Video Review: 6 Hours of Paul Ricard

The Paul Ricard circuit in the south of France again hosted the first round of the GT World Challenge Europe – Endurance Cup. The opening race of the 2025 season – featuring seven Ferrari 296 GT3s on the starting grid – was contested over six hours and concluded after nightfall. Victory in the Bronze class went to Kessel Racing’s Ferrari 296 GT3 number 74, crewed by Dustin Blattner, Dennis Marschall, and Conrad Laursen. It was a day of celebration for the Swiss team, with the number 8 car – last year’s winners of the three-hour race – finishing third, driven by Nicolò Rosi, Niccolò Schirò, and David Fumanelli.

The video captures the intensity of this two-day event in France, told through the voices of the drivers – from practice to qualifying, from pit lane adrenaline to the celebrations on the podium. Exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews and footage enrich the narrative, featuring drivers such as official Ferrari racers Andrea Bertolini, Antonio Fuoco, Arthur Leclerc, Alessandro Pier Guidi, Davide Rigon and Alessio Rovera.

In the top class, the two AF Corse – Francorchamps Motors cars, the number 51 driven by Rovera, Abril and Pier Guidi, and the number 50 with Fuoco, Leclerc and Donno, finished 15th and 16th respectively. In the Bronze Cup, Rinaldi Racing’s number 12 entry, with Rigon, Christian Hook and David Perel, came ninth, ahead of the AF Corse – Francorchamps Motors number 52, crewed by Bertolini along with Jef and Louis Machiels. Ziggo Sport Tempesta Racing’s Ferrari number 93, with Chris Froggatt, Eddie Cheever III and Marco Pulcini, closed in 13th.
