Lamborghini's SC63 program is undergoing strategic changes in 2025, focusing on development and future customer operations. The manufacturer has scaled back its racing program to five IMSA endurance races this year, partnering with Riley as their operational partner.

Key program updates:

• Withdrawal from FIA WEC's Hypercar class for 2025
• Continued IMSA presence due to U.S. market importance
• Partnership with Riley for development and race operations
• Focus on in-house development under Squadra Corse

Development priorities:

• Vehicle dynamics improvements
• Suspension and aerodynamic upgrades
• Weight reduction
• Potential Evo "Joker" upgrades during 2025

Future plans:

• Transition to customer operations by 2026
• No immediate plans for WEC return
• Open to supporting private teams in both IMSA and WEC
• Possibility of continued Riley partnership beyond 2025

The program's success hinges on performance improvements and customer interest over the next year. Technical Director Rouven Mohr remains optimistic about finding customer teams, though acknowledges the market is smaller than GT3. The remaining four races and 34 hours of competition in 2025 will be crucial in determining the SC63's future direction.

The manufacturer emphasizes balancing emotional racing aspirations with business practicality, maintaining their commitment to customer racing while developing a competitive platform for future private team operations.
