Speedway Europameisterschaft

2025 GT World Challenge Australia

The 2025 GT World Challenge Australia Powered by AWS is an Australian motor sport competition for GT3 cars. This will be the second season since the SRO Motorsports Group took over sole management of the series. The season will start at Philip Island on the 4–6 April and finish at Hampton Downs in New Zealand on October 31–November 2.

Calendar

The provisional six-round calendar was announced at the 2024 SRO Press conference at the 24 Hours of Spa. For the first time the series will have a media day at Phillip Island.[1] On 18 October, the calendar was updated, in which the Queensland round was shifted to June and the championship will return to Sandown Raceway after 3 years.[2]

Unlike previous years where most race weekends were run by another promoter as part of the SpeedSeries event series, in 2025 SRO has taken over as event promoter as well as category promoter.[3] Other categories at the race meetings will include the Radical Cup Australia[4] and GT4 Australia.[5]
