Unlike his arch-enemy from Ferrari, Don Ferruccio Lamborghini wasn't exactly a fan of motorsport over the years he was at the helm of the carmaker he created, which is probably why Lamborghini's racing history is almost empty.
Now under Audi's umbrella, the Sant'Agata Bolognese maker of supercars has an entire department dedicated to racing activities, including a customer driving program, GT3 racing, and last but certainly not least, the Super Trofeo series.
Lamborghini Squadra Corse already had a Young Drivers Program, Formula Junior Program, and GT3 Junior Program, but it has now decided to venture into a Kart Drivers Program as well.
The new initiative was apparently taken to support even younger drivers to pursue a career in motorsport, hopefully driving something with an angry bull as the emblem in the future.
“The Kart Drivers Program is another milestone in our training programs for youngsters, which aim to select the best drivers who decide to invest in our motorsport programs to further their racing careers. Every young driver has the ambition to reach the pinnacle of the open-wheel Formula, but the GT world is a solid alternative to becoming a professional racing driver. Lamborghini Squadra Corse wants to help the most deserving youngsters in achieving this dream.” said Giorgio Sanna, Head of Lamborghini's Motorsport.
Lamborghini Squadra Corse has teamed up with DR Racing Kart, which is headed by Danilo Rossi, five-time kart world champion and now a maker of kart frames.
The best-performing young racers will then have the option of climbing through every racing step towards the pinnacle motorsport series. After karting, they could go onward to a training category within Lamborghini's Formula Junior Program.
From there, the sky is the limit, since the best of them will get the opportunity to test and actively participate in the development of the Huracan LP 620-2 Super Trofeo. Only a few will probably graduate to become members of the GT3 Junior Program, but even that can be considered as a launching ramp towards professional racing.
