340 Milliseconds Decided the Paul Ricard Showdown

Grenier and Spinelli prove they can match the PRO championship leaders in a straight fight.

Mikaël Grenier and Loris Spinelli scored their second victory of the 2017 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe season at Paul Ricard, beating Jonathan Cecotto and Vito Postiglione by just 340 milliseconds.

Cecotto still leads, but the gap is closing

Cecotto and Postiglione retain the PRO championship lead, but the GDL Racing pairing of Rik Breukers and Axcil Jefferies sit nine points behind after finishing third in both Paul Ricard races.

PRO-AM drama on the final lap

Kikko Galbiati and Davide Roda finished seventh overall, but a last-lap contact incident with VS Racing's Liang Jatong led stewards to intervene and restore them to the top of the PRO-AM classification after the checkered flag.

Giannoni holds off PRO-class cars

Raffaele Giannoni claimed his second AM class win of the season and finished ninth overall, his pace strong enough to hold off two PRO-class cars for portions of the race.

Antonelli's three-class sweep

Antonelli Motorsport won the PRO class, the PRO-AM class, and the Lamborghini Cup at Paul Ricard, a sweep that reflects engineering consistency and strong driver coaching across every level of the grid.

The Super Trofeo as a stepping stone

The Super Trofeo serves as the entry point for Lamborghini customer racing, with drivers progressing through its ranks toward the brand's GT3 and GT4 programs.

A second stint of constant lead changes

Postiglione overtook Spinelli on multiple occasions during the second stint, only to lose the position each time before Spinelli held on to the finish.

Cecotto and Postiglione's unmatched consistency

Across six races at three circuits — Monza, Silverstone, and Paul Ricard — Cecotto and Postiglione collected results no other crew matched, including three consecutive Race 1 victories.

Wheel-to-wheel intensity beyond the PRO class

The PRO-AM class produces genuine wheel-to-wheel battles, and when a last-lap collision decides the outcome, it underscores how competitive the one-make format remains even outside the headline category.

Perez's winning European debut

Juan Perez, already a competitor in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America series, topped both qualifying sessions and won on his first European start, showing the crossover between Lamborghini's continental championships produces drivers who adapt quickly.

Identical machinery, operational advantage

All competitors race identical Huracán Super Trofeo machinery, which means team preparation and driver execution are the primary differentiators — and when one squad sweeps three classes, the advantage is operational, not mechanical.

The naturally aspirated V10's lasting appeal

The Huracán Super Trofeo's naturally aspirated V10 delivers a visceral driving experience that keeps amateur and semi-professional drivers returning season after season, separating the series from turbocharged alternatives in customer racing.
