Super Trofeo Europe Reaches Season Midpoint at Spa

The Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe season reaches its halfway stage this weekend with Spa-Francorchamps set to produce action across a pair of 50-minute races. The title battles remain hotly contested heading into the weekend, with the top two in three of the four classes split by just one point.

Continuing the one-make championship’s long association with the SRO Motorsports Group, the third round of the year will once again take place on the support bill of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, scene of the historic victory for Grasser Racing Team in 2025 with the Huracan GT3 EVO2. This year marks the 24-hour race debut of the new Temerario GT3, which will be fielded by Grasser and Rutronik Racing.

DL Racing’s Kevin Gilardoni and Simone Iaquinta extended their lead at the top of the Pro standings after taking a fourth podium finish in as many races at Imola.

Thanks to their double victory in Italy, Oregon Team’s Silas Lovén Rytter and Patrik Fraboni are now the nearest challengers to Gilardoni and Iaquinta, just four points behind.

Rytter and Fraboni are in turn only two points ahead of Rexal Villorba Corse’s Benedetto Strignano and Nicholas Pujatti. The latter pairing won the opening race of the year at Paul Ricard and took second place in race two at Imola.

Outside of the top three, just ten points separate the next four crews, with Matias Salonen and Henri Tuomaala sitting fourth with 27 points, five ahead of Leipert Motorsport team-mates Månz Thalin and Axel Bengtsson.

Oregon Team’s Rogério Grotta and Alfio Andrea Spina enjoyed their best weekend of the year at Imola and are just a point back, with Nathanaël Berreby and Hugo Giraud four points further adrift after taking a fourth-place finish in race two in Italy.

The Pro-Am standings could not be closer heading into the halfway point of the year.

Anthony Pretorius and Bronislav Formánek (Mičánek Motorsport) lead the way after taking another podium finish at Imola but are only one point ahead of Josef Knopp and Pietro Perolini.

The Oregon team partnership claimed their first victory of the season in race one last time out, but themselves are only a point clear of ASR’s Paolo Biglieri and Marzio Moretti who twice finished second. Also in the mix is the second ASR pairing of Miloš Pavlović and Alessio Ruffini.

An additional three entries are expected in the class this weekend: Brendon Leitch (European Pro champion in 2023) will team up with American driver, Don Yount while Chris van der Drift (Asian Pro champion in 2023) is set to partner Super Trofeo Asia regular Hairie Zairel Oh. Meanwhile, Shota Abkhazava (2015 Am, 2019 Pro-Am and 2024 LB Cup champion) and 2024 Lamborghini World Finals winner Egor Orudzhev will make their first appearance of the season for Art-Line.

Things are equally close in the Am class, where GT3 Poland’s Grzegorz Moczulski leads the standings by a point from the Mičánek Motorsport combination of Jakub Knoll and Renaud Kuppens. Neither of the leading two crews took a victory at Imola, those went the way of Automobile Tricolore’s Raffaele Giannoni and GT3 Poland’s Andrzej and Adrian Lewandowski – who are not expected to be racing at Spa – and will therefore be keen to return to winning ways.

CMR will field a 100 percent Belgian line-up on home soil, with title contenders Stéphane Lemeret and Rodrigue Gillion joined by Frédéric Bouvy, will drive solo in the No. 9 Lamborghini. Another addition to the grid is Super Trofeo Asia Pro-Am points leader Todd Kingsford who will make his European debut with Leipert Motorsport

Another class and another one-point gap between the leading crews in Lamborghini Cup. Oregon Team’s Adalberto Baptista took his first win of the season in race two at Imola and heads Rexal Villorba Corse’s Claude-Yves Gosselin by a solitary point. Petar Matić (ASR) is third in the points standings, six points adrift and one ahead of ASR’s Umar Abdullah Basalamah.

Francesco Turzo is still looking for his first podium of the season for DL Racing, the Italian lies fifth in the standings, tied on points with the all-Danish DC Motorsport pairing of Peder Demand Møller and Nina Østergaard. Defending class champion Holger Harmsen is also on a roll of late, having taken a podium last time out. The experienced German is seventh in the standings, just nine points behind Baptista.

The Spa-Francorchamps circuit has a unique place in Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe folklore, as the only venue to have featured in every single edition since 2009.

It has also been the circuit that a number of drivers have claimed their maiden victories in the Pro class, most notably 2024 champion Amaury Bonduel, Milan Teekens and Marzio Moretti (in 2022), Cedric Wauters (2023), Jerzy Spinkiewicz and Silas Lovén Rytter and Anthony Pretorius (both in 2025).

Free Practice will kick off official track action on Thursday, with qualifying and Race 1 (5:10 p.m. CEST) set for Friday and Race 2 on Saturday (12:10 p.m. CEST). Both races will be streamed live on Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s YouTube channel.
