A New Global Footprint for Lamborghini’s One-Make Series
Lamborghini Squadra Corse confirmed the 2024 Lamborghini Super Trofeo racing calendar across all three continental championships, and the schedule reads like a deliberate escalation. Four rounds of the European series will run on the support bill of the FIA World Endurance Championship. The North American series deepens its existing partnership with IMSA. And the headline act: for the first time in the series’ 15-year history, Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 race cars will take to the Circuit de la Sarthe as a support race for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That Le Mans appearance is the detail that transforms routine scheduling news into a statement of intent. Lamborghini says it expects a large entry of EVO2 cars at Le Mans, and the timing is no accident. The same weekend, Lamborghini is set to debut its SC63 LMDh prototypes in the main 24 Hours event. The entire Le Mans weekend becomes a showcase for Lamborghini motorsport at two levels simultaneously: factory prototypes chasing the overall classification and customer racers competing in the one-make series on the same legendary circuit.
For a brand that built its racing identity through the Super Trofeo since 2009, placing the series alongside the world’s most prestigious endurance events signals something far more ambitious than calendar housekeeping. It signals the construction of a complete motorsport ecosystem, visible to the global audience in a single weekend.
Le Mans as the Centrepiece: Why This Debut Matters
Le Mans occupies a singular position in motorsport. Even appearing on the support bill carries weight, and for the Super Trofeo, racing at La Sarthe connects customer competitors to that mythology in a way no standalone round at a regional circuit can replicate.
The strategic logic runs deeper than prestige alone. With Lamborghini’s SC63 LMDh prototypes racing in the main event and the Super Trofeo running in support, spectators watching the EVO2 cars on Saturday can see the SC63 prototypes on the same weekend. The implied message is unmistakable: Lamborghini’s motorsport ecosystem now stretches from gentlemen drivers in one-make racing to factory-backed prototype endurance competition, and both halves are visible on the same tarmac.
Spa-Francorchamps, the only circuit to appear on every Super Trofeo Europe calendar since 2009, also carries WEC support status for 2024. The European championship opens at Imola in late April, moves to Spa in May, and arrives at Le Mans in June. Three consecutive rounds on three of Europe’s most demanding and historically significant circuits, all under the WEC umbrella. That concentration of high-profile venues in the first half of the season is entirely new territory for the series, and it reinforces the thesis that Squadra Corse is using the 2024 calendar to reposition the Super Trofeo as a global-stage property rather than a regional one.
Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 cars fiercely compete, navigating a challenging turn on the track.
Super Trofeo and the SC63: Building a Three-Tier Motorsport Structure
One-make series exist, in part, to serve the parent brand’s broader motorsport ambitions. Ferrari runs its Challenge series globally. Porsche operates the Carrera Cup across multiple continents. Both programs function as brand amplifiers and, critically, as driver development pipelines. Lamborghini’s Super Trofeo now slots into that same competitive tier of visibility, but with a specific advantage in 2024: the simultaneous debut of the SC63 LMDh program gives the one-make series a factory prototype to point toward.
The connection between the two programs goes beyond marketing adjacency. Lamborghini says the Super Trofeo will support WEC rounds at Imola, Spa, Le Mans, and Circuit of the Americas. At each of those events, the SC63 prototypes will also be competing. For aspiring professional drivers in the Super Trofeo paddock, the factory program is no longer an abstraction parked at a different circuit on a different weekend. It is in the next garage.
The Temerario GT3, which represents Lamborghini’s first entirely in-house developed competition vehicle, adds another rung to this ladder. While the GT3 car operates in a different regulatory framework, its existence alongside the Super Trofeo and the LMDh prototype means Squadra Corse now fields a three-tier motorsport structure: customer one-make racing, GT3 competition, and factory prototype endurance. That kind of vertical integration mirrors what Ferrari and Porsche built over decades. Lamborghini is assembling it in a compressed timeframe, and the 2024 Super Trofeo calendar is the most visible evidence of the acceleration.
The Huracán EVO2: A V10 Swan Song on the World Stage
Every car on the 2024 Super Trofeo grid will be a Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 producing 620 horsepower. The cars weigh a minimum of 1,250 kg dry (excluding the driver) and feature racing ABS alongside a nine-position traction control system, according to widely reported technical regulations. They are purpose-built competition machines, not street-legal in any market.
The timing gives the EVO2 a particular resonance. Lamborghini’s road car lineup is moving decisively toward electrification and forced induction. The Revuelto pairs a V12 with three electric motors. The Temerario uses a twin-turbo V8 hybrid. Against that backdrop, the EVO2’s naturally aspirated V10 screaming through Spa’s Eau Rouge or down Le Mans’ Mulsanne straight represents a kind of farewell tour for the platform, even if Lamborghini has not formally announced its successor.
