Ferrari customer team Sky Tempesta Racing has been awarded an automatic invitation to enter the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMGT3 class.
The British-flagged outfit has been awarded an invitation to compete in the race for the first time next June following its success in the GT World Challenge Europe Bronze Cup class this year, winning the overall Bronze Cup Drivers’ and the Endurance Cup Teams’ and Drivers’ titles.
Sky Tempesta claimed the invite after a gripping season finale in Jeddah last weekend. Its Ferrari 296 GT3 finished sixth in class in the six-hour encounter, narrowly beating entries from Rutronik Racing and Barwell Motorsport to the Drivers’ title which earned it the place at La Sarthe.

“What an amazing feeling!” Sky Tempesta driver Chris Froggatt said. “Jeddah was a very tough weekend for us but I’m happy that the team came together, performed a relatively clean race and the points banked over the year helped us over a difficult weekend to lock in the wins. We can’t wait to be on the grid for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025!”
Sky Tempesta joins Iron Lynx (European Le Mans Series) and Orey Fidani (IMSA Sportscar Championship), who have also received automatic invitations to the LMGT3 class for the race next year.
Further invitations will be awarded to the LMP2 (for LMP2) and GT (for LMGT3) champions in the Asian Le Mans Series over the winter, which begins at the Sepang International Circuit this weekend (7/8 December).
