LEXINGTON, Ohio (Nov. 13, 2024) – The 64th season of racing at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course will feature five major spectator events next summer beginning in early June. The 2025 schedule will again be highlighted by the annual NTT INDYCAR SERIES race weekend, MotoAmerica Superbikes action and IMSA sports car racing.
“All five major weekends are returning in 2025, and we couldn’t be more thrilled that they all are staying on the same weekends as in 2024,” said Craig Rust, president of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. “Next summer’s schedule continues our tradition of delivering a great variety from the premier series in motorsports. There once again is something for everyone!”
IMSA sports car racing will kick off the action next summer with the second annual running of the O’Reilly Auto Parts Four Hours of Mid-Ohio set for June 6-8. The weekend will again feature a four-hour Michelin Pilot Challenge endurance race, one of the two four-hour competitions on the series’ 2025 schedule, plus additional sports car action from VP Racing SportsCar Challenge and Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin. The USF Juniors Presented by Continental Tire also add in some open-wheel competition to the schedule.
The Permco Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio, the longest continuously-running spectator event at the track, returns on June 20-22 for its 43rd running. The Sportscar Vintage Racing Association’s SpeedTour weekend will provide fans a wide array of classic and modern race cars to enjoy, including the ground-pounding Trans Am Series.
The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio featuring the NTT INDYCAR SERIES will continue its Fourth of July tradition with the 42nd running of Ohio’s largest annual motorsports event on July 4-6. The 2024 edition of the legendary open-wheel weekend featured a classic battle as Pato O’Ward beat three-time and reigning NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou to the checkered flag.
Shifting from four-wheel to two-wheel action, the globally renowned Permco AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days will make its 30th appearance at the facility on July 25-27. The American Motorcyclist Association’s annual motorcycle gathering will bring racing, bike shows, the largest motorcycle swap meet in North America and more filling the 380-acre facility with activities.
