GT3 presentation, ABS development and selfmade tuning parts: Busy off-season for Lambo-Racing

Untermerzbach/Germany, 17th January 2006 —— The off-season is no time to relax for the Lambo-Racing GmbH. The Untermerzbach-based squad is using the free time to add ABS to the Lamborghini Gallardo GTR: „ ABS will give us a big advantage, especially during tricky Eifel weather conditions“, explains driver Stephan Rösler.

Some weeks ago, the car had an exciting outing on the french Le Castellet circuit during the official FIA GT3 european series presentation. Driver Andreas Kitzerow was able to drive some fast laps on the french circuit: „Our four-wheel drive was a big advantage during the wet conditions. That’s why we were faster than Aston Martin, Maserati and Lotus. Four-wheel drive wont be legal in the GT3 championship but we wont enter our car there anyways”, explains Kitzerow. „It was fun to drive on another circuit and we showed the car can be competative outside the Nürburgring“, adds Rösler.

Owners of street legal Lamborghini Gallardos will now be able to improve their cars based on Lambo-Racing´s success: „We want other Gallardo drivers to benefit from our racing development . That’s why we are offering various tuning parts like exhausts, brakes, seats or body parts“, explains Kitzerow. A full listing of all available parts can be found on www.Lambo-Racing.de.

Development on the Gallardo GTR will continue until the start of the 2006 VLN season. The last season ended on a high with the first ever class win for the Gallardo, nevertheless both drivers are sure there’s much more to come: „The car’s potential is not yet reached, there’s still lots of development work to do.“ (Translation by Robert Prange)
