Pro-Am Champions Crowned: Dimitrov and Guerin’s Barcelona Triumph
Six wins from five rounds. That is the record Georgi Dimitrov and Stéphan Guerin carried into the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, and it proved to be more than enough. Lamborghini says the CMR pairing secured the 2025 Super Trofeo Europe Pro-Am championship at Barcelona, clinching the title before the series even reaches its final round at Misano.
In a dedicated championship reserved for the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, every crew runs the same hardware. Margins come from strategy, car setup, and the drivers themselves. Wrapping up a title early in that environment says something real about driver execution and team preparation. For Dimitrov and Guerin to put the Pro-Am fight to bed in Spain, with a full weekend at Misano still on the calendar, underlines how dominant their 2025 campaign has been.
But Barcelona did far more than crown one set of champions. It blew the Pro title race wide open and set the stage for what promises to be the most consequential weekend of the entire season: the Misano finale and the Lamborghini World Finals that follow immediately after.
Barcelona Race Recap: Pro, Am, and LB Cup Winners
Barcelona produced decisive results across every class, not just Pro-Am. In the Pro category, VSR’s Adam Putera and Paul Levet took both race victories at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, injecting real drama into the championship picture.
Putera’s race one win came down to fractions. Lamborghini’s event summary describes a race where solo driver Benedetto Strignano built a gap in the first stint but lost out after the mandatory pit stop sequence, with Putera holding off a charging Strignano by just over a quarter of a second at the flag. Race two followed a similarly chaotic script: a first-lap incident involving multiple cars reshuffled the field, and a mid-race spin by Strignano on fluid from another car opened the door for Putera and Levet to lead unchallenged.
Those two Pro victories matter enormously because of what they did to the standings, a point we will return to shortly.
In Pro-Am, Dimitrov and Guerin shared the weekend’s wins with Štefan Rosina and Bronislav Formánek of Mičánek Motorsport. The Am class saw Pietro Perolini and Massimo Ciglia (Oregon Team) take race one honors, while Stéphane Lemeret and Rodrigue Gillion (CMR) claimed their first class victory of the season in race two. Karim Ojjeh of Rexal Villorba Corse doubled up in the LB Cup, winning both races to move within a single point of securing that class title at Misano.
Debutants Ethan Brown and Elias de la Torre deserve a mention for climbing 19 positions from their starting slot in race one and backing it up with a third-place Pro finish on Sunday. Performances like that keep the grid competitive and signal the kind of fresh talent the series continues to attract.
The Road to Misano: Pro and LB Cup Title Fights
While the Pro-Am crown is settled, two other championships remain very much alive, and both will converge on a single weekend that also happens to host the Lamborghini World Finals.
Putera’s double win at Barcelona transformed the Pro standings. Lamborghini says he now sits just three points behind leaders Enzo Geraci and Josef Knopp heading into the Misano finale. That gap is razor-thin in a series where a single race result can swing the entire championship. Geraci and Knopp’s Barcelona weekend went sideways, literally. Lamborghini’s account describes a post-race penalty in race one following contact that forced another car out, and a first-lap incident in race two that delayed their progress. Momentum in motorsport is a real thing, and right now it belongs to Putera and Levet.
The LB Cup situation is simpler. Ojjeh’s Barcelona double leaves him needing one solitary point at Misano to lock up the class. Barring a mechanical failure or a non-start, that title looks all but decided.
The practical takeaway for anyone following the series is clear: the Misano round on November 6-7, followed immediately by the Lamborghini World Finals on November 8-9, will be the most consequential weekend of the 2025 Super Trofeo Europe calendar. The Pro title will be settled there, and the World Finals bring together regional champions from Europe, North America, and Asia for a standalone event. If you can only pay attention to one weekend of Lamborghini customer racing this year, Misano is the one.
The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2: A Proven Platform for Champions
Every car on the Super Trofeo Europe grid is a Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, which makes the championship a pure test of driver skill and team preparation rather than an engineering arms race. The series, established in 2009, remains Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s flagship customer racing program and one of the longest-running single-make supercar championships in the world.
What makes this moment interesting for Lamborghini enthusiasts is the broader context. Autoblog reported that the Temerario GT3, Lamborghini’s first competition car fully designed and built in-house, debuted at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed. That car represents the next chapter of Lamborghini’s racing ladder, built around the twin-turbo V8 Temerario platform rather than the naturally aspirated V10 Huracán. The Super Trofeo series will eventually need to transition to whatever replaces the current EVO2, and the Temerario GT3’s arrival signals that Squadra Corse is already building the successor architecture.
For teams currently competing in Super Trofeo, the Huracán EVO2 remains the car to master. And for collectors watching from the sidelines, the Huracán-based race cars carry a certain end-of-era appeal. Autoblog recently covered a near-new Huracán Super Trofeo EVO appearing on the collector market, a sign that these naturally aspirated race cars are already being treated as significant pieces of Lamborghini’s motorsport history.
Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe: Season Highlights and Significance
The 2025 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe season spans six European circuits, a calendar that reads like a greatest-hits tour of Continental racing venues.
| Round | Circuit | Date |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Paul Ricard | April 11-13 |
| 2 | Monza | May 30 – June 1 |
| 3 | Spa-Francorchamps | June 25-28 |
| 4 | Nürburgring | August 29-31 |
| 5 | Barcelona | October 10-12 |
| 6 | Misano | November 6-7 |
| World Finals | Misano | November 8-9 |
Dimitrov and Guerin’s campaign through those first five rounds produced six Pro-Am victories, enough to make the mathematics irrelevant before the grid even forms at Misano. Earlier in the season, the CMR pairing maintained a perfect winning record in the Pro-Am class at Monza and also claimed an overall victory in a red-flagged Race 1 at that circuit, a result confirmed by multiple reports. For a Pro-Am crew to challenge for overall positions against full-Pro entries in a single-make series speaks to the quality of their driving and the precision of CMR’s pit wall.
That quality is exactly what makes the Misano finale so compelling. The Pro-Am title is wrapped up, but the Pro championship will come down to a three-point margin between Putera and the Geraci-Knopp pairing. The World Finals, following immediately after the season closer, will gather regional champions from three continents on the same grid. Lamborghini’s customer racing ecosystem, built by Squadra Corse over 16 seasons around the V10 soundtrack and the global convergence of the World Finals, carries a distinct identity among single-make programs. With the Huracán era drawing toward its conclusion and the Temerario architecture waiting in the wings, the stakes at Misano in November extend beyond points and trophies. They touch on the legacy of an entire generation of Lamborghini racing.
