romain grosjean gets new driving gig to run alongside new indycar career with andretti

Romain Grosjean

French motorsport star Romain Grosjean will split his priorities next year between the IndyCar series and helping to improve Lamborghini’s new LMDh prototype. The 36-year-old, who was born in Switzerland, spent eight full seasons in F1 making 179 starts and finishing on four podiums with Lotus and then Haas.

Grosjean has had success in the Indycar series with three podiums in two year and will continue racing for Andretti Autosport when next season commences in March. Alongside that obligation the motorsport star will play a key role in developing the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) contender Lamborghini LMDh model.

Grosjean will be the third driver this year as part of the Lambo LMDh programme behind Mirko Bortolotti and Andrea Caldarelli this year along his duties testing the LMDh. The French driver will also compete in a ‘limited programme’ of GT events with the factory Iron Lynx squad.

The 36-year-old will then take a race seat in the developed LMDh in 2024 when Iron Lynx fields one of the new cars in each of the WEC and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championships. Grosjean will start his season at the Rolex 24 in Daytona, Florida, alongside Bortolotti and Caldarelli with their GT Daytona Pro class entry.

“For me, it is incredible to represent Lamborghini, especially now with endurance becoming a category with so many manufacturers, said Grosjean talking to Motorsport.com. “The negotiation that led me to sign with Lamborghini was very quick: one phone call with Giorgio Sanna (head of Lamborghini Squadra Corse), two or three e-mails and we were happy and agreed on everything.

“With Lamborghini being such a successful brand, I hope we can do well in the future.” The French driver is also expected to feature for the team at Sebring 12 Hours in March and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in October.

    Grosjean had previous experience in endurance racing during 2010 when he competed in the FIA GT1 World Championship taking two wins from 10 starts and was a non-finisher at 24 Hours of Le Mans in GT1 the same year. However, the driver says this year will be key for learning the North America endurance courses in the USA.

    He added: “The experience with the Huracan will serve me to gain experience and understand endurance in the United States. I know Le Mans, I know Spa, but I don’t know Daytona, Sebring and Petit Le Mans. It will be important to start this way, to build the relationship with the team and my teammates.”
