The 2025 IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge season will be the third season of the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge after being established in 2023 as a replacement for the IMSA Prototype Challenge. The season will begin on January 20 at Daytona International Speedway and will conclude on October 19 at Road Atlanta. After IMSA's removal of the LMP3 class from the 2024 IMSA SportsCar Championship, this series is now the highest tier of racing for LMP3s in the United States. On August 29, 2024, it was announced that GT3 cars (GTDX) will be added alongside the existing two classes.[1][2]
