Romain Grosjean’s Journey with Lamborghini Comes to an End
Romain Grosjean has officially ended his collaboration with Lamborghini after representing the brand for three years. His partnership primarily revolved around his participation in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, where he showcased his skills and dedication over the course of multiple seasons.
Grosjean first joined forces with the Italian manufacturer at the start of 2023. During that year, he competed in the GTD Pro class using a Huracan GT3 Evo2 at prestigious events such as the Daytona 24 Hours and Sebring 12 Hours. This marked the beginning of a significant chapter in his career, as he became an integral part of Lamborghini’s development efforts.
The same year, Grosjean played a crucial role in helping Lamborghini develop the SC63 Hypercar. This vehicle was designed for the brand’s dual campaign in the World Endurance Championship and the IMSA enduros scheduled for 2024. His involvement in this project highlighted his technical expertise and commitment to the team’s goals.
As a result of his contributions, Grosjean earned a seat in Lamborghini’s IMSA programme. His performance culminated in a fourth-place finish at Petit Le Mans last month. Additionally, he was part of Lamborghini’s expanded line-up for the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2024, where he finished 13th alongside teammates Andrea Caldarelli and Matteo Cairoli. These achievements underscored his growing reputation as a skilled and reliable driver.
The Shift in Lamborghini’s Strategy
The announcement of Grosjean’s departure comes amid a strategic shift for Lamborghini. The brand has decided to pause its LMDh programme and redirect its focus towards the new Temerario GT3 in 2026. This decision follows the Volkswagen Group-owned marque’s withdrawal from the World Endurance Championship (WEC) after just one season in 2025. The move was influenced by a new rule requiring each manufacturer to enter two cars in the Hypercar class.
Lamborghini expressed its gratitude for Grosjean’s contributions in a statement, reflecting on the journey they shared. “From his first laps in Almeria in 2023, when he officially drove the Lamborghini SC63 for the first time, to the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2024, the journey has been filled with emotions and milestones,” the statement read. It also highlighted the team’s achievements during the 2025 IMSA season, particularly their fourth-place finish at Road Atlanta. “It continued in the 2025 IMSA season, culminating at Road Atlanta, where the team earned a well-deserved fourth place — a testament to their resilience, growth, and determination.”
The statement concluded with a heartfelt farewell: “But now it’s time to say goodbye… Thank you, Romain, for the passion, talent, and commitment you brought to the track with us. See you on the asphalt!”
What’s Next for Romain Grosjean?
While the future remains uncertain for Grosjean, his career trajectory has always been marked by adaptability and ambition. After leaving Formula 1 at the end of 2020, he spent four seasons competing in IndyCar with various teams. However, he shifted his focus to sportscar racing this year after losing his seat at Juncos Holinger Racing.
Grosjean’s experience and expertise in high-performance motorsport make him a valuable asset to any team. As he moves forward, it will be interesting to see which direction his career takes next. Whether it’s another factory team, a privateer entry, or even a new challenge altogether, one thing is clear—his passion for racing remains undiminished.
