Two Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo race cars competing side-by-side at night with headlights glaring.

A Tenth of a Second and a Countback: The 2019 Super Trofeo World Finals at Jerez

Two crews, identical points, and a title settled by margins almost too small to measure.

Frederik Schandorff and the Prestige Performance/Wayne Taylor Racing pairing of Sandy Mitchell and Andrea Amici finished the 2019 World Finals dead level on points, each with one pole, one win, and one runner-up finish.

Race 1 chaos on the opening lap

An opening-lap safety car, triggered when Jack Bartholomew's Bonaldi Motorsport car and Afiq Ikhwan Yazid's Hojust Racing Huracán made contact at Turn 3, compressed the field and erased any early advantage Schandorff had built.

Cecotto versus Mitchell — the Race 1 duel

Sandy Mitchell, taking over from Amici after the mandatory pit stop, hunted Jonathan Cecotto for the lead through the final stint, probing at Turns 6 and 15, but Cecotto defended with precision and won by barely a tenth of a second.

The countback that crowned a champion

Schandorff's six victories in the Middle Eastern regional series outweighed Mitchell and Amici's three North American wins, and the countback rule broke the tie to award the Pro class world championship.

More than 50 cars on the Jerez grid

Lamborghini says 15,000 spectators watched more than 50 cars contest the Pro, Pro-Am, Am, and Lamborghini Cup categories across the weekend at Jerez de la Frontera.

A 0.336-second penalty that nearly changed everything

Schandorff survived a post-race penalty of 0.336 seconds for a marginally short pit stop in Race 2, a detail that could easily have swung the championship to the Mitchell and Amici pairing.

Aghakhani's perfect Am sweep at sixteen

Sixteen-year-old Steven Aghakhani secured both Am class poles and both victories with US RaceTronics, while his closest challengers, the AGS Events pairing of Nico Gomar and Gilles Vannelet, spun in each race trying to keep pace.

Identical machinery, results decided by fractions

The Super Trofeo offers a structured competitive environment where identical machinery means results reflect driver ability and team preparation, not budget-driven engineering advantages.
