Lamborghini’s 2023 Super Trofeo Calendar Spans Four Continents and Marks a Pivotal Anniversary Season

18 Rounds, Three Series, and the Return of Asia

Lamborghini Squadra Corse confirmed the full 2023 Super Trofeo championship calendars in December, laying out 18 rounds across three continental series touching four continents. The calendar reads like a strategic blueprint for the brand’s 60th anniversary year: Super Trofeo Asia returns after a three-year absence, Super Trofeo Europe opens on an ACO (Automobile Club de l’Ouest) weekend for the first time in the championship’s history, and the Grand Finals come home to Italy for their 10th edition. None of these choices are accidental. Together they reveal a company using its longest-running one-make championship to project global ambition at a moment of maximum brand visibility.

The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, Lamborghini’s dedicated one-make race car built exclusively for this series and not street-legal in any market, remains the sole machinery on the grid. It is a pure racing tool, purpose-built by Squadra Corse around a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10. For the brand, the Super Trofeo series functions as more than a racing championship. It operates as a global customer engagement platform, a driver development pipeline, and a rolling showcase for what the Lamborghini badge means under competitive stress.

A 60th Anniversary Season Built Around Strategic Firsts

Lamborghini says the 2023 calendar was designed to align with its anniversary celebrations, and the track selections tell that story more clearly than any corporate statement could. The European series opens at Imola in May on an ACO weekend, placing Lamborghini’s customer racers alongside the European Le Mans Series paddock for the first time. ACO weekends attract endurance racing’s most dedicated audience, and positioning the Super Trofeo grid in front of those eyes sharpens the brand’s profile as it builds toward broader GT3 ambitions.

The North American series, entering its 11th season under the IMSA banner, adds Indianapolis Motor Speedway to the schedule for the first time. Running at the Brickyard carries symbolic heft in American motorsport that few other circuits can match. Meanwhile, the Asian championship opens at Sepang in Malaysia, the same circuit that hosted the very first Super Trofeo Asia round back in 2012. Bookending the return with a trip to the series’ birthplace is a deliberate nod to continuity.

Each of these firsts, and returns, reads as a calculated expansion of the series’ profile during a year when every Lamborghini activity carries anniversary branding. The pattern is consistent: place the cars on stages that amplify the brand’s reach, not just its lap times.

Asia’s Comeback Covers the Most Ground

The Asian calendar deserves particular attention because it is the most geographically ambitious of the three championships and the clearest expression of Lamborghini’s growth strategy. After Sepang, the series visits The Bend Motorsport Park in Adelaide, Australia, a new venue for Super Trofeo. From there it moves to Fuji Speedway in Japan, followed by an inaugural stop at Everland Speedway in South Korea, and a penultimate round in Shanghai before everyone converges on Vallelunga for the Grand Finals.

Five countries across the Asia-Pacific region in a single season. That breadth matters because Lamborghini’s sales growth in China, Japan, South Korea, and Australia over the past decade demands a corresponding motorsport presence. Customer racing programs function as brand theater for prospective buyers: seeing the cars compete locally, meeting the Squadra Corse team, and potentially stepping into the cockpit themselves. Ferrari runs a similar playbook with the Ferrari Challenge, and Porsche does the same with its Carrera Cup network. Lamborghini’s three-year gap in Asia left a hole in that ecosystem, and the 2023 calendar fills it aggressively.

For anyone considering entry into one-make racing, the Asian series now offers a genuinely diverse calendar that avoids the repetition of a single-country schedule. Lamborghini does not publicly disclose the full cost of a Super Trofeo season, but the financial commitment for teams and gentleman drivers is substantial, covering car lease or purchase, logistics, engineering support, and travel. The geographic spread of the Asian calendar will only add to those logistics costs, worth factoring in for anyone eyeing a seat.

Europe and North America: Familiar Circuits, New Wrinkles

Super Trofeo Europe, the longest-running of the three championships since its 2009 inception, retains its core identity while shuffling the deck. After the Imola ACO opener, the series moves to Paul Ricard in France, then to Spa-Francorchamps on the weekend of the Spa 24 Hours. Spa holds a unique distinction: it is the only circuit to appear on every Super Trofeo Europe calendar since the series began. The Nürburgring returns after a year’s absence, followed by Valencia (which hosted the Grand Finals in 2016) and the season closer at Vallelunga. Four of those five post-Imola rounds run on the SRO Motorsports support bill, keeping the series embedded in the GT racing ecosystem where its audience already congregates.

North America’s schedule leans into the IMSA partnership that gives the series credibility on American soil. Laguna Seca opens the season in mid-May, followed by Watkins Glen, Road America in Elkhart Lake, and Virginia International Raceway, a fixture on the calendar since 2013. The Indianapolis debut in September closes the American leg before teams ship their cars to Italy for the finale. For American enthusiasts who follow IMSA’s main series, seeing Super Trofeo cars at these events is a natural entry point into Lamborghini’s racing world. Across both continents, the logic is the same: attach the Super Trofeo grid to established motorsport audiences rather than asking fans to seek it out independently.

Vallelunga and the Grand Finals Homecoming

All three continental championships converge at Vallelunga, on the outskirts of Rome, for the Grand Finals on November 18-19. Lamborghini says Vallelunga hosted the event twice before, both in the series’ earlier years, and will become the first venue to hold it a third time. Bringing the 10th edition back to Italian soil during the 60th anniversary year is an obvious piece of brand storytelling, but it also serves a practical purpose: Vallelunga sits close enough to Sant’Agata Bolognese that Squadra Corse can run the event with maximum factory support.

The Grand Finals format, where regional champions race head-to-head, remains one of the series’ strongest selling points. It gives the entire season a clear narrative arc and a climactic weekend that justifies the travel, expense, and commitment of a full championship campaign. More than that, it reinforces the thesis running through the entire 2023 calendar: every round, every new venue, every returning market is designed to funnel toward a single global stage where the brand’s competitive community gathers under one roof.

What This Calendar Signals for Lamborghini’s Racing Future

The 2023 Super Trofeo season represents one of the final full campaigns for the Huracán platform in competitive trim. Lamborghini’s future Temerario GT3, widely reported to be the brand’s first competition car fully designed and built in-house, signals a generational shift. IMSA reports that Lamborghini officially unveiled the Temerario Super Trofeo as the next-generation one-make car, which means the Huracán’s tenure on these grids is approaching its conclusion.

That transition matters for current and prospective participants. Teams invested in understanding the Huracán’s naturally aspirated V10 characteristics will need to adapt to an entirely different powertrain philosophy. For collectors, the final-season Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 cars could carry additional desirability, particularly low-mileage examples from championship-winning campaigns.

In the broader competitive landscape, the Super Trofeo series continues to serve as Lamborghini’s answer to Ferrari’s Challenge series and Porsche’s Carrera Cup. Each brand uses its one-make platform to cultivate loyal customers, develop amateur and semi-professional talent, and build a global community around the act of racing its cars. Lamborghini’s 2023 calendar, with its deliberate geographic expansion and anniversary framing, suggests the company views this platform as central to its identity rather than peripheral to it. From Sepang to Indianapolis, Spa to Shanghai, the schedule offers 18 weekends to see these cars compete in person. The real message is plain enough: Lamborghini wants its racing footprint to be as global as its sales ambitions, and this anniversary season is the proof of intent.
