One-Make Race with the Huracán GT3 EVO
Lamborghini is finally making its debut in esports, a field currently capturing global attention. "The Real Race" is a new sim racing experience that blends the real and virtual worlds.
"Assetto Corsa Competizione" is a game developed in collaboration with manufacturers. Lamborghini provides its latest racing series platform for the game, which is also used by Lamborghini's official test drivers for practice before driving on actual circuits.
In this one-make race, where competitors use the same car model, the Huracán GT3 EVO will be featured. However, the conditions will not be entirely identical. Lamborghini's design department, Centro Stile, has created 12 customizable liveries. These liveries feature logos from Lamborghini's partners, such as Pirelli and the Swiss luxury watch brand Roger Dubuis.
Although the race began on May 29, qualifying rounds will be held over five weekends until August 2. The top three drivers from the qualifying rounds in weeks 1 and 5, and the top two drivers from weeks 2 through 4, will earn the right to compete in the final race on September 18 to determine the best driver.
Furthermore, the top three finishers in the final tournament will be invited to Lamborghini's home in Italy for a three-day training program with drivers from Lamborghini Squadra Corse. They will also have the opportunity to drive a real Lamborghini race car on an internationally renowned racetrack.
This race welcomes participants regardless of prior experience. With real-world races on hold, "The Real Race" offers a chance to once again experience the joy of participating and the excitement of spectating.
