Sant’Agata Bolognese, 22 November 2024 – Automobili Lamborghini has announced that it will pause its FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) sporting programmes at the end of the current season both in the Hypercar and LMGT3 classes.

Having made its debut in the FIA WEC earlier this year, Lamborghini came through a challenging and rewarding maiden season with the Lamborghini SC63 LMDh prototype, achieving a breakthrough top 10 finish at the Le Mans 24 Hours, entering the Hyperpole session at Fuji for the first time and achieving a podium finish in LMGT3 at Spa-Francorchamps.

Competing at the highest level is an honour for Lamborghini Squadra Corse and remains an ambition for the years to come. The change in the FIA WEC sporting regulations which now also mandates brands to field two cars in the Hypercar class from 2025 also changes the terms on which Lamborghini entered the championship this year and is no longer aligned with the company’s strategy.

Lamborghini has therefore evaluated its options and elected to sit out the 2025 FIA WEC while remaining committed to the SC63 development by continuing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in the United States.

The pause in the FIA WEC programme also allows Lamborghini Squadra Corse to focus efforts on the development of the new Temerario GT3 throughout the year, with the former set to be formally unveiled after completing outdoor testing during 2025.

Lamborghini Squadra Corse would like to express its thanks to both the Automobile Club de l’Ouest and the FIA for the opportunity to compete in the golden age for sportscar racing and for their support throughout the 2024 season.
