The 2019 Factory Drivers of Lamborghini Squadra Corse
Lamborghini Squadra Corse announces its Factory Drivers for the 2019 season. The confirmed drivers are Mirko Bortolotti (2017 Blancpain GT Series champion and winner of the 2018 24 Hours of Daytona), Andrea Caldarelli (2017 Blancpain GT Series champion), #marcomapelli (record-holder at Nürburgring-Nordschleife with the Aventador SVJ), and #giovanniventurini (2017 GT Open champion), who will compete in the most prestigious international championships at the wheel of the new Huracán GT3 EVO, presented at Nürburgring on 15th September.
Joining them are two important new entries, British driver Phil Keen and French driver Frank Perera. Born in Reading on 20th October 1983, Keen was runner-up in the British GT in 2017 and in 2018. In the season just concluded, he earned two victories at the wheel of the Huracán GT3 number 33 of the Barwell Motorsport team. Born in Montpellier on 21th March 1984, Perera has competed in a number of international open-wheel and GT championships. Earlier this year, Perera won the Daytona 24 Hours at the wheel of the #11 Grasser Racing Team #lamborghini Huracán GT3.
Raffaele Giammaria is confirmed in the role of test driver and coordinator of the Young Driver Program and the GT3 Junior Program. In regard to the professional growth of young talents, by the end of this year #lamborghini Squadra Corse will organize a shootout, with the participation of the most promising drivers of the GT3 program who stood out over the course of the season. The best driver will receive support from #lamborghini Squadra Corse during 2019.
Lamborghini Squadra Corse also announces that #christianengelhart will no longer be a Sant’Agata Bolognese Factory Driver.
Giorgio Sanna, Head of Motorsport #lamborghini, commented: “We are pleased to announce our Factory Drivers, who in 2019 will apply all their experience to support the GT3 customer teams competing in the most prestigious GT championships in the world. I extend my welcome to Squadra Corse to Phil and Franck: in the last few seasons they have demonstrated that they have the speed and attitude that #lamborghini expects from an official driver”.
