Press release: GT4 Winter Series – Action-packed competition for GT4 cars

In less than a month’s time, the sophomore season of the GT4 Winter Series will begin at the famed Circuito Estoril in Portugal.
After a thrilling inaugural championship battle in 2024, the SRO-licensed GT4 Winter Series will once again welcome some of the most exciting teams and talents from GT4 competition across Europe. The 2024 series was a showcase of the competition level that exists in the GT4 category, and the 2025 edition of GEDLICH Racing’s GT4 Winter Series will see an even greater breadth of elite international competitors.

As was the case in 2024, there will be PRO, PRO-AM and AM classes for driver line-ups of differing rankings, alongside the Cayman Trophy class for the slightly more production-based Porsche Cayman GT4 CS. These four classes will be joined by the new-for-2025 ‘Club’ class, for older GT4 machinery with expired homologations.

SR Motorsport will once again join the GT4 Winter Series grid, fielding four cars across two categories. As one of the 2024 frontrunners, the Niederzissen-based outfit will be the benchmark for other renowned German teams, including BWT Mücke Motorsport, FK Performance and W&S Motorsport. UK-based teams like SVG Motorsport, Century Motorsport will also be a prominent part of the grid, and the overall feeling of the paddock will be pan-European. The 2025 GT4 Winter Series is expected to have varied grids with 20 to 30 cars depending on the circuit and round.

Three races will be contested on each of the five GT4 Winter Series weekends: Two 30-minute sprint races, in addition to a 60-minute endurance with a mandatory pitstop. Estoril hosts the first round of the season, on 16-19 January. Just one week later, the second round will be held at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão.

The Spanish leg of the season begins at Valencia’s Circuit Ricardo Tormo on 13-16 February, followed by a pair of consecutive events held at Aragon (27 February-2 March) and the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya Barcelona (6-9 March).

For teams, access to support will be simple. For instance, teams running GT4 or CS-spec Porsche Caymans can call upon Manthey Racing for support, spares and expertise. For Mercedes-AMG and BMW M Motorsport teams, HWA and BMW M support trucks will be on-site to lend a helping hand.

The fan experience is of the utmost importance to GEDLICH Racing, and GT4 Winter Series fans will be able to follow every moment of the action live. Every race will be streamed on the Winter Series YouTube channel in collaboration with broadcast experts Alpha Live, with familiar presenting and commentating talent including Isi Browning, Andrew Mather, Andy McEwen and Adam Weller.

In addition, access to the circuit during Winter Series weekends is typically free, with the only exception being the final events at Barcelona. Whether you are in the grandstands, watching at home or looking to take part, the GT4 Winter Series promises to be a perfect kick-off to the 2025 season!
