The Lamborghini Temerario GT3 will debut at this weekend’s 12 Hours of Sebring and this week’s Racecraft & Race Cars Roundup has the details on how the car was developed and the goals of the GT3 program. I also have racecraft tips, how F1 drivers train and more!

Even If You Don’t Race in the Class, This Spec MX-5 Data Setup Tutorial Could Prove Invaluable
If your fun involves track time, there’s a good chance your fun also involves data acquisition. Diving into your data system’s settings to ensure you’re capturing everything you need can feel overwhelming, though, so while checking the internet for advice can prove useful, nothing is more effective than knowledge from absolute experts. To that point, while you may not compete in SCCA® Road Racing’s Spec MX-5 class, there’s a good chance you can learn a lot about correct data setup from Mazda Motorsports and AiM in their Spec MX-5 data setup guide – a guide that also touches on Flagtronics integration.
The SCCA website has all the details here.
Don’t Be Afraid of Your Fear
J.G. Pasterjak of Grassroots Motorsports explains how you don’t be afraid of your fear. “But before we get to it, let me preface by saying I’m not referring to fear in a pejorative sense. Rather, I’m using fear as a shorthand for the elemental response we all naturally have when confronted with a reality outside our normal understanding of the world–those moments when you’re beyond your ability to mentally and emotionally parse what’s happening and you have to make an adjustment.”
Welsh Teen Caleb McDuff Breaks Barriers in Motorsport While Inspiring Deaf Drivers
At just 16, Welsh racing driver Caleb McDuff has already achieved what most young drivers only dream of: competing in high-performance GT cars while being completely deaf, developing groundbreaking technology with his father, and inspiring the next generation of deaf racers in the UK and abroad.
On the starting grid of a GT race, every driver relies on split-second communication from their engineer. But for Caleb McDuff, that critical tool didn’t exist — because he is profoundly deaf.
From Pontypool, Caleb began racing karts at the age of four. For more than a decade, he competed relying solely on his instincts, visual awareness, and an extraordinary ability to sense the subtle movement of cars around him.
When he stepped into car racing at 16, the challenges intensified. Modern GT racing relies heavily on two-way radio communication for safety, strategy, and performance feedback. Without it, competing in professional cars would have been nearly impossible.
Rather than accept the barrier, Caleb and his father Ian built a bespoke communication system that connects race radios directly to Caleb’s cochlear implants. The system allows him to receive instructions and respond in real time — a breakthrough that has never been implemented in motorsport before.
The project has attracted recognition from the wider motorsport community. As Stephen Lickorish wrote in Autosport, such initiatives are helping “break down barriers to make motorsport more accessible.”
With this system in place, Caleb has progressed quickly through the ranks, already racing GT machinery including a McLaren GT4 and now aiming for the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain. His long-term ambition is to compete in the British Touring Car Championship.
Beyond the track, Caleb is also making an impact in education. He travels to schools across the UK to share his story with deaf students, demonstrating the communication system he developed and showing that motorsport and engineering are within reach.
Later this year, Caleb will travel to the United States to compete in the Veterans Race of Remembrance, racing alongside injured US military veterans with Resilience Racing. While there, he will also visit schools for deaf children to inspire and teach.
Caleb’s story combines human resilience, innovation, and sporting ambition in a way that resonates with motorsport fans of all kinds. Editors can access ready-to-use images, in-car footage, and interviews for coverage, making it a simple and compelling feature for their audience.

How to Train Like an F1 Driver
F1 drivers are among the fittest athletes in the world, requiring exceptional strength, endurance, and mental resilience to perform at mind blowing speeds. The Formula 1 website looks at how F1 drivers train.
“Peak physical conditioning is just the starting point. Drivers must prepare their bodies to withstand intense g-forces, maintain a finely balanced racing weight, and keep their reactions lightning fast. Not to forget they must manage all this all while keeping mental wellbeing, recovery and sleep firmly in check.”
Do These Things on Track Day
Brando Londono explains the what to do at a track day if you want to like an elite athlete.
The Off-Season Is the Secret Weapon
The Complete Race Driver explains how to prepare in the off-season. “The off-season is where races are actually won. Not with shiny parts. Not with frantic last-minute prep. But with clarity, confidence, and competence—the stuff that separates drivers who hope they’re ready from drivers who know they are.”

Lamborghini Temerario GT3: Inside the Making of a New Era
With the debut of the Temerario GT3 set for the 2026 12 Hours of Sebring, Lamborghini enters a new phase in its motorsport history, marking the first time a competition car has been entirely designed, developed and produced in-house from the very beginning. More than just a new race car, the Temerario GT3 represents the culmination of a strategic journey that has progressively reshaped Lamborghini’s approach to customer racing over the past decade.
“With Temerario GT3, we have reached full technical maturity in motorsport,” says the Chief Technical Officer Rouven Mohr. “For the first time, the car was designed, developed and engineered entirely in-house from day one. The integration between road car R&D and racing engineering allowed us to create a highly sophisticated and efficient platform that represents the third generation of Lamborghini GT3 cars.”
