In other Lambo news, the Italian manufacturer announced a while back that in addition to its Formula Junior, Young Driver and GT3 Junior programmes, it would also launch a karting initiative as well.
The first training session took place at the Adria International Raceway this week, at which 14-year-olds Justas Jonusis and Muiz Gafar, 20-year-old Cristopher Zani and 29-year-old Mauro Simoni were selected for the programme.
In partnership with five-time karting world champion Danilo Rossi and his company DR Racing Kart, the programme aims to set more drivers on a path towards racing in GT series across the globe.
Lambo’s Head of Motorsport Giorgio Sanna said: “Ever more frequently young drivers approach the world of GT competitions with interest, because they are aware that this category represents a solid alternative to open wheels.
“The Kart Drivers Program therefore aims at introducing the world of Gran Turismo to the young drivers who are undertaking a career in motorsport.”
