The 2025 European Le Mans Series season presented WTM by Rinaldi Racing with significant challenges. In the highly competitive LMP3 category, the team faced an exceptionally strong field and had to navigate a variety of situations over the six race weekends, demanding flexibility and strategic skill.
The team campaigned the Duqueine D09 LMP3, a proven chassis that was continuously developed in close collaboration with the engineers at Duqueine. Throughout the season, the team showed strong performance at various events, although it was not always able to secure maximum points. Technical adjustments, changing track conditions, and the intense level of competition created demanding situations for both drivers and the team, while at the same time providing valuable learning opportunities and strengthening the partnership with Duqueine.
The season took WTM by Rinaldi Racing to six of Europe’s most renowned circuits, including Barcelona, Paul Ricard, Imola, Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone, and Portimão. Over the course of the year, the team repeatedly demonstrated the capabilities of its cars and the dedication of its drivers, even if the points tally did not always reflect the full potential. At the end of the season, the team finished last in the LMP3 team standings – a result that in no way diminishes the effort, commitment, and capabilities of the crew and the vehicles.
Despite the challenges, the team remained united and professional throughout the season. Every event was used to optimise car setups, test strategic adjustments, and further refine technical processes. Under the demanding conditions of the ELMS, the experience and structured approach of the Rinaldi engineering team proved to be a central pillar of the program. The 2025 season was, above all, an intensive learning phase in the highly competitive ELMS environment, strengthening the team and providing valuable insights for future projects.
With the conclusion of the season, the ELMS program of WTM by Rinaldi Racing came to an end, characterised by dedication, passion, and a shared commitment to competing at the highest level. Rinaldi Racing remains closely connected to the European Le Mans Series and looks forward with confidence to upcoming challenges, applying the lessons learned in 2025 to future programs.
