This weekend, the 4 Hours of Silverstone sees the return of the ELMS to the UK, with 16 British drivers and 7 British teams on the entry list. The fifth round of the 2025 season could prove decisive in several classes as the competition progresses towards the final round in Portugal.

Jamie Chadwick, Olli Caldwell, and Oliver Jarvis will all take to the grid in the LMP2 category, with Tim Creswick (LMP3), and Duncan Cameron (LMGT3), amongst the Brits competing in other classes across the weekend.

LMP2: VDS Panis Racing sets the pace

Thanks to victories at Imola and Spa-Francorchamps, the VDS Panis Racing #48 Oreca 07-Gibson comes to Silverstone with a comfortable 20-point lead. Ollie Gray will be racing in his home country, alongside teammates Charles Milesi and Esteban Masson.
British teams Vector Sport, United Autosports and Nielsen Racing will also benefit from a home crowd. The LMP2 field comprises 13 celebrated cars and drivers such as Jamie Chadwick, Ben Hanley and Tom Blomqvist.

LMP2 Pro/Am: a close-run competition

So far this season every race has been won by a different team, so the class remains well and truly open. Algarve Pro Racing leads the points table, with drivers Alex Quinn and Olli Caldwell, both British, teamed with Kriton Lentoudis. However, AO by TF and three-time champion Louis Delétraz are only three points away.

LMP3: CLX Motorsport has the title within reach

In LMP3, Theodor Jensen, Adrien Closmenil and Paul Lanchère stand head and shoulders above the rest of the field. Despite retiring at Spa, CLX Motorsport still has a 31-point lead, which could see the team clinch the championship at Silverstone.
Briton Timothy Creswick and his team Inter Europol Competition stand in line for second place, and local fans will also be pleased to see British manufacturer Ginetta back in the ELMS.

LMGT3: Aston Martin, the darling of the home crowd

The heat is on in LMGT3 too, where again, each round has seen a different winner. Racing Spirit of Léman’s Aston Martin Vantage AMR ranks first coming into the home round, under pressure from Iron Dames (Porsche) and Richard Mille AF Corse (Ferrari).

Trackside, all eyes will be on the four British teams – TF Sport, JMW Motorsport, GR Racing and United Autosports – and seven British drivers.
