Michelle Gatting, Sarah Bovy and Célia Martin kicked off the 2025 European Le Mans Series (ELMS) campaign with a hard-fought victory – the first of the Iron Dames X Porsche partnership – after stamping their authority on the four-hour contest with a commanding performance.

Rocco Coronel and Alfie Slater shared the wins as the 20th anniversary season of the Ginetta Junior Championship got underway with three thrilling races at Donington Park (05/06 April).

Ary Bansal and Alex Berg were the winners on the second day of the GB4 Championship season opener at Donington Park, but it was Hillspeed’s Dan Guinchard that left the East Midlands as the early championship leader.

Almost four years after the previous FIA Karting Championship at Campillos, the Andalusian circuit was perfectly suited to the eagerly-awaited European opener, contributing to the success of the first 2025 competition. The Finals lived up to their promise in both categories. Britain's Noah Baglin made the difference in OK-Junior, while Australian James Anagnostiadis emerged victorious from an intense duel in OK. Several of the drivers in the top three were already wearing the colours of academies set up by Formula 1 teams, including Baglin with Ferrari and Anagnostiadis with Mercedes.

The Ginetta Junior Championship is set to launch its landmark 20th anniversary season in spectacular fashion this weekend with the largest opening round grid in series history ready to put on a show across three races at Donington Park.
