The penultimate round of the 2025 Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli UK series takes place this weekend at Donington Park - a favourite among drivers and the oldest motorsport circuit still in operation in the UK. The 2.49-mile track is renowned for its fast, flowing corners and elevation changes, making it a true driver’s circuit.

In Trofeo Pirelli, Gilbert Yates (Charles Hurst) looks to extend his dominant run. After three rounds, the Northern Irishman leads the championship with 101 points, having won all but one race this season. Behind him, just eight points separate Pranav Vangala (HR Owen) and Paul Simmerson (Graypaul Birmingham) in the fight for second.

In Coppa Shell, Mike Dewhirst (Dick Lovett Swindon) carries a 12-point advantage following two podiums at Brands Hatch, but Peter Hunter (Stratstone Manchester) – in equally strong form - continues to apply pressure in second place. Further back, in third place, is Paul Rogers (HR Owen) at 39.

Fair weather is forecast for the Derbyshire venue, promising another thrilling weekend of wheel-to-wheel action in the Ferrari 296 Challenge cars.

The programme for Saturday includes two free practice sessions, qualifying from 12.45 to 13.15 (separate for the two classes) and Race 1, lasting thirty minutes, starting at 15.50. Sunday will see a repeat of qualifying from 10.30 to 11.00 and the green light for the second race at 14.00 (local times).