For collectors and enthusiasts tracking the series, this context matters. Autoblog recently featured a near-zero-mileage Huracán Super Trofeo EVO listed on Bring a Trailer, noting its appeal as an artifact of Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated racing era. As the production Huracán gives way to the Temerario, the EVO2’s status as the last V10 Super Trofeo car could sharpen collector interest considerably. Racing these cars at Le Mans, of all places, only deepens that narrative gravity.

Regional Calendars: Where and When to Watch
The three continental championships cover a remarkable geographic spread. Here is how the season breaks down:
Super Trofeo Europe
| Round | Venue | Date | Support Bill |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Imola, Italy | April 19-21 | FIA WEC |
| 2 | Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium | May 9-11 | FIA WEC |
| 3 | Le Mans, France | June 11-15 | FIA WEC |
| 4 | Nürburgring, Germany | July 26-28 | GT World Challenge Europe |
| 5 | Barcelona, Spain | October 11-13 | GT World Challenge Europe |
| 6 | TBA | TBA | TBA |
Super Trofeo North America
| Round | Venue | Date |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sebring, Florida | March 13-16 |
| 2 | Laguna Seca, California | May 10-12 |
| 3 | Watkins Glen, New York | June 21-23 |
| 4 | Circuit of the Americas, Texas | Aug 31 – Sep 1 |
| 5 | Indianapolis, Indiana | September 20-22 |
| 6 | TBA | TBA |
The North American series opens at Sebring alongside the 12 Hours, and Lamborghini says four of the five confirmed US rounds will support IMSA events. The Circuit of the Americas round doubles as a WEC support event, giving North American competitors their own connection to the global endurance calendar.
Super Trofeo Asia spans five countries: Malaysia (Sepang), Australia (The Bend), South Korea (Inje), Japan (Fuji), and China (Shanghai). Ten races across those five venues make it the most geographically diverse of the three series, and its return to a full calendar follows a three-year hiatus that ended in 2023.
All three championships converge at the season-closing World Finals, now in its 11th edition. The date and venue were to be confirmed during the 2023 World Finals at Vallelunga.

Competitive Context: Raising the Perceived Value of Participation
Ferrari Challenge and Porsche Carrera Cup both run well-established global calendars with support slots at major events. What Lamborghini gains in 2024 is parity of stage, if not yet parity of history. Placing the Super Trofeo alongside WEC rounds at Imola, Spa, Le Mans, and COTA puts the series in front of the same international audience that watches Ferrari and Porsche factory teams compete in the main events. The difference is that Lamborghini can now present its customer racing and its factory prototype program at the same venue on the same weekend, a narrative coherence that few rival one-make series can claim in their debut year at this level.
This matters commercially as much as it does competitively. The Super Trofeo is not merely a racing series; it is a commercial product. Teams buy the cars, pay entry fees, and invest in season-long programs. Placing those customers at Le Mans, Sebring, and COTA raises the perceived value of participation. When a gentleman driver can tell friends they raced at Le Mans, the cost of entry feels different.
Lamborghini has not disclosed what a full Super Trofeo season costs. What the 2024 calendar confirms is that the company is investing heavily in the prestige of the venues where that money gets spent. For prospective participants weighing the Super Trofeo against rival one-make programs, the quality of the 2024 schedule is now a genuine differentiator.
What This Means for Lamborghini’s Trajectory
The 2024 Super Trofeo calendar is best understood as one piece of a larger reorganization at Squadra Corse. The SC63 LMDh program puts Lamborghini into top-tier prototype racing for the first time. The Temerario GT3 will eventually replace the Huracán GT3 in customer competition. And the Super Trofeo itself, still running the naturally aspirated V10 EVO2, now occupies the world’s most visible support-race slots.
For LamboCars readers tracking the brand’s motorsport evolution, the practical takeaway is straightforward: Lamborghini is building a racing infrastructure that rivals what Ferrari and Porsche spent decades constructing, and the 2024 season is the year all three tiers operate simultaneously on the global stage. Whether the Super Trofeo eventually transitions to a Temerario-based car remains unconfirmed, but the investment in calendar prestige suggests Squadra Corse views the series as a permanent pillar, not a placeholder.
The World Finals will close out the season at a venue yet to be announced. Before that, the real milestone arrives in June at Le Mans, where a grid of V10-powered EVO2 cars will race on the same circuit where Lamborghini’s factory prototypes make their debut. That weekend will tell us more about Lamborghini’s motorsport ambitions than any calendar announcement ever could.
