Three Continents, One Car: The Huracán GT3's 2018 Breakthrough

In a single race weekend, Lamborghini customer teams won or podiumed at Suzuka, Watkins Glen, and Interlagos.

FFF Racing Team's Martin Kodric and Dennis Lind took their first win of the Blancpain GT Series Asia season at Suzuka, extending a championship lead already built on three podiums heading into round six.

The program behind the car

Lamborghini Squadra Corse designed the Huracán GT3 program around a specific bet: that privateer teams scattered across different time zones, running different series under different regulations, could win consistently with factory support delivered at arm's length.

Lamborghini against established GT3 rivals

Enthusiast forums describe the Huracán GT3 as well-balanced and stable under acceleration, though some note it can be track-dependent and occasionally prone to sharp oversteer off-throttle.

The competitive landscape the Huracán GT3 entered

Ferrari's 488 GT3 and Porsche's 911 GT3 R dominated grid counts worldwide by 2018, and both manufacturers invested heavily in privateer support infrastructure, making Lamborghini's results disproportionately valuable for brand positioning.

Paul Miller Racing's fifth podium of 2018

Bryan Sellers and Madison Snow brought their Paul Miller Racing Huracán GT3 home third in the GTD class at the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen, collecting their fifth podium of the campaign.

The Huracán platform that launched a GT3 dynasty

Ferrari and Porsche both had deeper motorsport histories when the Huracán GT3 first raced in April 2015, winning at Monza on debut with Grasser Racing Team's Andrew Palmer, Fabio Babini, and Jeroen Mul.

Privateer validation of Squadra Corse

Paul Miller Racing went on to hold the GTD drivers', teams', and manufacturers' championship leads through the end of the 2018 season, validating Squadra Corse's entire customer racing approach against factory-backed Ferrari and Porsche entries.

Lamborghini's racing lineage leads to the Temerario GT3

Andrea Caldarelli, Marco Mapelli, and Orange 1 FFF Racing nearly swept all six overall Blancpain GT Series titles in 2019, and the platform's successor, the Temerario GT3, is slated to arrive in the first quarter of 2026.
