We realised pretty quickly, that the car is almost fully developed from a technical point of view. We received amazing support from Lamborghini and were able to work well even ahead of the first test thanks to the experience we received. At the first tests, we didn't face any technical issues. We received very good and detailed feedback from our drivers. With this information and the collected data, we continuously improved the car's performance. I am very pleased to confirm Mikael as our driver. Now we are looking at a few weeks preparation at Safenwil before the season starts – we are ready.” Jürg Flach, Technical Director Emil Frey Racing “The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO is a very well and fully designed product, however, we still need to understand the characteristics and specifics of the car in order to find the right Set-up for different race tracks. We chose Barcelona, Monza and Spa for our test program as they are part of our racing calendar whilst also featuring High, Low and Medium Downforce. The Lamborghini feels at home on every track and after our experience it has a lot of potential. We are pleased with the results to date and are optimistic for the new season.”
