VAN DER LINDE CLAIMS HISTORIC TITLE TREBLE IN STORMY INDIANAPOLIS 8 HOUR

+ Kelvin van der Linde seals IGTC Drivers’ Championship with victory at The Brickyard after lengthy storm delay

+ Kenny Habul claims Independent Cup crown, but only just

+ Team WRT one-three secures a first GT3 Manufacturer title for BMW

Kelvin van der Linde is the 2025 Intercontinental GT Challenge Champion after scoring victory in a storm-hit Indianapolis 8 Hour presented by AWS alongside Valentino Rossi and Charles Weerts.

Team WRT BMW ace Van der Linde’s fourth win of the season was far from straightforward in a race that featured a lengthy red flag stoppage due to severe weather, and a key strategic call during the disrupted final stages swung the momentum in the South African’s favour. The result gives Team WRT its third-straight Indy 8 Hour win, and Rossi his first IGTC glory. The Italian legend also becomes a winner at The Brickyard on both two wheels and four, following his MotoGP success at the venue back in 2008. The points also gave BMW its first IGTC GT3 Manufacturers title.

With Van der Linde having already wrapped up both the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS Sprint and Overall titles, only Raffaele Marciello could deny him a historic treble. The Swiss did all he could alongside team-mates Al Faisal Al Zubair and Augusto Farfus, leading the race into the final 90 minutes before losing out to the sister car’s pit strategy.

Sixth place was enough to confirm Kenny Habul as this year’s Independent Cup Champion with Chaz Mostert and Will Power helping him to a second class victory of the year aboard the 75 Express Mercedes-AMG.

GOUNON AND MERCEDES-AMG INHERIT INDY 8 HOUR POLE FROM PENALISED RANDOM VANDALS BMW

+ Gounon promoted to pole after post-session penalty for Random Vandals

+ BMW's American squad set back after post-session checks

+ Title rivals Marciello and Van der Linde start second and third

Jules Gounon and Lone Star Racing will start from pole position for tomorrow’s Indianapolis 8 Hour presented by AWS after inheriting top spot for the Intercontinental GT Challenge season finale.

The #80 Mercedes-AMG initially finished second in the Pole Shootout but was promoted a spot after provisional pole-sitter Philipp Eng and the Random Vandals Racing BMW team was stripped of the result following a technical infringement during post-session checks.

It initially looked like Random Vandals Racing had beaten the much-fancied international teams to pole when Eng snatched the fastest time just seconds after Gounon had hit the front with his best lap. However, the #51 BMW was demoted back to 10th for being underweight, handing Gounon and Lone Star back top spot for the season finale.

The initial blows were dealt by IGTC's drivers' championship contenders, Kelvin van der Linde and Raffaele Marciello, whose Team WRT M4s now lead BMW's assault. The title rivals had been set to share the second row of the grid, but will now start second and third. Marciello – who trails his South African team-mate by five points – enjoyed a spell at the top of the times early on before being pushed back, but still holds a slim advantage over the sister car.

QUALIFYING RESULT

• Bavarian brand 20 points clear but unrepresented on Australian grid

• Hampton Downs stages deciding round on 1/2 November

• Mercedes-AMG needs 21 points to clinch seventh successive global crown

GLOBAL STANDINGS

BMW has snatched a narrow advantage at the top of the GT World Challenge powered by AWS standings, but Mercedes-AMG appears poised to reclaim its global title when the season concludes this weekend at Hampton Downs (1/2 November).

Victory at the storm-hit Indianapolis 8 Hour presented by AWS saw the Bavarian marque pull 20 points clear of its rival, but with no representatives on the Australian grid it will be unable to defend this lead. Based on its average score at GT World Challenge Australia events Mercedes-AMG will return to the top at Hampton Downs, though it is by no means a foregone conclusion.

The recent run of races began with the Australian series visiting The Bend on 6/7 September for its penultimate event of the year. Alex Peroni and Mark Rosser earned Race 1 honours in their Team BRM Audi, giving the R8 a fifth global win of the season – four of which have come Down Under. The second outing was won by Tigani Motorsport duo Paul Lucchitti and Jayden Ojeda, sealing Mercedes-AMG’s first Aussie triumph of 2025.

