2025 WEC LMGT3 Season Set for Intense Competition
Summary
The 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season for the LMGT3 category is set to be fiercely competitive, marked by significant team and driver changes. The dominant Porsche team, which excelled in the inaugural season, will face stiffer competition with new entrants like Mercedes-AMG joining, while Lamborghini's exit opens opportunities for other teams. Aston Martin's Heart of Racing and Racing Spirit of Léman will each field Vantage AMRs, while BMW introduces two new EVO-spec M4 GT3s. With Pure Rxcing not returning to defend its title, a new champion is guaranteed.
Veteran driver Ben Keating makes a full-time comeback with TF Sport and Corvette, bringing valuable experience along with a fresh lineup. United Autosports aims to build on last year’s success by adding 2023 British GT champion Darren Leung to their roster, while BMW remains formidable with accomplished drivers like 2024 Le Mans winner Yasser Shahin. The incorporation of Goodyear's Medium Plus tire compound may further shape the competitive landscape. Alongside established teams like Manthey and Heart of Racing, the 2025 season is poised for intense battles as squads strive for supremacy in this dynamic arena.
