Press release: Prototype Winter Series – The ultimate sportscar racing prologue

LMP3 racing made a welcome addition to the 2024 suite of GEDLICH Racing Winter Series categories, adding a thunderous V8 soundtrack and even more intense racing action to the events. The second season of the Prototype Winter Series will once again feature leading LMP3 teams competing across four rounds.

The outgoing second-generation LMP3 cars will lead the field, while first-generation cars will also be included within their own ‘Gen 1’ class. The 5.0 and 5.6-litre V8 prototypes will bring the roar to Portugal and Spain.

There are two 50-minute races per Prototype Winter Series weekend. There are mandatory pitstops, with the length of time spent in the pits depending on the calibre of the driver line-up. This creates heart-pumping races to the chequered flag whenever the PTWS cars are on-track.

The calendar will begin on 16-19 January at Estoril, followed by a trip to Portimão on the 23-26 January. The series, organised with the blessing of the ACO, will then take a break as the Asian Le Mans Series comes to an end during February. The final two rounds of the season will take place from 27 February-2 March at Aragon, followed by the season finale at Barcelona from 6-9 March.

2024 frontrunners Konrad Motorsport and Rinaldi Racing will be joined by other renowned teams in the world of sportscar racing. This includes CLX Motorsport (Cool Racing), DKR Engineering and Racing Spirit of Leman. The PTWS grid is expected to feature 10 to 15 cars, with a split of Duqueine D08s and Ligier JSP320s running on Michelin rubber.

As is the case with every Winter Series grid, every moment of racing will be broadcast live on YouTube. Experienced voices such as Andy McEwen, Isi Browning, Andy Mather and Adam Weller will provide insight and reaction during the broadcast, produced by Alpha Live.

The 2025 Prototype Winter Series promises to once again deliver action in spades. Exciting driver line-ups will be announced by the teams PTWS in the weeks leading up to the first race.
