As every year, the month of June offers motorsport enthusiasts a spectacular double feature: two legendary races, two monuments of endurance racing, two unmissable events. The 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Spa are once again set to bring together the world’s top manufacturers, the best drivers, and millions of fans from across the globe.

Le Mans: The Legend

The Semaine Sarthoise will kick off the festivities with the traditional Scrutineering in Place de la République in Le Mans – a symbolic first meeting between the public and the competitors of this 93rd edition. This emblematic event marks the start of an intense week that will culminate on Sunday, June 15 at 4 p.m., after 24 hours of racing. During that time, teams will face a true marathon – filled with emotion both on and off the track. Beyond the practice sessions and qualifying rounds, the week’s highlights will include the car parade in town, the traditional autograph session at the circuit, and of course, the iconic driver parade through the streets of Le Mans – a unique moment of connection between fans and their heroes.

Ferrari Eyes a Historic Triple, the Pack Is Ready to Hunt

Winners in 2023 and 2024, Ferrari enters this 2025 edition as the favorite. Backed by its Hypercars and a strong start to the season, the Italian marque now dreams of a historic triple win. But it won’t be easy in such a competitive field. Standing against the Scuderia, the giants of endurance racing are sharpening their weapons. Toyota, the undisputed reference of recent years, aims to reclaim the crown. Porsche, the most successful brand in Le Mans history, seeks a 20th overall victory. BMW, Cadillac, Peugeot, Alpine, and Aston Martin round out a spectacular Hypercar grid, symbolizing the sport’s revival.

LMP2 & LMGT3: Thrills at Every Level

In the LMP2 and LMGT3 categories, the excitement promises to be just as intense. In LMP2, the best private teams will take the start. In this single-make class, only driver skill and team strategy will make the difference. LMGT3 will also deliver a show, with a prestigious and competitive grid. Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes-AMG, Corvette, and McLaren will battle for glory.

Beyond the prestige, this 93rd edition could prove decisive in the world title race, reshaping the overall championship standings.

Spa: The GT World Gathers

After celebrating its centenary in 2024, the 24 Hours of Spa returns stronger than ever for a historic 77th edition. From June 25 to 29, 2025, the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit will welcome a record 76 GT3 entries – proof of the ever-growing appeal of this Belgian race, widely regarded as the greatest GT race in the world. Ten manufacturers will be represented this year, including the notable debut of Corvette, joining an already impressive lineup of Mercedes-AMG, BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Audi, Lamborghini, McLaren, and Ford. The cars will compete across five classes: Pro, Gold Cup, Silver Cup, Bronze Cup, and Pro-Am – showcasing a wide range of talent and experience.

Before taking on the legendary corners of Eau Rouge and Raidillon, the 280 drivers will meet fans during the traditional city parade – a unique moment of connection in the heart of Spa, now a beloved tradition.

Two Races, One Spirit

Le Mans and Spa share the same DNA: passion, performance, and a deeply human dimension. Two legendary circuits, two unique atmospheres, two events that celebrate not just technology and competition, but also the bond between drivers, teams, and fans. MPS Agency will be present to cover both events with photo galleries and archives. Stay tuned to follow all the action on Endurance InfoEndurance 24Endurance Live, and Sportscar 365
