Four Titles, One Weekend, and Margins Measured in Single Digits
When the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe grid forms up at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on October 11, at least one class championship could be mathematically decided before the cars even load onto transporters for the final round at Misano. Across the Pro, Pro-Am, Am, and Lamborghini Cup classes, the gaps separating contenders range from a comfortable 39 points down to an almost absurd two. With 64 points still available over the final two weekends (32 per round), Barcelona functions less as a race weekend and more as a sorting mechanism: who can handle pressure, and who folds.
Six different crews have won Pro class races across the eight contests held so far in 2025, a spread of victories that speaks directly to the equitable nature of a one-make series built around identical machinery. Only 20 points separate the top five Pro drivers. The Am class margin sits at two points. The Lamborghini Cup leader holds a 16-point buffer that looks comfortable until you consider that a single bad qualifying session can erase half of it.
Every driver on the grid pilots the same 620-horsepower, naturally aspirated Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2. The differentiator is talent, racecraft, and strategy. That purity is what makes Barcelona’s penultimate round so revealing: with no engineering advantage to exploit, the championship picture heading into Misano will be shaped entirely by the people behind the wheel and the teams calling their pit windows.
The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2: A Naturally Aspirated Equalizer
The entire premise of the Super Trofeo series, running since 2009, rests on a simple idea: strip away the engineering arms race and let driver skill determine the result. The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 is the instrument for that experiment. Its 5.2-liter V10 sends 620 horsepower to the rear wheels through an XTRAC six-speed sequential gearbox, a configuration that rewards precision and punishes sloppiness in equal measure.
Because the car is rear-wheel drive (the road-going Huracán uses all-wheel drive), throttle management out of slow corners becomes a genuine skill differentiator. The EVO2 is not street-legal. It runs a full rollcage, Öhlins TTX 36 two-way dampers, upgraded brakes, and competition tires. Independent reports indicate the car can achieve 2.1G under braking, a figure that puts enormous physical demands on drivers across a 50-minute race distance.
What makes this platform fascinating in 2025 is context. Lamborghini’s road car lineup now runs on hybrid power: the Revuelto pairs a V12 with three electric motors, and the Temerario uses a twin-turbo V8 with hybrid assistance. The Temerario GT3, which Autoblog reported as Lamborghini’s first fully in-house competition car, will eventually reshape Squadra Corse’s customer racing programs. For now, the Super Trofeo remains the last place in Lamborghini’s official motorsport ladder where a naturally aspirated V10 screams to its redline without electrical intervention. That matters to the enthusiasts watching from grandstands or YouTube streams, and it matters even more to the young drivers learning their craft on a machine that hides nothing.

Pro Class: Geraci and Knopp Defend, But Five Drivers Can Still Win
Oregon Team’s Enzo Geraci and Josef Knopp arrive at Barcelona leading the Pro standings by 14 points over Target Racing’s Guido Luchetti, who broke through with his first victory at the Nürburgring. Teammates Patrik Fraboni and Giacomo Pedrini sit third, five points further back and only a single point ahead of VSR’s Adam Putera. The math is straightforward: with 32 points available this weekend alone, every driver in the top five can leave Spain as the championship leader.
The grid gains complexity with several notable changes. Paul Levet returns to the #6 VSR Huracán alongside Putera after missing the Nürburgring round. Uniq Racing’s Jerzy Spinkiewicz, who took a maiden win at Spa-Francorchamps, will be absent for the remainder of the season after a testing crash left him sidelined for up to four months.
Perhaps the most intriguing storyline involves 2024 champion Amaury Bonduel, returning in the #57 BDR Competition car with Sebastian Balthasar. Bonduel made a one-off appearance at Spa earlier this season but was eliminated after a first-race incident. A defending champion re-entering the field with no title pressure but full pace can disrupt the points calculations of everyone around him. The drivers fighting for the championship will be watching his qualifying position closely.

