How the Huracán GT3 Evo's Double Win at Le Mans Laid the Foundation for Lamborghini's Racing Future
FFF Racing's Hamaguchi and Caldarelli swept both Road to Le Mans races in a single weekend at La Sarthe.
On September 19, 2020, FFF Racing's Hiroshi Hamaguchi and Lamborghini factory driver Andrea Caldarelli swept both Road to Le Mans races at the Circuit de la Sarthe in their Huracán GT3 Evo #63.
Why a support race at Le Mans carries real brand weight
Lamborghini supplies the hardware and engineering support through Squadra Corse, while customer teams like FFF Racing operate the programs, and a double win at La Sarthe validated both the car and the entire support structure behind it.
A decade of V10 evolution
The Huracán GT3 platform launched in 2015 and kept evolving, with the LMGT3 Evo2 debuting for the 2023 season featuring a new roof air scoop, tail fin, revised throttle bodies, and a refined aerodynamic package for better stability in fast corners.
The V10's unmistakable character on track
The Huracán GT3 Evo's naturally aspirated V10 defined a specific character on track through its linear power delivery and an unmistakable exhaust note that teams and fans could identify from pit lane.
Dominant in the dry, composed in the wet
The Huracán GT3 Evo could dominate in the dry and survive under pressure in the wet, two very different tests of a racing platform's maturity that made the contrast between the two victories so telling.
The engineering depth behind the results
Billet aluminum suspension arms, a Bosch Motorsport traction control system adjustable in 10 positions, and a 12-position ABS system gave drivers and engineers a wide tuning window critical for adapting to circuits as varied as La Sarthe.
From V10 legacy to in-house V8 successor
The Temerario GT3 marks Lamborghini's first competition car entirely designed, developed, and built in-house at Sant'Agata Bolognese, stripping the road car's hybrid system to run a modified twin-turbocharged V8 without electric assistance as GT3 regulations require.
