Season Finale and World Final Collide at Jerez
Lamborghini’s Super Trofeo World Final is one of the more underappreciated pressure cookers in customer motorsport, and this weekend at the Circuito de Jerez it will prove why. Rounds 11 and 12 close out the North American championship on Friday, October 25. Then, without a pause to recalibrate, the same drivers and teams roll straight into the World Final on Saturday and Sunday, racing the best from the European and Asian series on the same track.
Three of the four North American class titles remain undecided. Only Pro-Am is settled. Friday’s two races therefore carry double weight: they determine regional championships and set the psychological tone for a weekend where global titles are also at stake. For teams that have spent an entire season building toward this moment, Jerez is where everything either pays off or unravels.
Rather than crowning regional champions in isolation and staging a separate international event months later, Lamborghini collapses everything into a single long weekend. Regional finales feed directly into global competition. The result is a condensed, high-stakes environment where consistency across four days matters more than raw pace in any single session, and where the series reveals exactly what it was designed to reveal: which drivers and teams belong on the next rung of the ladder.
Pro Class: Six Points and Two Very Different Strategies
The Pro class fight is the headline battle, and it distills the Super Trofeo‘s purpose into a single championship weekend. Corey Lewis and Richy Antinucci, driving the No. 29 Change Racing entry out of Lamborghini Charlotte, lead by six points. Their season profile tells a clear story: three wins, podium finishes in nine of ten rounds. Consistency over flash.
Brandon Gdovic, in the No. 46 Precision Performance Motorsport car representing Lamborghini Palm Beach, presents the opposite profile. Four victories, the most in the class, but apparently less consistency elsewhere in the calendar. He trails by six points, which in a two-race weekend is nothing. A single retirement or penalty for Lewis and Antinucci, combined with a Gdovic win, flips the championship.
The tactical dimension is what makes this so watchable. Lewis and Antinucci can afford to race conservatively; a pair of second-place finishes likely seals their title. Gdovic needs to attack. In a one-make series where the cars are mechanically identical, that dynamic plays out in braking zones and late-corner aggression, not horsepower advantages. Expect the opening laps of Round 11 to be particularly intense.
This is also precisely the kind of battle that validates the one-make format as a proving ground. When the car is equalized, driver judgment becomes the differentiator. Teams that manage tire degradation, pit strategy, and their drivers’ risk appetite over a full weekend tend to prevail over those chasing individual race wins. Squadra Corse is watching, and how these drivers handle the pressure at Jerez will say as much about their futures as the points they collect.
The Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo race car, number 29, blazes down the track with incredible speed and precision.
Am, LB Cup, and the Pro-Am Dominance Worth Noting
The Am class gap is wider but far from safe. McKay Snow, racing the No. 63 Change Racing car for Lamborghini Charlotte, holds a 13-point cushion over Steven Aghakhani of US RaceTronics and Lamborghini Beverly Hills. The wrinkle is timing: Snow started the season with four wins in seven races but has fallen off the podium in the last three rounds. Momentum favors Aghakhani, a 16-year-old with three wins and four runner-up finishes. If Snow’s late-season slide continues into Jerez, 13 points can evaporate quickly.
In the LB Cup, Mel Johnson (No. 08, GMG Racing, Lamborghini Newport Beach) leads the pairing of Ashton Harrison and Stephanie Cemo (No. 43, Prestige Performance/Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Paramus) by 115 to 101. Johnson built that margin on six wins from eight starts. Harrison and Cemo are still searching for their first victory of the season, which makes their path to the title steep but mathematically alive.
Pro-Am, meanwhile, is already decided, and the margin tells its own story. Damon Ockey and Jacob Eidson, running the No. 09 US RaceTronics entry for Lamborghini Vancouver, won nine of ten races. The one they missed? They finished second. That kind of dominance in a competitive one-make series is rare, and it raises an obvious question about their next step. Drivers who dominate Pro-Am at this level often graduate to GT3 competition, which is precisely the career ladder Squadra Corse designed the series to feed. Ockey and Eidson’s season is less a championship and more an audition tape.
The Motorsport Ladder That Competitors Struggle to Match
Established in 2009, the Super Trofeo series functions as the entry point of Lamborghini’s motorsport development pipeline, and this is where the strategic picture gets interesting for anyone who watches how the brand positions itself against Ferrari Challenge and Porsche’s one-make programs.
According to one report, Lamborghini Squadra Corse operates a structured Young Driver Program spanning multiple tiers: Super Trofeo Junior Drivers, GT3 Junior Drivers, and a Lamborghini Young Professional Driver roster. Drivers are assessed not just on lap times but on consistency, technical feedback, professionalism, and attitude, with factory drivers like Andrea Caldarelli and Marco Mapelli involved in the evaluation process. The program reportedly covers media training, physical preparation at Sant’Agata Bolognese, and on-track coaching.
This structure matters because the Super Trofeo is not merely a customer entertainment exercise. It is the mechanism through which Lamborghini identifies and develops the drivers who will eventually race its GT3 cars in international endurance competition. The pipeline runs from regional Super Trofeo grids to GT3 seats, and ultimately to factory-supported entries in series like the GT World Challenge. Few manufacturers make this ladder as explicit or as structured.
Ferrari Challenge and Porsche Carrera Cup serve broadly similar functions for their respective brands, but Lamborghini’s approach, with its formal assessment criteria and direct factory involvement, reflects a company that treats customer racing as a talent acquisition channel, not just a revenue stream. The drivers battling at Jerez this weekend are, in some cases, auditioning for a professional motorsport career under the Squadra Corse umbrella. That context transforms every overtake, every clean pass, every measured decision to settle for second place into something more consequential than a trophy.
The Huracán’s Last Act and What Comes Next
All of this unfolds on a platform nearing the end of its competitive life. The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO represents the final evolution of a car that first appeared in racing trim in 2014. Its naturally aspirated V10, rear-wheel-drive layout, and purpose-built aerodynamic package made it the backbone of Lamborghini’s customer racing efforts for nearly a decade. The one-make format, where every car on the grid runs essentially identical hardware, ensures that results reflect driver and team quality rather than engineering budgets.
Reports indicate that the next chapter belongs to the Temerario Super Trofeo, which was officially unveiled in May 2026. According to Autoblog, the Temerario GT3 is Lamborghini’s first competition car to be fully designed, developed, and built in-house, a significant departure from previous collaborations with external partners. The Super Trofeo variant will likely follow a similar philosophy, though Lamborghini has not detailed the customer racing car’s specifications publicly.
For teams and drivers who have built their programs around the Huracán’s characteristics, this transition means adapting to an entirely new powerband, different weight distribution, and the complexities of turbo management in wheel-to-wheel racing. The Temerario’s twin-turbocharged V8 represents a fundamental shift from the naturally aspirated V10 that defined the series since its Gallardo days. Whether that changes the character of Super Trofeo racing, for better or worse, remains one of the more compelling open questions in customer motorsport.
Jerez, then, is something of a farewell tour for the Huracán platform in competitive trim. The V10’s screaming top end, the rear-drive balance that rewards precision over brute force: these qualities shaped how an entire generation of Lamborghini customer racers learned their craft. The Temerario era will bring its own identity, but the Huracán’s contribution to Squadra Corse’s credibility, and to the proving-ground philosophy that makes this weekend matter, is difficult to overstate.
