This article is about the team competing in Formula Virtual. For the team that competes in eVirtual please see Lamborghini eVirtual Team.

Lamborghini Squadra Corse, a brand of Lamborghini Automobili, is an Italian Formula Virtual team and engine manufacturer with bases in Ancona and Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. The team was founded by Piercarlo Caliri as Scuderia Meteor who later sold the team to Lamborghini in 2022.

Origins

The current Lamborghini team can trace its origins back to the Meteor Motorsport outfit that made its debut in 2013, the inaugural season of Formula Virtual, before becoming Peugeot in 2014 then Meteor International in 2015. Kazuki Armos, who founded Meteor in 2013, sold the team to the Caliri family in late 2019 and they were subsequently rebranded as Scuderia Meteor as Piercarlo Caliri moved the team to Ancona, Italy, where his company was located. Shane O'Connell was installed as Team Principal with Caliri's son, Guido Caliri, being named Deputy Team Principal.

Little success followed over the next three seasons as the team floundered and gained a reputation for having more controversies and legal disputes than race starts - racking up an incredible 68 DNQs; at one point Scuderia Meteor failed to make a V-Prix in over 16 months. Eventually, after this embarrassing period during which fans of Formula Virtual were calling for the team to be banned from the series, Caliri sold the team to Automobili Lamborghini who had been supplying Scuderia Meteor with engines during Caliri's tenure.
