Lamborghini Squadra Corse Selects 26 Drivers for Its Merit-Based 2025 Pipeline

Age limits are gone — a coefficient ranking drawn from the opening rounds now decides who enters the program.

Lamborghini Squadra Corse named 20 Junior drivers and six Young Professionals on July 16, replacing its previous age-based criteria with a coefficient ranking drawn from the opening two rounds of each continental championship.

Colin Queen's path from open-wheel to factory backing

Colin Queen transitioned from junior open-wheel competition into Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America with ANSA Motorsports, secured two podium finishes including one at the World Final in Misano, and was named the Super Trofeo Young Driver Program Shootout winner for the 2026 season.

Factory presence across major international series

Six Young Professional drivers already receiving factory support this season — Danny Formal, Mattia Michelotto, Maximilian Paul, Hampus Ericsson, Georgi Dimitrov, and Jacopo Guidetti — compete across IMSA, GTWC Europe, DTM, Italian GT, and Super Trofeo championships on three continents.

Scoring beyond lap times

Squadra Corse evaluates qualifying results, race finishes, on-track etiquette, post-weekend driver reports, and the quality of technical feedback each driver provides to engineers — an average across all indicators determines the final shortlist.

From the pipeline to the Temerario GT3 era

Enzo Geraci, the 2024 shootout winner, now leads the European Super Trofeo championship while contesting the North American series — and the drivers cultivated through this program are the ones Squadra Corse expects to race the upcoming Temerario GT3.
