Lamborghini has revealed its lineup of Super Trofeo and GT3 junior drivers that have been chosen to take part in a season-long assessment program with a chance to compete in a shootout for manufacturer backing at the end of the year.

A total of 37 drivers (28 from Super Trofeo, nine from GT3) have been selected and will be monitored and assessed with specific evaluations on performance (single lap pace and average speed), progression, consistency over the course of a weekend, experience, professionalism, technical feedback and attitude both at and away from the circuit.

The standout drivers will then be chosen to take part in a dedicated shootout held after the Lamborghini World Finals event. Both the winner of the Super Trofeo and GT3 Junior Driver Program shootouts will go on to receive factory support from Squadra Corse during the 2025 season.

Last year’s Super Trofeo Junior shootout was won by Ugo de Wilde and Marzio Moretti, who both form part of this year’s GT3 Junior intake, while Loris Spinelli was promoted to Lamborghini factory driver after winning the GT3 shootout.

Representation in this year’s GT3 Junior pool comes from the Italian GT Championship, ADAC GT Masters, Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS, DTM and International GT Open.

In addition to De Wilde and Moretti, notable names include DTM race winner Luca Engstler and European Le Mans Series LMP3 race winner Antoine Doquin.

They are joined by Riccardo Cazzaniga, Simon Connor Primm, Jacopo Guidetti, Artem Petrov and Gilles Stadsbader.

Most of the Super Trofeo drivers in the Young Driver pool come from the European championship, including Largim Ali, Giorgio Amati, Ibrahim Badawi, Loris Cabirou, Leonardo Caglioni, Georgi Dimitrov, Hampus Ericsson, Andrea Frassineti, Jachym Galas, Enzo Geraci, Giuseppe Guirreri, Riccardo Ianniello, Joran Leunetre, Lola Lovinfosse, Matej Pavlicek, Jacob Riegel, Jesse Salmenautio, Jerzy Spinkiewicz, Rodrigo Testa and Laszlo Toth.

Five drivers (Luke Berkeley Shehan Chandrasoma, Bryson Morris, Francisco Porto and Jake Walker) have been selected from Super Trofeo North America while Emilien Carde, Gavin Huang and Charles Leong Hon Chio complete the pool from the Asian championship.
