GT Endurance Cup

The Ultimate GT Endurance Cup was open to GT3, GT4 and single-make series cars. Its number of different classes was reduced in 2025: drivers were competing in four classes numbered from UCS1 to UCS4 as well as a separate Porsche Cup class, meaning the UCS Light class was discontinued.

GT-Sprint Cup

The Ultimate GT-Sprint Cup was open to GT3, GT4 and single-make series cars. It consisted of the same UCS1-UCS4 classes seen in the GT Endurance Cup, as well as separate classes for the Porsche Cup and the Ferrari Challenge.

Hoosier Formula Cup

The Hoosier Formula Cup, formerly known as the Ultimate Formula Cup, was open to Tatuus F3R T318 cars powered by either Alfa Romeo or Renault engines on 13-inch Hoosier tyres. There were no longer any classes catering to Formula Renault or Formula 4 machinery.
Nano López, driving for TS Corse, won the overall championship with two races to spare and in doing so also became the Rookie Champion. Formula Motorsport driver Laurent Wuthrich claimed the Gentleman Drivers' Championship one race later.
