Overview of GP Explorer 3 at Le Mans
The third edition of GP Explorer returns with a star-studded lineup on the famous Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans. Scheduled for October 3–5, 2025, the event blends internet culture with real-world racing, delivering a Grand Prix-scale production for audiences watching Formule 4 cars race for glory. With a production setup on par with top-tier motorsport, GP Explorer 3 will stream live on Squeezie’s Twitch channel while France Télévisions carries broader coverage to traditional TV audiences.
The star-studded lineup
The field features a cross-genre mix of internet personalities and musicians paired into teams. Squeezie teams up with AmineMaTue in the Netflix squad. SCH is paired with Billy, while Mister V teams with PLK in the Subway crew. Other pairings include Djilsi and Maxime Biaggi in the Lego Racing Team, Théodort and Mastu in Andros Be Nuts!, Gotaga and Kikof in Lofi Girl M8, and Anyme with Houdi in the Durex team. Three all-female duos add their own flair: Maghla with Lea Elui (Sol de Janeiro), Baghera with Cocottee (Erborian), and Ana with Kaatsup (Alpine). International flavor arrives with Ander and Karchez from Spain (Cupra) and Ludwig Ahgren with Michael Reeves from the United States (The Crew Motorfest). The defending champion Depielo will not defend his title this year, opening the door to fresh rivalries and new storylines on track.
Why this lineup matters
The mix of online fame and racing talent creates a dynamic tension: strategic pace, social-media-driven moments, and high-stakes competition. Fans get to witness not only fast laps and pit-stop strategy but also the personalities behind the screens exchanging banter, challenges, and unexpected on-track moments that define GP Explorer as a crossover event.
