This event took place in Paul Ricard, a racing circuit located in the French city of Marseille. The Italian manufacturer, historically, has not been a racing enthusiast in terms of participation unlike the likes of Ferrari and Alfa Romeo. However, by participating in the Blancpain Endurance series, Lamborghini has tried to turn over a new leaf.

The laps covered by six drivers from the Lamborghini Squadra Corse, all of whom will be participating in the Blancpain Endurance Series. There were 45 other cars present at the racing session and it is being said that the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 performed really well and completed a high number of laps. This car is going to be tested one more time on 1st and 2nd April before finally entering the race, which takes place at Monza, on 12nd April.
Critics suggest that this competition will be really intense and the fight is going to be tough. Speaking about the event, Stephane Ratel, the Chief Executive Officer of SRO Motorsports Group, said, “At SRO we are obviously delighted that an ever increasing number of teams want to join our series. The introduction of prize money for all twelve rounds of the Blancpain GT Series has clearly had its effect on the level of the entries as well. Never before have we had the chance to welcome so many professional drivers as this year. This will only increase the competitiveness of the Series, a fact that we can only applaud. I wish all the new teams in the Blancpain GT Series a very warm welcome and am looking forward to the races. This will be an exciting season, of that I am absolutely convinced.”
