McLaren Trophy, Europe 2025 calendar confirmed with UK debut for championship

McLaren Automotive has confirmed the calendar for the 2025 McLaren Trophy, Europe season with ten rounds at five venues, following the recent announcement of the inaugural McLaren Trophy, America championship schedule.

Established in 2023, McLaren Trophy is designed to challenge Bronze and Silver drivers in 50-minute races with pitstops for driver changes and features the 585PS V6 twin-turbo, carbon-fibre chassis Artura Trophy race car.

The McLaren Trophy, Europe championship will visit the UK for the first time in 2025 with the opening rounds taking place in May at the famous Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit, located within 50 miles of the McLaren Technology Centre. This will be followed by another classic Formula 1 circuit, Italy’s Monza in early June.

The championship will be on the bill for the famous CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa once again in late June before heading to Germany’s iconic Nürburgring circuit in August. All of these rounds will support the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS.

The 2025 season will conclude in October at the Paul Ricard circuit in the south of France. This event will be appearing alongside the French GT Championship.

All McLaren Trophy races will be live streamed on the McLaren Automotive YouTube channel, with more than 250,000 fans regularly viewing the races.

“Having established McLaren Trophy, Europe as a competitive and social environment for Bronze and Silver drivers we are delighted to confirm our 2025 calendar. In addition to visiting many of the continent’s best circuits, I’m thrilled that we will be racing in the UK for the first time, commencing the season at the legendary Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit, 40 years on from Alain Prost winning the Formula 1 World Championship with McLaren at the same venue.

“It’s also fantastic that the third season of McLaren Trophy, Europe will continue to support the 24 Hours of Spa. This race, together with the 24 Hours of Le Mans is hugely important to our brand and we hope to see many more McLaren Trophy drivers follow the career path of Brendan Iribe, who made his competition debut with us and has now raced a McLaren at both 24-hour events.”
Mick McDonagh, Director of MSO and Motorsport, McLaren Automotive
