The season will also mark the launch of the brand new Masters Le Mans 80s+ series, for the emblematic cars of Group C which will be reborn during three major events… An experience not to be missed for spectators and teams alike.
Eight unmissable events to look forward to
The Masters Tour 2025 will feature eight notable events, with the Masters Racing Legends for Formula 1 cars from 1966 to 1985 starring in each of them. The Historic Racing Masters will focus on three major events in the UK and Europe, showcasing all of its grids, ensuring an action-packed season for drivers and enthusiasts. Highlights include Masters Historic Festival at Brands Hatch (May 31 to June 1), Historic Grand Prix in Zandvoort (June 20 to 22) and Silverstone Festival (August 22-24), where drivers can expect significant track time in several exhilarating races.
Unlike previous years, the other rounds of the calendar will feature a selection of Masters grids which will continue to include the Masters Sports Car Legends for sports cars that competed at Le Mans from 1962 to 1976, the Masters Gentlemen Drivers for pre-1966 GTs , the Masters Pre-66 Touring Cars and the Masters GT Trophy for GT3, GT4 cars and one-make GTs which are not homologated. At the same time, the Masters Endurance Legends grid will be renamed Masters Le Mans 90s+, placing emphasis on endurance races from the 1990s to 2000s.
High-speed action from April to November with the Masters!
The Masters Tour 2025 will start in style at Paul Ricard from April 25 to 27 during the Historic French Grand Prixan event that last year saw a record participation of 40 Masters Racing Legends cars. This season, Paul Ricard will host the brand new Masters Le Mans 80s+ series alongside the iconic 3-liter F1, making it an unmissable event. In May (9th to 11th), the Masters return to Jim Clark Revival at Hockenheim, with the Masters Le Mans 90+ series and a combined Masters Gentlemen Drivers & Masters Pre-66 Touring Cars grid for a thrilling spectacle. After the unmissable events of Brands Hatch et Zandvoortthe Masters join the Oldtimer Grand Prix (from August 1 to 3) at the Nürburgring with the same two grids as at Paul Ricard. In August (22 to 24), the Silverstone Festival is sold out, as the UK and European season draws to a close, giving way to two thrilling closing races under the heat of the Middle Eastern sun. Racing enthusiasts can expect a spectacular doubleheader at theDubai Autodrome (from October 24 to 26) and at the Circuit de Yas Marina (October 31 to November 2), which will close the season in electrifying fashion.
The Masters venture into the Middle East
Having hosted the Gulf Historic GP Revival for several years, new Masters owner Fred Fatien was eager to expand the 2025 Masters calendar with a new event in the region. Taking full advantage of the cars’ presence in the Middle East, the Masters will now feature an exciting double winter event, with the Gulf Historic at Abu Dhabi’s iconic Yas Marina Circuit. This double in the heart of the Emirates should be an unforgettable event on next year’s program!
New series and new names for 2025!
The new Masters Le Mans 80s+ series will highlight Group C and IMSA GTP cars from 1982 to 1993, and focus on three prestigious European events – Paul Ricard, Nürburgring and Silverstone – where the cars can display their full power. Next, the series will continue in an exciting winter doubleheader in the Middle East. Following the introduction of this new series, the Masters Endurance Legends grid will also be renamed Masters Le Mans 90s+, reinforcing the historical continuity and heritage between the two grids.
Equally unique, the Masters Demo Legends grid for Formula 1 from the 1990s will be an opportunity to present models from the exhilarating 3.5 liter formula of F1, an era which is rapidly gaining ground thanks to the recent decision to the FIA to include the 1990s in Appendix K of the International Sporting Code for historic motorsport. These iconic cars will make their appearance at Brands Hatch in May and at both Middle East rounds, giving fans a rare glimpse of historic motorsport in action.
Further details on each event and available track times will be communicated in the coming weeks. Registration prices for 2025 will be available at the end of the year.
