Lamborghini confident for success together with Rutronik Racing
Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer, Rouven Mohr, explained how the Temerario GT3 is going to have his debut year in GTWC Europe after 10 years of the Lamborghini Huracán. The Huracán was successful in the series with multiple titles, in both the Endurance and the Sprint cup, and it’s most recent win of the 24h of Spa this year. Mohr added that he is excited to compete with Rutronik Racing, strengthening Lamborghini’s competitiveness throughout the GTWC Europe field.
“The 2026 season marks the racing debut of the Temerario GT3 in a prestigious championship such as the GT World Challenge Europe. It is a series in which successive generations of the Huracán have been title contenders since 2015, and where Lamborghini has secured numerous titles across all categories, culminating in the recent victory at the 24 Hours of Spa.”
“For these reasons, we will even strengthen our competitiveness with a highly experienced and professional team such as Rutronik Racing. I am confident that together we will achieve new successes and tackle every challenge with determination.”
