Cairoli, who is contracted by Porsche but doesn’t have factory driver status, could fill one of the two remaining seats in Lamborghini’s LMDh programme that will span the endurance leg of IMSA and the full World Endurance Championship season in 2024.
The Italian got to sample the under-development Lamborghini SC63 LMDh for the first time in a private test at Jerez last month, where he was joined by Mahindra Formula E driver Edoardo Mortara.
The 27-year-old couldn’t comment on suggestions that he will be joining Lamborghini next year, but did admit to Autosport that he drove the SC63 in Spain.
“I just can say that I tried a car, I enjoyed the test but not more than this,” he said.
Cairoli revealed that his 2024 racing programme will be based in the US, suggesting he will be leaving the World Endurance Championship after six seasons to move to IMSA.
The new Lamborghini LMDh will make its IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup debut at the Sebring 12 Hour in March 2024 after skipping the Daytona 24 Hours season opener in January.

“I think it's a bit too early to speak as my programme is not really confirmed yet and there are some things going on behind my career,” he said.
“I can tell you that I will probably more on the US side next year, not in Europe.”
