Lamborghini Squadra Corse driver Matteo Cairoli has confirmed his split with the Italian manufacturer after joining them at the end of 2023.
In an Instagram post, the 28-year-old said: “I want to thank all the people I met during my time at Lamborghini Squadra Corse.
“2024 represented a challenge for my career, and it was an intense 12 months in which I truly gave my best and where I feel I have grown as a person and as a driver.
“I am looking forward to get back on track for a new chapter in my career, which will be announced soon.”
The Lamborghini factory talent competed in the IMSA SportsCar Championship and European Le Mans Series.
He piloted both Huracan GT3 EVO2 and SC63 LMDh machinery, the latter of which became a focus of change at Lamborghini.
The LMDh programme was downsized solely for five IMSA Endurance Cup campaign rounds without any in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
At the 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours, he co-drove the #19 Lamborghini in the Hypercar category to 13th place with team-mates Andrea Caldarelli and Romain Grosjean.
He competed as a Porsche driver before he joined Lamborghini, having formerly won the Carrera Cup Italia title in 2014, in seven Le Mans starts for Project 1 and Dempsey Proton in Porsche 911 RSR GTE machinery.
As teased in his Instagram post, he is expecting to announce his next step and which manufacturer Cairoli will join in the next step of his racing career.
