VSR has revealed the driver line-ups for their two-car GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup programme.
VSR, which stands for Vincenzo Sospiri Racing, will field a pair of Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2s in the championship, including their maiden entry into the Pro class.
Lamborghini Squadra Corse factory drivers Marco Mapelli, Sandy Mitchell and Franck Perera will share the #163 Huracán in Pro. The trio raced for K-Pax Racing in 2023, whilst Mapelli and Perera also finished second in the championship last season driving for GRT – Grasser Racing Team.
Michele Beretta, Alessio Deledda and Finlay Hutchison are set to share the #60 Huracán in the Silver Cup.
Beretta, a former class winner at the 24 Hours of Spa, competed in the Endurance Cup for Haupt Racing Team last season, finishing third in the Gold Cup.
Deledda is making his first GT World Challenge Europe start since a one-off appearance at the Misano Sprint Cup round in 2023. Last year, the Italian was a race winner in GT Open, driving a Huracán for Oregon Team.
Hutchison is returning to the Endurance Cup after a season away. The British driver finished second in the Silver Cup in 2023, after taking four podium finishes in five races.
This is VSR’s first full season in the Endurance Cup since 2022, although they did make a one-off appearance at the 2023 24 Hours of Spa. Last year, the Italian outfit focused on GT World Challenge Asia, taking three class victories including overall honours at Okayama.
“The GT World Challenge Endurance Cup is one of the toughest GT championships in the world,” said team principal Vincenzo Sospiri.
“I’m proud to have two cars on the grid in this very competitive series and look forward to my team and drivers taking on the challenge of racing against the very best. As always a huge thank you to Lamborghini Squadra Corse for their support.”
The 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup begins with a six-hour race at Circuit Paul Ricard on 11/12 April.
