Ryan Norman and Danny Formal closed off their Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season in winning fashion by coming out on top in Race 2 at Jerez, while champions were crowned in Pro-Am and Am.

Formal took the No. 101 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2 across the line 2.810 seconds clear of the Elias de la Torre-driven No. 129 TR3 Racing machine.

The No. 101 and No. 188 cars, driven by Norman and Ernie Francis Jr. for the opening stint, lept up to second and third place behind polesitter Edoardo Liberati at the start.

While Liberati maintained the lead even through a pair of safety car interventions, his Pro-Am co-driver Alberto Clementi Pisano dropped back as he took over for the second stint.

This allowed Formal to challenge Taurino for the lead of the race, successfully completing an overtake at Turn 2 with fifteen minutes remaining on the clock.

While Formal was then able to pull a gap, Taurino was also passed by de la Torre’ out of the final corner with under five minutes to go.

Taurino and Francis Jr., who completed the podium, already clinched the title by finishing second in Race 1 on Thursday.

Nico Jamin and Kiko Porto finished fourth for ANSA Motorsports, with stablemates Loris Cabirou and Bryson Morris completing the overall top five.

Clementi Pisano and Liberati took the Pro-Am victory in sixth overall, beating the No. 141 Flying Lizard Motorsports Lamborghini of Marc Miller and Paul Nemschoff by a tenth of a second.

However, the title in class was won by the No. 166 Forty7 Motorsports entry of AJ Muss and Joel Miller, which finished fifth in class.

Anthony McIntosh and Glenn McGee, meanwhile, claimed their second consecutive Am-class title by crossing the line ninth overall and securing a class victory.

RESULTS: Race 2
