The sun’s out, the engines are loud, and the racing calendar is stacked. July brings the heat – literally and figuratively – with endurance action, F1 drama, and a brand-new concept from the Nürburgring. Here’s what not to miss this month:
July 4–6
NLS-Light – Germany (Nürburgring)
A new chapter at the Ring: NLS-Light debuts as a fresh take on endurance racing. With top classes like GT3/SP9 sitting this one out, the spotlight shifts to smaller teams, new talent, and real club-level racing.
The format stays true to the NLS DNA – four hours of multi-class chaos on the Nordschleife – but with a focus on accessibility. Drivers with a Permit Nordschleife Grade C or B can enter, making it the perfect opportunity to get real track time without being swallowed up by GT3 traffic.
Bonus: A paddock BBQ on Friday sets the tone for a proper grassroots celebration.
Formula 1 – British GP (Silverstone)
The British Grand Prix always delivers – and not just because it’s the home of Formula 1. Silverstone is fast, wide, and made for racing. Corners like Maggotts and Becketts still define bravery in the modern era, and the crowd? Unmatched.
Expect a fired-up home audience, late-race tire drama, and drivers pushing limits from lights to flag. The championship is heating up, and Silverstone is the perfect place to shake up the order.
ELMS – 4 Hours of Imola (Italy)
While F1 lights up Silverstone, the European Le Mans Series heads to one of Italy’s most storied tracks. Imola delivers rhythm and precision, with tight braking zones and classic sections like Acque Minerali and Rivazza that reward clean, confident driving.
Four hours of traffic management, pit strategy, and wheel-to-wheel racing across multiple classes – all played out on a circuit steeped in motorsport history.
It’s not just beautiful, it’s brutal.
July 12–14
WEC – 6 Hours of São Paulo (Brazil)
Back on the calendar and back with a bang: Interlagos is pure energy. From the Senna S to the long climb up to the finish line, this track offers nonstop action and just enough unpredictability to keep engineers up at night.
With WEC’s multi-class battles, expect intense moments as LMP1s and GTs thread through traffic at high speed. Throw in the potential for Brazilian rain and vocal home fans, and you’ve got a proper endurance thriller.
IMSA – Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Mosport)
Across the pond, IMSA heads to one of the fastest, most old-school circuits in North America. Mosport is narrow, flowing, and demands total confidence – especially through Turn 2, a downhill left-hander that separates the brave from the rest.
Expect bold moves, minimal margin for error, and some of the most underrated racing of the month.
July 25–27
Formula 1 – Belgian GP (Spa-Francorchamps)
There’s fast – and then there’s Spa. This is hallowed ground for motorsport fans, a track where weather can flip a race in seconds and elevation changes test even the best setups.
From Eau Rouge to Blanchimont, it’s one of the ultimate driver circuits – and always a fan favorite.
If there’s one weekend to block off and settle in, this is it.
So there it is – your July 2025 motorsport roadmap. From the raw energy of NLS-Light on the Nordschleife to the high-stakes drama of Formula 1 at Spa, this month delivers the full spectrum of racing: grassroots grit, strategic endurance, and top-tier spectacle.
What makes July special isn’t just the races themselves, but the contrast between them – the stripped-back intensity of club racing on one weekend, followed by hybrid-powered prototypes flying through São Paulo the next. It’s proof that motorsport doesn’t live in one format or one country. It lives everywhere – in every paddock, pit wall, and late-braking move.
Whether you’re a trackside regular, a livestream loyalist, or someone who just loves to hear engines echo through a summer evening, July has something for you. So set your alarms, mark your weekends, and enjoy the ride.
Because when the weather heats up, racing does too.
