Lamborghini competes in each the IMSA SportsCar Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship with its SC63 LMDh and Huracán GT3 race cars.
Nonetheless, the automaker announced on Nov. 22 that it can put its World Endurance Championship program on hold next season.
In an announcement, Lamborghini said the WEC’s recent rules requiring at the least two cars to be fielded within the premier Hypercar class, where Lamborghini competes with the SC63, don’t align with its current strategy.
Lamborghini has not indicated when, or if, it plans to return to the WEC with its SC63. Nonetheless, the SC63 will still compete within the premier GTP class of the SportsCar Championship next season, allowing Lamborghini to proceed developing the automobile.
Lamborghini Temerario
Lamborghini also stated it can withdraw from the WEC’s lower LMGT3 class next season, where it previously competed with the Huracán GT3. This decision will allow the automaker to deal with developing a alternative GT3 race automobile based on the recently unveiled Temerario, the V-8 plug-in hybrid supercar that succeeds the Huracán.
The brand new Temerario GT3 race automobile is currently undergoing testing and is scheduled to be revealed next yr.
Lamborghini’s current partner within the WEC, Iron Lynx, will team up with Mercedes-Benz AMG within the LMGT3 class next season. It’ll mark the primary time AMG competes within the WEC with a race automobile based on its GT sports automobile.
One other recent entry within the WEC next season will likely be the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH, which can compete within the Hypercar class. Aston Martin will field the Valkyrie in collaboration with America’s Heart of Racing.
