Imperiale Racing Add A Lamborghini For Monza

Three years after the team’s last appearance in the International GT Open, Imperiale Racing will be back to compete in Monza, the final race weekend of the 2022 calendar this weekend.

The Italian team will field a Lamborghini Huracàn GT3 Evo for Alberto di Folco and James Roe Jr.

Di Folco is one of Imperiale Racing’s top drivers. He is contesting the Italian GT Sprint Championship this year and recently won the round in Imola, securing a result that keeps him in the fight for the drivers’ title.

Ex single-seater racer Roe Jr. made his GT debut with Imperiale at the latest round of the Italian GT Endurance Championship in Mugello and became part of the Junior program of the Italian team.

The GT Open’s last participation for the team dates back to May 2019 in Spa-Francorchamps where the team secured a podium in Pro-Am and got close to the overall pole position.

The debut of the team in the series took place in 2016 with third place in Monza, while 2017 and 2018 were the most successful years for the team. Imperiale Racing won the drivers’ title with Venturini and the Teams’ title in 2017, while in 2018 it continued the momentum with a complete programme claiming three wins and a second place.

Luca Del Grosso (Team Manager): “It is very exciting to be back in the International GT Open in a very intense season like 2022 and I want to thank Topcon Position Systems. They worked with us on this project. This year we are putting a lot of effort not only on the track but also into a lot of side activities like the growth program of our young drivers and the participation to the International series. After the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS in Misano, we will face another very high-level European stage and doing so with Alberto and James makes us proud. We recently improved the data on our simulator, which is another crucial tool to prepare at best the round of the GT Open in Monza”.
