Squadra Corse embedded factory drivers like Andrea Caldarelli and Marco Mapelli into privateer lineups, giving Lamborghini teams a structural advantage in world-class talent and engineering guidance that went beyond the car itself.
Lamborghini's GT3 racing lineage faces a platform shift
Customer teams that built their programs around the Huracán's naturally aspirated V10 and its linear power delivery will need significant recalibration to adapt to the twin-turbocharged V8 architecture of the Temerario GT3.
Magnus Racing's charge from dead last to second place
The #44 Magnus Racing Huracán started 17th and dead last on the grid after mechanical issues prevented the team from setting a qualifying time, then clawed through the entire field over 24 hours to finish second.
The V10 engineered for endurance
