Though Mortara was entered for final weekend’s Daytona 24 Hours, he’s not included in Lamborghini’s line-up for the remainder of its marketing campaign within the endurance leg of the IMSA SportsCar Championship.

The GT3 programme that Lamborghini alluded to for Mortara now seems to be within the DTM, the place fellow works driver Bortolotti received the 2024 title in a factory-supported SSR Efficiency entry.
