The 2025 Zhuzhou International Racing Week was held between October 31 and November 2.

Four major events—the KUMHO FIA TCR World Tour, the China Touring Car Championship (CTCC) and Xracing ETCR Cup, the TCR China Series, and the CTCC China Cup—kicked off jointly. Over 30 racing teams from around the world, with more than 80 racing cars and over 120 top racing drivers, competed in the events.

The Zhuzhou International Circuit is the first circuit certified by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) in the central and southern regions of China, and also China's first international circuit featuring an oval-shaped track with the maximum crossfall and elevation change. Since its inauguration in 2019, several racing events have been organized here.

The circuit embarked on a strategic upgrade this year. At the launch ceremony on November 2, it was renamed the Hunan International Circuit. According to an official from the Zhuzhou National High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, the circuit will continue to enhance its facilities and operate with a more open approach, striving to boost deeper integration of the motorsports industry with urban cultural tourism economy in the central and southern regions of China.

An award ceremony for the "Outstanding City Partner" of the TCR World Tour was held on site. As a world-class touring car championship, the TCR World Tour has recognized Zhuzhou as an "Outstanding City Partner" based on its top-tier racing track and high-level racing arrangements.
