Tribaudini. 

As in GT3, the title fight in the 992 class for Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) cars is very close and going into the finale the Red Camel-Jordans.nl team of brothers Rik and Luc Breukers, their father Ivo and Fabian Danz holds a six point lead over RPM Racing’s Tracy Krohn, Niclas Jonsson, Philip Hamprecht and Patrick Huisman. RPM, meanwhile, lead the 992 AM class with three wins from four so far.

Third in the outright 992 championship, another 10 points adrift, is Holmgaard Motorsport which will be represented by brothers Magnus and Jonas Holmgaard, Martin Vedel Mortensen, Patrick Steen Rasmussen and Marco Gersager. 

Outside the top three things are still tight, and especially so when considering points will be scored at the 12-hour halfway juncture as well as at the chequered flag. SebLajoux Racing leads the chasing pack and the No.888 car will be raced by the eponymous Sebastien Lajoux, Stephane Perrin, Paul Meijer, Mathieu Detry and Fabian Duffieux. The team is also set to field a second Porsche.

Muhlner Motorsport’s No.921 entry currently has three confirmed drivers, Martin Rump, Valters Zviedris and Julian Hanses, while Ajith Kumar Racing by Red Ant will field the famous Tamil cinema ‘Kollywood’ actor Ajith Kumar himself, Ralph Poppelaars, Cameron McLeod and Gregory Servais.

Spain’s very own Escuderia Faraon enters Pablo Bras Silvero, Pedro Miguel Lourinho Bras and Fernando Gonzalez Gonzalez, HRT Performance’s line-up features Steven Gambrell, Jonathan Kearney, Rolando Saca and Igor Sorokin and GP Racing Team will field Loic Teire, Cyril Saleilles, Michael Blanchemain and Jerome Da Costa. Speed Lover, meanwhile, is yet to name its drivers.

The GT4 class has been dominated this year by the Venture team’s Mercedes-AMG GT4, with three victories taken thus far, but there will be some stern competition in the Michelin 24H BARCELONA for the line-up of father and son Neville and Christopher Jones, Matthew George and, newcomer to the squad, vastly experienced GT campaigner Andrew Howard.

Team Sorg Rennsport makes only its second appearance of the season with its No.427 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, to be driven by Marc Girard, Thierry Chkondali, Michel Sallenbach and Damon Surzyshyn. Another Mercedes-AMG GT4 is entered by Spanish squad NM Racing, drivers Keith Gatehouse and Jorge Belloc Ruiz named so far.

Vortex V8 has been head and shoulders above the competition in terms of GTX results with three wins from four races across its two lead cars. For next weekend the squad enters the points leading No.701 Vortex V8 of Lionel Amrouche, Philippe Bonnel, Cyril Calmon and Gilles Courtois. The second car, No.974, features Solenn Amrouche, Julien Boillot, Yoann Olivar and Arnaud Tsamere.

For the first time since the visit to Spa in April the TCE-TCX class will be back in force. AsBest Racing is bringing a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport and its Cupra TCR DSG, with the line-up for the former including Junichi Umemoto and Pia Ohlsson, the latter’s drivers are still to be confirmed.

BMW M3 (E46) squad J-Mec Engineering will mount a bid with James Collins, Kevin Clarke, Oliver Smith and Steve Cheetham, and Michelin 24H SERIES newcomers THRW Honda Racing have entered two Honda Civic Type R (FL5) cars. 

The team, all the way from the USA, has confirmed the No.123 entry will feature Weston Walter, Derek Ferretti, Corey Taguchi and Christian Hernandez while the sister No.124 car will be raced by Lawrence Hwang, Todd Chiappino, Jeremy Lucas and Scott Nicol.

All of the build-up to the season’s blue riband event begins with Creventic Track Day sessions on Wednesday, 24 September, and Thursday, 25 September. Private testing and official free practice follow on Friday, 26 September, ahead of qualifying which begins at 16.30 local time. Three sessions will be held for the 992, GTX, GT4 and TCE-TCX cars and three more exclusively for the GT3 cars.
