WEC News: Lamborghini has withdrawn completely from WEC

Lamborghini has withdrawn completely from the FIA World Endurance Championship after the series reneged on the number of cars each manufacturer had to enter.

The Italian manufacturer was missing from the 2025 WEC entry list on the publication of the reduced 37-car grid for next season on Friday.

Lamborghini cited the change in sporting regulations mandating that manufacturers competing in Hypercar must run two cars for its decision after fielding only one SC63 with its partner, Iron Lynx, in 2024.

It stated that the new regulation “changes the terms on which Lamborghini entered the championship this year and is no longer aligned with the company’s strategy”.

“Lamborghini has therefore evaluated its options and elected to sit out the 2025 FIA WEC while remaining committed to SC63 development by continuing in the IMSA SportsCar Championship in the United States,” its statement read.

It hinted at a desire to return to the WEC with the SC63 with the line “competing at the highest level is an honor for Lamborghini Squadra Corse and remains an ambition for the years to come”.
