Super Trofeo Wraps Up Domestic Leg This Weekend at Indy

Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America wraps up the domestic portion of its season with the latest iconic race track on the calendar: Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The visit to The Brickyard’s 2.439-mile road course this weekend follows stops this year at four other popular and challenging U.S. circuits – Sebring International Raceway, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen International and Circuit of The Americas.

The races on Friday and Saturday at Indy will determine who has the edge heading into the final doubleheader round of the IMSA-sanctioned single-make series that takes places Nov. 14-15 at Jerez ahead of the Nov. 16-17 World Finals gathering Super Trofeo competitors from North America, Europe and Asia.

Record-setting grids raced at two North American locations this season. Forty cars competed at WeatherTech Raceway in May, only to be outdone by 43 entries at COTA over Labor Day weekend. Thirty-six cars are on the Indianapolis pre-event entry list.

Championships in all four Super Trofeo classes remain up for grabs.

No leader has more than an eight-point advantage, and with points earned ranging from 15 for a class race win to one point for 10th in class (plus a point earned for each class pole position), the battles remain wide open.

***Pro class: Ernie Francis Jr. and Giano Taurino (No. 88 TR3 Racing Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2) regained the Pro class lead at COTA but are just six points ahead of Danny Formal and Ryan Norman (No. 1 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti) as Norman chases a third consecutive Pro class title. Kiko Porto and Nico Jamin (No. 4 ANSA Motorsports) are 11 points from the lead.

***Pro-Am class: With a pair of ProAm wins at COTA, Nate Stacy and Nick Persing (No. 8 WTRAndretti) took the class lead by two points over AJ Muss and Joel Miller (No. 66 Forty7 Motorsports).

***Am class: The same happened for Anthony McIntosh and Glenn McGee (No. 69 WTRAndretti) in the Am class. Their two COTA wins launched the defending class champions to the top of the standings, three points better than Dominic Starkweather (No. 47 Precision Performance Motorsports).

***LB Cup: Nick Groat (No. 57 One Motorsports) has the largest advantage of any class leader, though with a pair of wins at COTA, Rodrigo Vales (No. 34 TR3 Racing) closed within eight points of Groat.
