Lamborghini's First Daytona 24 Hours Victory Changed Everything

Grasser Racing Team's Huracán GT3 delivered Lamborghini its inaugural GTD class win at one of the world's most demanding endurance races.

Grasser Racing Team fielded Lamborghini Factory Driver Mirko Bortolotti, Young Driver Rik Breukers, Franck Perera, and Rolf Ineichen to secure Lamborghini's first GTD victory at the 24 Hours of Daytona.

Proving the V10 architecture under pressure

Surviving 24 hours of flat-out racing on Daytona's punishing tri-oval and infield combination validated the Huracán GT3's V10 architecture, chassis rigidity, and cooling systems in a way no press event ever could.

Engineering depth behind the result

Cooling system upgrades, sequential gearbox calibration for sustained high-load running, and fuel system reliability over hundreds of pit cycles were all areas where Squadra Corse invested heavily to make a 24-hour finish possible.

Customer teams as the backbone of the strategy

Lamborghini built its GT3 program around supporting independent customer teams with a competitive, reliable car, rather than fielding a single expensive factory effort, because the United States is Lamborghini's largest single market and American buyers tend to respond to racing success more directly than European customers.

More than raw pace

The Huracán GT3 platform offered a combination of driver confidence, mechanical sympathy, and race-day adaptability that allowed different teams and driver lineups to extract winning results.

Two Huracáns on the Daytona GTD podium

Paul Miller Racing's #48 Huracán GT3 finished third in the same GTD class, with Lamborghini Factory Driver Andrea Caldarelli joined by Bryan Sellers, Madison Snow, and Brice Miller, putting two Lamborghinis on the podium.

Three consecutive GTD wins at Daytona

Lamborghini went on to win the GTD class at Daytona three consecutive years, from 2018 through 2020, with Paul Miller Racing taking the 2020 edition, turning a single breakthrough into sustained dominance.
