A Lamborghini factory driver who had never lapped Donington Park conquered it in a downpour, making British GT history.
Andrea Caldarelli, a Lamborghini factory driver drafted into the WPI Motorsport squad as a late addition, had never turned a single lap of Donington Park before the weekend he won there.
Squadra Corse offered the Evo as an upgrade package for teams already running the original Huracán GT3, meaning privateer outfits like WPI Motorsport could adopt the latest aero and mechanical improvements without purchasing an entirely new chassis.
Sandy Mitchell yielded second place to Caldarelli in the closing stages, freeing the factory driver to chase down the leading Mercedes of Patrick Kujala, whom he passed with just nine minutes remaining.
The Evo's naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 delivered power without the throttle-response lag that turbocharged GT3 rivals sometimes exhibit in low-grip conditions, turning linear throttle response into a genuine competitive asset on a soaking circuit.
Three Huracán GT3 Evos finished in the top five that afternoon, proving the platform's wet-weather composure was not confined to one car or one driver but was built into the chassis itself.
