Three young Lamborghini Super Trofeo champions at the 24 Hours of Spa
Sant’Agata Bolognese, 17 July 2019. The 71st edition of the 24 Hours of #spafrancorchamps, the grand classic of #endurance #racing and pinnacle of the #blancpaingt Series #endurance Cup championship, will take place on 27 and 28 July. To strengthen the crews of its customer teams in the Silver Cup class, #Lamborghini Squadra Corse is adding a trio of young champions to the lineup: #giacomoaltoe, #andreaamici and #coreylewis.
Altoè, champion of the #Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe 2018, will race his second 24 Hours of Spa in the Huracán GT3 Evo #555 of the Orange1 FFF #racing Team, alongside regular drivers Michele Beretta, Diego Menchaca and Taylor Proto. “I am really grateful to #Lamborghini Squadra Corse and to the team for this opportunity,” commented the 18-year-old. “The 24 Hours of Spa is an iconic race, an #Event not to be missed. I met my teammates during the tests and right away an excellent climate was created. Now I’m focused and ready to face this new adventure.”
Amici, winner of last season’s #Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia, will alternate with Arno Santamato, Gerhard Tweraser and Lucas Mauron at the wheel of the Huracán GT3 Evo #19 of the GRT Grasser team. “For years I’ve been dreaming of #racing the 24 Hours,” stated the driver from Rome, “and now, thanks to Giorgio Sanna and #Lamborghini Squadra Corse, my dream will come true. #racing on a legendary circuit like Spa is always really exciting, but participating in the 24 Hours is a one-of-a-kind experience. I have full confidence in the Grasser team: the tests went well and the car is really fast. I think we’ll be able to bring home a good result, and I’ll give my all to help my teammates earn valuable points in the championship.”
Lewis, winner of the #Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America, will drive with Ombra #racing, alternating in car #12 with Denis Dupont, Dean Stoneman and Stefano Gattuso. “I am beyond excited for the opportunity to compete in my first Spa 24 Hours with Ombra #racing,” remarked the American driver. “Last year this team won the Silver Cup class, and I know we have the same goal for this year! We had a successful two-day test a few weeks back, and I think we are heading in the right direction for a solid race. I cannot thank #Lamborghini Squadra Corse enough for the opportunity, and I can’t wait to get this race week under way. I plan to make the most of it!”
The competition begins on Saturday 27 July at 4.30 pm, with a record number of 72 cars entered. A full eleven #Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evos will be on the starting grid, with the Orange1 FFF #racing and GRT Grasser teams lining up three cars in the PRO category.