INDIANAPOLIS PREPARES FOR IGTC TITLE SHOWDOWN

+ Van der Linde versus Marciello for the drivers’ crown

+ Porsche looking to overturn BMW’s manufacturers’ advantage

+ Au, Bohn and Habul go head-to-head for Independent Cup title

ENTRY LIST

Intercontinental GT Challenge champions will be crowned at the Indianapolis 8 Hour presented by AWS this Saturday night when Kelvin van der Linde and Raffaele Marciello go one-on-one for the drivers’ title, Porsche attempts to defend its manufacturers’ championship from BMW, and Antares Au, Ralf Bohn and Kenny Habul stage a winner-takes-all Independent Cup showdown.

The Brickyard, which also hosts the GT World Challenge America powered by AWS finale, has attracted a total of 25 entries that comprise both regular season competitors and international teams drawn from Europe, Asia and Australasia. Drivers include cross-code champions Valentino Rossi and Will Power as well as some of the biggest names in global GT racing.

And the latter do not come much bigger than championship leader Van der Linde and his BMW factory colleague Marciello who are separated by five points. 25 are still available at IMS where their WRT squad is attempting to win for the third time in as many years.

Doing so would see BMW become IGTC manufacturers’ champions for the first time. It currently leads Porsche by 18 points with a maximum of 43 available for finishing first and second. Stuttgart will hold the numerical advantage thanks to seven 911s versus five M4s, but only the two highest placed finishers per brand will contribute towards the constructors’ title.

Fellow full-season entrants Mercedes-AMG and Ferrari can no longer win the overall drivers’ or manufacturers’ crowns. Instead, their focus will be on securing outright and class victories. Indeed, Mercedes-AMG’s appetite for IGTC success is underlined by the four Pro crews listed amongst its cast of six entries.

One of them, 75 Express, carries the hopes of IGTC Independent Cup contender Kenny Habul who is joined in the Pro class by two-time IndyCar Series champion Will Power and Supercars ace Chaz Mostert. His title rivals, Ralf Bohn and reigning champion Antares Au, are respectively aboard Herberth and Wright Porsches, and tied at the top of the standings. However, with six points covering all three, each of whom have won once this year, the class title will fittingly go to whoever finishes first on Saturday night.

Adrian D’Silva completes the Independent Cup roster but cannot score sufficiently to overturn his 28-point deficit. Class victory for EBM’s Porsche could, however, alter the complexion of the championship battle between Au, Bohn and Habul.

The rumors are true—Valentino Rossi is coming to the Indy 8 Hour.

The Doctor has an appointment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with the nine-time MotoGP World Champion preparing to make his debut in the event, joining BMW and Team WRT in one of their two factory-supported entries. Rossi will race with his iconic No. 46 on the side of the BMW M4 GT3, partnering with Intercontinental GT Challenge championship leader Kelvin van der Linde and reigning IGTC champion Charles Weerts.

It’s a blockbuster lineup worthy of the Brickyard. Van der Linde, a double Nürburgring 24 Hours winner, and Weerts, who captured the IGTC title at Indianapolis just one year ago, bring proven pedigree to the table. With Rossi added to the mix, the team has quickly become one of the most anticipated storylines of the 2025 Indy 8 Hour.

For Rossi, the event marks another milestone in his evolving career on four wheels. After 26 seasons in Grand Prix motorcycle racing, where he amassed 115 victories, 235 podiums, and 65 pole positions, the Italian legend made the switch to GT racing in 2022 with Team WRT. Since then, he has steadily added to his résumé in sportscar racing, taking landmark victories at the Misano World Circuit in both 2023 and 2024 in GT World Challenge Europe.

In 2025, Rossi has already made headlines across the globe, competing in the Intercontinental GT Challenge with Raffaele Marciello and Weerts. Earlier this year, he celebrated a podium at the Bathurst 12 Hour, finishing second in the Pro category, scoring his best result to date at Mount Panorama. He also continued his run of success in GT World Challenge Europe, teaming up with Kevin Magnussen and Rene Rast in the Endurance Cup, and pairing with Marciello in the Sprint Cup to take victory at Misano once again.

But Indianapolis carries a special meaning for Rossi. He raced twice at the Brickyard during his illustrious MotoGP career, winning there on debut back in 2008. Nearly two decades later, he is making his return, this time on four wheels. Eager to add another chapter to his history, he is ready to embark on a new journey around the Speedway in hopes of returning to victory lane and giving the yard of bricks another kiss.

With Rossi, van der Linde, and Weerts sharing the No. 46 BMW, the combination of star power and exceptional talent makes this one of the must-watch entries in the field. In case it needed to be further stated, the Indy 8 Hour just got even bigger.
