Romain Grosjean exits Lamborghini after 2025 IMSA season

With Lamborghini halting its LMDh programme, Romain Grosjean will be heading for new pastures in 2026

Romain Grosjean has parted ways with Lamborghini after representing the brand for three years, primarily in the IMSA SportsCar Championship.

Grosjean first joined forces with the Italian manufacturer at the start of 2023, racing a Huracan GT3 Evo2 in the GTD Pro class at Daytona 24 Hours and Sebring 12 Hours.

The same year, he helped Lamborghini develop the SC63 Hypercar for its twin campaign in the World Endurance Championship and the IMSA enduros in 2024.

That led to Grosjean earning a seat in Lamborghini's IMSA programme, culminating in a fourth-place finish at Petit Le Mans last month. He was also a part of Lamborghini’s expanded line-up for Le Mans 24 Hours in 2024, finishing 13th along with team-mates Andrea Caldarelli and Matteo Cairoli.

The news of Grosjean’s exit follows the announcement that Lamborghini will pause its LMDh programme and shift focus to the new Temerario GT3 in 2026. The Volkswagen Group-owned marque had already pulled out of the WEC after a single season in 2025, citing a new rule that requires each manufacturer to enter two cars in the Hypercar class.

“From his first laps in Almeria in 2023, when he officially drove the Lamborghini SC63 for the first time, to the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2024, the journey has been filled with emotions and milestones,” Lamborghini said in a statement.

“It continued in the 2025 IMSA season, culminating at Road Atlanta, where the team earned a well-deserved fourth place — a testament to their resilience, growth, and determination.

“But now it’s time to say goodbye... Thank you, Romain, for the passion, talent, and commitment you brought to the track with us. See you on the asphalt!”

It’s unclear where Grosjean is headed following his departure from Lamborghini’s factory stable. Following his departure from Formula 1 at the end of 2020, the Frenchman spent four seasons racing in IndyCar with a number of teams, but switched focus to his sportscar racing commitments this year after losing his seat at Juncos Holinger Racing.
