LMP3 Era Returns to Silverstone with Charity Focus
The European Le Mans Series (ELMS) is set to make its much-anticipated return to Silverstone in September 2025, reviving the spirit of motorsport and community engagement established during its inaugural LMP3 race in April 2015. That event saw a memorable victory by Team LNT’s Ginetta Nissan, driven by Sir Chris Hoy and Charlie Robertson, marking the beginning of a new era in endurance racing.
While Hoy has stepped back from racing, his legacy in British sport endures. Recently, he disclosed his battle with Stage 4 cancer, prompting widespread support and astonishment. Hoy’s resilience has inspired him to launch a charity initiative named ‘Tour de 4,’ aimed at raising awareness and support for others facing similar health challenges.
In conjunction with the ELMS event at Silverstone, a charity run is scheduled for the evening of September 12, coinciding with the race weekend. The event, priced at £10, aims to galvanize support for cancer awareness, emphasizing community involvement at a well-regarded motorsports venue.
This dual-purpose event not only celebrates racing but also fosters solidarity for a critical cause. Further details regarding participation and donations can be found on the event’s official page.
