“I am delighted that Claudio is joining us as Director of Motorsport. He has a proven track record of not only setting up and managing the motorsport’s divisions within sportscar brands but also winning championships in GT racing and rallying. His skills will be very valuable as we look to return Lotus to high level motorsport around the world,” Dany Bahar said when announcing the appointment.
“Lotus has a peerless motorsport heritage, not just in Formula One, but we have also won in sportscar racing, saloon car racing, world rally championships, Le Mans and the Indy 500," the new director of Motorsports continued.
"There is no other car company in the world which can lay claim to so many accolades and championships in such a wide variety of motorsport fields, and I am looking forward to re-introducing Lotus to high level motorsport to not only compete and win but also to demonstrate the shared technology between Lotus sportscars and future racing cars.”
Prior to joining Lotus, Berro has been Operations Racing Director for the Speedcar Middle-East International Race Series, after spending 14 years at Ferrari, Maserati and Fiat and responsible for sport activities outside of F1 for Ferrari and Maserati.
