Cairoli splits with Lamborghini Squadra Corse

Matteo Cairoli has parted ways with Lamborghini Squadra Corse with immediate effect.

The 28-year-old Italian, who was previously a member of Porsche’s factory driver stable, switched brands at the end of 2023 to take up a factory role with the Italian marque for the 2024 season.

Last year Cairoli formed part of the Iron Lynx IMSA GTP effort with the SC63 and made a start at Le Mans in Hypercar (main image) alongside the full-season FIA WEC car.

Now though, with the SC63 program scaled back to just a single car for the five IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup rounds, he’s off to pastures new. RACER understands that he has been courted by multiple brands in recent months.

“I want to thank all the people I met during my time at Lamborghini Squadra Corse,” he said. “2024 represented a challenge for my career, and it was an intense 12 months in which I truly gave my best and where I feel I have grown as a person and as a driver.

“I am looking forward to getting back on track for a new chapter in my career, which will be announced soon.”
