Rutronik Racing plans to field a second Lamborghini in the GT World Challenge 2027

The partnership between Lamborghini and Rutronik Racing began in the 2026 season. The team will be competing in the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS with a Lamborghini Temerario GT3. The team, which won the Endurance Cup title in the highly competitive GT series in 2025, plans to build on this success in the long term.

This year, Rutronik Racing is fielding a Lamborghini Temerario GT3 in Europe’s leading GT racing series. The two Lamborghini works drivers, Luca Engstler and Patric Niederhauser, will drive the car for the entire season and will be supported by Marco Mapelli in the Endurance Cup races. The team has already made significant progress with the Temerario GT3 over the course of the season, with Engstler and Niederhauser securing the car’s first podium finish in the global GT World Challenge powered by AWS at Magny-Cours. The duo took to the podium once again in Barcelona.

Rutronik Racing and Lamborghini are planning to extend their partnership on a long-term basis for the 2027 season. The team will then compete in the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS with a second Temerario GT3. In addition to the Pro car, the team will field a car for customer drivers in another class. The team has already held a number of discussions with interested parties.

Team principal Klaus Graf: “We want to build on our collaboration with Lamborghini through a long-term partnership. In a very intense first year with the new Lamborghini Temerario GT3, we were able to make very positive progress on the project together with Lamborghini Squadra Corse and achieve our goals with the podium finishes in the second half of the season. We were aware that switching manufacturers in conjunction with the introduction of the new Temerario GT3 would be no easy task, so I am particularly pleased with what we have achieved.
By expanding the project to two cars in the GT World Challenge Europe, we aim to deepen our collaboration with Lamborghini even further. The successes of our customer cars in recent years have impressively demonstrated the value of our customer projects.”

Rutronik Racing will announce further details regarding the programme in the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS, as well as any potential additional racing programmes, at a later date.
