New Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 locked for Bathurst 12 Hour

THE AUSTRALIAN debut of Lamborghini’s latest and greatest Huracan GT3 EVO2 race car will take place at the 2024 Repco Bathurst 12 Hour.

Long-time Lamborghini racer and 12-Hour competitor Adrian Deitz has locked in his entry of a brand-new Huracan GT3 EVO2 for the February 16-18 event next year.

The car will again be fielded by Porsche and TCR championship-winning team Wall Racing, with Deitz to once again be joined in the squad for the third year running by David Wall, Tony D’Alberto and Grant Denyer.

Lamborghini’s Squadra Corse customer racing program will once again support the entry at the event, with the team to send their lead GT3 engineer to Australia for the race immediately following the Daytona 24 Hour next year.

Deitz’s new ride was completed in Europe this year before being shipped to Australia, where it arrived at Wall Racing in Sydney yesterday (Friday, 1 December). It’s the first EVO2 model in the Asia Pacific region.

The team will shake the car down this December before full preparation for the 12-Hour itself begins.

Deitz has entered the 12-Hour on four occasions, with his team finishing fifth outright in 2022.

The team was on for a similarly strong result this year, narrowly missing the Pirelli shootout for pole position before unfortunately being forced out of the race after completing 70 laps.

Famous for its incredibly popular livery, inspired by the Le Mans-contending BASF BMW, the Lamborghini has rapidly become a fan favourite each year, with Deitz promising that the team will go ‘all out’ to both recognise the new car while honouring the popularity of the existing model this year.

The team will release the final livery ahead of their first shakedown of the brand-new car in mid-December.
