Lamborghini Signs Romain Grosjean as a Factory Driver

The introduction of new sports prototype categories has enticed several manufacturers, including Lamborghini, to build new cars in an attempt to win some of the sport’s most prestigious races. The revitalization of sports prototype racing has in turn created a demand for high-level drivers to race these cars. Lamborghini has enlisted the services of Romain Grosjean, IndyCar star and ten-season F1 veteran.

Lamborghini Squadra Corse has announced what Romain Grosjean’s duties will entail with the Italian manufacturer in 2023. Grosjean will balance this role with his full-time seat in the IndyCar Series with Andretti Autosport. He will serve as a test driver for the Iron Lynx-operated Lamborghini LMDh prototype alongside Andrea Caldarelli and Mirko Bortolotti. The prototype will compete in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship starting in 2024. However, all three drivers will race a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 in 2023 with Iron Lynx, beginning with January’s Rolex 24 at Daytona. Their full 2023 race program will be revealed at a later date.
