Let Romain Grosjean Show You How Lamborghini's SC63 Hybrid Race Car Works

Former Formula 1 driver and current Lamborghini factory racer Romain Grosjean is taking on a new challenge this season: He’s one of a handful of drivers who will be putting the Lamborghini SC63 race car through its paces at endurance events in the IMSA and World Endurance Championship series. Let’s let him take us on a tour of the new machine, courtesy of Marshall Pruett and IMSA.

Before we dive in, let’s cover a few bases. The Lambo SC63 is a GTP car, which is the name for the current top class of sports car prototypes. IMSA and WEC designed their regulations together, which means the SC63 can compete in two different series. The car made its debut at WEC’s season opener in Qatar, where it finished 14th overall with drivers Mirko Bortolotti, Edoardo Mortara, and Daniil Kvyat. Over in IMSA, it took to the track for the first time at the 12 Horus of Sebring with Romain Grosjean, Matteo Cairoli, and Andrea Caldarelli. There, they placed seventh.

Now, let’s let Monsieur Grosjean show us what this lean mean green machine is all about:

Grosjean says the car has had “good development, but as with everything in racing, not enough time.” The project was first announced back in May of 2022, and while that might seem like plenty of time to get something built for 2024, it’s a pretty damn quick turnaround.
