Lamborghini’s factory GTP drivers are setting “realistic” targets for the SC63 at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, marking a fresh start after scaling back the LMDh effort to five IMSA races. With the WEC Hypercar and LMGT3 programs shelved and technical support from Riley, the focus is on standout results in North American endurance racing. The timing of the race coincides with Maurizio Leschiutta’s appointment as Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s motorsport boss, crucial for the brand’s future racing strategy. Stability and direction are essential for the SC63 program, which faced challenges in its debut season due to a truncated developmental program and lack of breakthrough results. Both drivers, Edoardo Mortara and Mirko Bortolotti, prioritize finishing the race reliably over immediate competitiveness, highlighting the need for a steady performance at Daytona to secure the program’s future.
