Squadra Corse's 2018 Roster Reveals a Motorsport Program Built on Stability, Not Spectacle

Lamborghini kept all six factory drivers and extended long-term contracts with three leading names.

Lamborghini Squadra Corse confirmed its entire six-driver factory roster for the 2018 GT racing season, keeping the lineup unchanged from 2017 and extending long-term contracts with Mirko Bortolotti, Andrea Caldarelli, and Christian Engelhart.

Factory-level reach across global championships

Marco Mapelli's 2018 assignment spans the Blancpain GT Asia Series and Japan's Super GT championship, giving Lamborghini factory-level representation in a region where GT3 customer car sales are growing.

The path from Super Trofeo to GT3 seats

Super Trofeo success earns a GT3 Junior seat, and GT3 Junior results earn consideration for factory support or a professional career with customer teams.

A GT-only pipeline in a Formula One world

Lamborghini's motorsport credibility depends entirely on GT championships and the Super Trofeo, so the factory driver program serves a dual commercial purpose: winning races that validate the Huracán GT3 for customer teams, and developing drivers who coach paying customers through the Accademia.

Development feedback from track to factory

Marco Mapelli's dual role as a factory racer and the company's primary test driver means the same person setting Nordschleife records in road cars is also racing the GT3 variant and feeding observations to the engineering team.

Three roles inside one factory contract

Raffaele Giammaria continues in a dual capacity as both a factory driver and the division's tester and youth program coordinator, embedding institutional knowledge directly into the junior development structure.

Confirmed junior drivers already placed for 2018

Dennis Lind and Martin Kodric move to the Blancpain GT Asia Series with FFF Racing, while Riccardo Agostini, Michele Beretta, and Patrick Kujala each step into international GT3 championship seats with established customer teams.

A proven core feeding a structured pipeline

The foundation Lamborghini described for 2018, a proven factory core feeding a structured junior pipeline across global championships, represents the kind of institutional depth that wins over seasons rather than single weekends.
