While it would undoubtedly be great to see Romain Grosjean driving this Countach LPI 800-4 in a hypothetical one-make series, he will have other duties at Lamborghini Squadra Corse. In an announcement today, the racing division of Sant’Agata Bolognese has hired the Franco-Swiss veteran of 179 Formula 1 starts as the official factory driver of Italian racing team Iron Lynx.
His debut will take place at the end of January 2023 during the 24 Hours of Daytona at the wheel of the Huracan GT3 EVO2 with fellow Lamborghini factory drivers Andrea Caldarelli and Mirko Bortolotti. He will also be busy next year as a test driver for Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s yet to be unveiled Le Mans Daytona hybrid prototype. He will be able to race the LMDh machine in 2024 in the FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship.

In an interview with our sister site Motorsport.comRomain David Jeremie Grosjean, 36, said: “For me it’s amazing to represent Lamborghini, especially now that endurance is becoming a category with so many manufacturers. The negotiation that led me to sign with Lamborghini was very quick: a phone call with Giorgio Sanna [Head of Lamborghini Squadra Corse], two or three e-mails and we were happy and agreed on everything. With Lamborghini being a successful brand, hopefully we can do well in the future.”
After exiting F1 in 2020 after leaving Haas, Grosjean joined IndyCar and competed for Dale Coyne Racing in 2021 before signing with Andretti Autosport for 2022 and beyond. Lamborghini Squadra Corse says it will compete in further endurance events next year, with a full schedule to be announced in due course. He is expected to take part in the 12 Hours of Sebring in March as well as Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in October.
As for racing cars, we will remind you that the Huracan GT3 EVO2 uses the well-known naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine, while the 2024 Lamborghini LMDh will rely on a newly developed twin-turbo V8 hybrid.
