The third car will carry race number 60 in honour of Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary which is celebrated this year and will be raced by Riccardo Cazzaniga and Artem Petrov.
The team’s GT Cup entry will be driven by Ignazio Zanon and his team-mate will be confirmed shortly.

Vincenzo Sospiri: We are always very proud to represent Lamborghini in the Italian Championship. Last year we won the Endurance Championship and two years ago we toom the Sprint title. This year we have a mix of experienced GT racers and quick youngsters just starting out on their journeys with VSR and Lamborghini and I’m looking forward to another competitive season.
