Lamborghini concluded this year’s motorsport season with seven GT championship titles — with the supercar manufacturer now having 42 since the first-generation Huracán GT3 made its debut in 2015.
For this year, Lamborghini Squadra Corse won the titles for the drivers’, teams’, and constructors’ category in the GT World Challenge America, dominated both the drivers’ and teams’ standings in the International GT Open, and won both British GT titles for the second year running.
This was due to the 24 victories, 60 podium finishes, 29 pole positions and 35 fastest laps attained by the 89 drivers (eight of whom are Lamborghini Factory Drivers).
“The Lamborghini customer teams compete in 13 different international GT3 championships, a category introduced by the FIA in 2006 and dedicated to supercars derived from road-going models. Some of the most prestigious automotive brands participate in this category. Over 40 Huracán GT3 cars currently take part in championships including the GT World Challenge Europe, whose season highlight is the 24 Hours of Spa; the IMSA SportsCar Championship, an American series comprising the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring; International GT Open in Europe; and competitive national series such as the Italian GT Championship, the British GT, the ADAC GT Masters, and DTM in Germany,” Lamborghini shared in a statement.
It was also this year when Lamborghini made its debut at the GT World Challenge America under K-Pax Racing, a Californian racing team equipped with two Huracán GT3 EVO cars that are driven by Lamborghini Factory Drivers Andrea Caldarelli and Giovanni Venturini, partnered with Jordan Pepper and Corey Lewis, respectively.
Caldarelli and Pepper dominated the season after winning 9 of the 13 races in the calendar and was in third place at the 8 Hours of Indianapolis.
Aside from that, Lamborghini topped the International GT Open Championship. The two GT3 Junior Drivers, Michele Beretta and Frederik Schandorff, won the fourth drivers’ title out of six consecutive editions of the continental championship. To note, Lamborghini previously won the drivers’ title in 2016, 2017, and 2019.
Further, Dennis Lind and Leo Machitski — on board the Huracán GT3 EVO of the Barwell Motorsport team — were the champions at the British GT.
“Lastly, a special mention for the most important wins in the class, with the Emil Frey Racing and Barwell Motorsport teams, which dominated the Silver Cup and the Pro-Am category of the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS. The Swiss team dominated the season, winning the drivers’ and teams’ titles with Alex Fontana behind the wheel of the Huracán GT3 EVO no. 14; the British team did the same in the Pro-Am with the crew of the No. 77 car, Miguel Ramos and Henrique Chaves,” the company concluded.
