Lamborghini exec Giorgio Sanna and driver Andrea Caldarelli discuss their approach to the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Today, in a matter of hours and under similarly frigid conditions, the 2022 edition of the Rolex 24 at Daytona will commence with 230 drivers alternating through 61 cars, and all vying for their own motorsport immortality. Among the over 50 teams campaigning in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship series, of which Daytona starts off the season, is TR3 Racing.
For this contest, TR3 is entering a pair of the Raging Bull marque’s Huracán GT3 Evo race cars in two of the five classes that comprise the field: the GT Daytona Pro and the GT Daytona . The latter is one Lamborghini finished first in for three consecutive years, starting in 2018. As for the GT Daytona Pro class, TR3 earned pole position this week in qualifying.

How do you think he would view Squadra Corse today?Ferruccio was born a businessman, not a racer, but he was a passionate person who loved the emotion that motorsport could generate. I think he would be very proud.
