Lamborghini Squadra Corse has confirmed its continuing commitment to supporting promising youngsters in motorsport, with its 2016 GT3 Junior Program. Several of those young talents will be active in the 2016 Blancpain GT Series.
Launched in 2015, it is the official program of Lamborghini’s racing department, with the aim of supporting young drivers along a development path to experience the main GT races worldwide.
The 2016 edition of the GT3 Junior Program has developed to include 19 drivers (eight in 2015), 13 of whom come from the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, thus taking the leap from the wheel of the Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo to the Lamborghini Huracán GT3.
All drivers will take part in major 2016 GT championships with the Huracán GT3, a car which is enjoying successful sales and has given Lamborghini Squadra Corse the opportunity of increasing its GT3 Junior Program squad.
The Lamborghini Junior Drivers that will be competing in this year's Blancpain GT Series are Italians Michele Beretta (22) and Daniel Zampieri (26), Swiss driver Patric Niederhauser (25), Germans Nici Pohler (22) and Luca Stolz (22), and Dutch duo Max Van Splunteren (20) and Jeroen Mul (26).
