Ligier JS Cup France releases its 2025 calendar.
A few days before the championship resumes at Le Castellet in early September, the Ligier JS Cup France unveiled the calendar for its seventh season. The program includes seven races of four to six hours each in France and Europe, for a total of more than 70 hours of driving over the season (40 hours of racing and 3 hours of private testing, 1 hour of free practice and 30 minutes of qualifying per meeting).
The series is breaking with its tradition of kicking off the season in Le Mans for the second time since its launch*, opening the ball on March 7 and 8 in Spain at the Valencia circuit, which returns to the calendar after a year's absence.
Then it's off to Le Castellet on March 21 and 22. The Var circuit has been a staple of the championship since its inception, along with Le Mans and Nogaro.
On May 23 and 25, competitors will meet in the Nièvre region, on the Magny-Cours circuit, next to the French manufacturers' workshops based on the circuit's Technopole.
Then onto to Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium on July 4 and 5.
The season will return to Le Mans on September 5 and 6, before the Nogaro round on September 26 and 27.
The season closes on October 10 and 11 on the Portimao circuit, as it has done since 2022.
The Ligier Junior Programme will be run over five rounds: Valencia, Le Castellet, Magny-Cours, Le Mans and Portimão.
* The 2021 season began in Belgium at Spa-Francorchamps.
