The Italian manufacturer must now identify new service providers for both its GTD PRO and GTP entries. This search comes after Lamborghini's exit from WEC's Hypercar class, prompted by FIA's 2025 requirement for manufacturers to field two factory cars instead of one.

Key developments:

  • Lamborghini's longtime partner Iron Lynx has shifted to Mercedes-AMG for WEC's LMGT3 class
  • The GTD PRO program needs a new service provider, with Pfaff Motorsports emerging as a potential candidate
  • GTP program has multiple options, including possibly retaining PREMA Racing if it separates from Iron Lynx
  • The GTP effort will focus on the five-race Michelin Endurance Championship
  • GTD PRO commitment is expected to run full season

The manufacturer confirms its continued commitment to the IMSA SportsCar Championship and SC63 development in the United States, with program details to be announced soon.

The company maintains its U.S. racing strategy while adjusting to changing partnerships and regulatory requirements. These changes will shape Lamborghini's competitive presence in both GTD PRO and GTP categories for the upcoming season.
