The 2025 6 Hours of Imola was an endurance sportscar racing event, held between 18 and 20 April 2025, as the second of eight rounds of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship. It was the third running of the event, and the second consecutive running of the event as part of the World Endurance Championship.

Background The event was announced on 14 June 2024, during the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans weekend. After replacing the Monza event in 2024, a four-year deal was signed for the circuit to keep its place on the calendar until at least 2028.

Entry list

The entry list was published on 4 April 2025 and consisted of 36 entries across 2 categories – 18 in both Hypercar and LMGT3. In the Hypercar category, Aston Martin ran only two drivers, with Ross Gunn and Roman De Angelis dropped from the No. 007 and No. 009, respectively. The only notable change in the LMGT3 category was Esteban Masson who replaced Ben Barnicoat in the No. 78 Akkodis ASP Team entry, after the latter had suffered an injury.