Pro-Am, Am, and Lamborghini Cup: Where Titles Could Be Sealed
The Pro-Am class offers the clearest path to a Barcelona coronation. CMR’s Stéphan Guerin and Georgi Dimitrov hold a 39-point advantage over BDR Competition’s Anthony Nahra and Dimitri Enjalbert. Lamborghini confirms the CMR crew need only leave Spain with a lead of 32 points or more to clinch the title. Remarkably, the Nürburgring round was the first time all season the pair failed to win a race, which tells you everything about their consistency.
Behind them, the fight for second is genuinely absorbing. Boutsen VDS pairing Renaud Kuppens and Hugo Bac trail Nahra and Enjalbert by a single point, with ASR’s Miloš Pavlović and Alessio Ruffini just one point further back. Three crews separated by two points, all racing for a runner-up position that still carries real prestige within the Squadra Corse ecosystem.
The Am class battle is the tightest on the entire grid. Oregon Team’s Pietro Perolini and Massimo Ciglia swept both wins at the Nürburgring and now sit just two points behind VSR’s Piergiacomo Randazzo and Stéphane Tribaudini, who won four of the first five races but have lost momentum since the summer break. A two-point gap with four races remaining is essentially a coin flip.
In the Lamborghini Cup, Rexal Villorba Corse’s Karim Ojjeh leads teammate Claude-Yves Gosselin by 16 points after claiming both victories at the previous round, bringing his season tally to five wins. Gosselin, winless but with five podiums, trails but remains within striking distance. GT3 Poland’s Holger Harmsen sits four points behind Gosselin, keeping the top three mathematically alive.

The Development Pipeline: Junior Drivers and Cross-Continental Debuts
Barcelona will see two Lamborghini Squadra Corse Junior Drivers make their European series debuts. Super Trofeo Asia race winner Ethan Brown partners Super Trofeo North America title contender Elias de la Torre, both having joined the young driver development program earlier this year. Their pairing is deliberate: Lamborghini uses the Super Trofeo as the bottom rung of a motorsport ladder that feeds directly into GT3 programs.
The same logic applies to Leipert Motorsport fielding North American regulars Jeff Courtney and Fred Roberts in the Lamborghini Cup, replacing the absent Gerhard Watzinger. Cross-pollination between the regional championships and the European series is how Squadra Corse identifies which drivers merit further investment. A strong showing at Barcelona, against established European competitors, carries weight that regional results alone cannot.
As the Temerario GT3 prepares to enter competition, the drivers cutting their teeth on the Huracán EVO2 today represent the pool from which Lamborghini will draw its next generation of factory-supported GT racers. The transition from a naturally aspirated, rear-drive one-make car to a turbocharged hybrid GT3 machine will test adaptability, and Barcelona is where that adaptation starts being measured.

Pit Stop Strategy and How to Watch
Each 50-minute race includes a mandatory pit stop between the 20th and 30th minute, and the minimum stationary times differ by entry type: 63 seconds for solo drivers, 60 seconds for two-driver crews. That three-second delta is Lamborghini’s mechanism for balancing the inherent advantage of having a fresh driver take over mid-race against the simplicity of a solo effort. When and where within that ten-minute window a team chooses to pit, and whether a safety car period falls inside it, can swing championship points dramatically.
The weekend schedule at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya runs October 10 through 12: free practice sessions on Friday, qualifying and Race 1 on Saturday, Race 2 on Sunday. Both races will be live streamed on the Lamborghini Squadra Corse YouTube channel, with Saturday’s Race 1 starting at 16:05 CEST and Sunday’s Race 2 at 11:55 CEST.
For enthusiasts tracking the season, the final round at Misano on November 6 and 7 precedes the Lamborghini World Finals on November 8 and 9 at the same circuit, where European, North American, and Asian championship competitors converge. If the Pro-Am title is wrapped up in Barcelona, the World Finals become a celebration. If the Am class gap remains at two points, Misano will be extraordinary.
