Jake joins the Official Lamborghini 2015 Young Drivers Progamme  edited by Rob Allender

Sant’Agata Bolognese. Lamborghini Squadra Corse Young Drivers Program is again confirmed for this year. Dedicated to drivers under 26 who are performing exceptionally in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, the selected drivers will take a role in Lamborghini Squadra Corse test sessions. “Following the success of the 2014 Young Drivers Program that allowed us to select four drivers who this year are racing the two Huracán GT3s in the Blancpain Endurance Series, we decided to further invest in young talents. We thus created a GT3 Program for those more experienced drivers, and one in support of up and coming drivers in single-seater categories. Last but not least we offer these drivers a professional experience as instructors in Lamborghini Accademia and Esperienza driving courses,” stated Giorgio Sanna,  Automobili Lamborghini Head of Motorsport.

The Young Drivers Program will include eight drivers this year. Among  the  8 drivers selected  is 21 year-old Briton Jake Rattenbury, this year racing in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo North America. The others include Alberto Di Folco Europe PRO-AM champion and Edoardo Liberati (Italy) Patric Niederhauser (Swiss), Patrick Kujala (Finland) Roman Mavlanov (Russia), Shinya Michimi (Japan and Oliver Rae (Australia).  Starting from 2015, the Young Drivers Program drivers as well as those involved in the GT3 Junior Program will be an integral part of Lamborghini driving courses. After having being involved in the development of the new Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo, they will be selected as instructors in Esperienza and Accademia events all over the world.

The brand new Formula Junior Program starts this year, with an overview by Vincenzo Sospiri Racing.

Starting from this year, a physical training activity for all drivers joining the Lamborghini Squadra Corse programs will be carried out in collaboration with Transatlantic Fitness, a European company that represents the benchmark for technical and sporting training. Selected specialists will attend all Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo race weekends to provide assistance to all drivers involved. Moreover, during the test sessions, specific individual training courses will be realized via TRX® (a training tool designed to increase muscle strength) and Rocktape® (a company specializing in solutions for muscular training both for sport and therapeutic-rehabilitative needs).
