Two Wins in Two Starts: The Temerario GT3 Validates Lamborghini's In-House Gamble

A pole-to-flag sweep at Virginia International Raceway gives Lamborghini's newest GT3 car back-to-back IMSA victories.

Pfaff Motorsports' factory drivers Andrea Caldarelli and Sandy Mitchell led 69 of 84 laps at Virginia International Raceway to deliver the Lamborghini Temerario GT3 its second consecutive IMSA WeatherTech GTD Pro victory.

Caldarelli's 1:44.773 qualifying lap — the Temerario GT3's first-ever pole

Caldarelli qualified on pole with a lap of 1 minute, 44.773 seconds, then the car crossed the finish line 1.517 seconds ahead of the second-placed Ford Mustang for a complete pole-to-flag sweep.

Third in the GTD Pro standings with two rounds remaining

Caldarelli and Mitchell now sit unofficially third in the GTD Pro championship standings with Indianapolis and Petit Le Mans still to come, making a car that did not exist in competition six months ago a legitimate title contender.

Road-car architecture, race-proven at VIR

The Temerario GT3 shares its chassis and 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 architecture with the road car, so competition data from circuits like VIR feeds directly back into a platform that is actively being sold and developed.

Lamborghini's first fully in-house GT3 car rewrites the timeline

The Temerario GT3's trajectory from global debut at Sebring to dominant form in a handful of rounds is unusually steep for any new GT3 platform and speaks directly to the maturity of Lamborghini's first fully in-house race car.
