@carlbennett_’s 2025 International GT Open season marked a decisive step forward in European GT3 competition. 

Making his Pro class debut with AF Corse in the Ferrari 296 GT3, the Thai-American racing driver combined rapid adaptation with measured execution across one of the category’s most competitive grids. Race wins at Paul Ricard and the Red Bull Ring, alongside podium finishes at the Hungaroring, confirmed a campaign defined by progression rather than patience. 

Beyond results, the season reflected a driver learning the nuances of GT3 racecraft, managing fine margins, and responding under pressure in changing conditions. Falling short of the championship by four points sharpened both perspective and ambition, reinforcing the foundations laid across the year. With experience gained and intent clarified, Bennett’s trajectory now points firmly toward sustained contention at the front of international GT racing.
