A 17-Second Rout at Road America

Hindman and Agostini turn four miles of Wisconsin tarmac into a private testing session.

Trent Hindman and Riccardo Agostini won the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America race at Road America on August 5, 2017, by 17.467 seconds in the No. 1 Prestige Performance Huracán Super Trofeo.

Identical machinery, hundreds of data points

Lamborghini's Super Trofeo series operates across three continental championships, and the data flowing back from hundreds of race weekends feeds directly into understanding how the V10 architecture performs under sustained competitive stress.

Race car to road car: the technology pipeline

The Super Trofeo car's 5.2-liter V10 shares its fundamental architecture with the road-going Huracán, and lessons learned about engine mapping, chassis behavior, and aerodynamic efficiency under race conditions informed later road variants like the Huracán STO and Performante.

Road America's championship stakes

The 2017 season finale at Imola's Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari carried particular weight because North American competitors would face their European and Asian counterparts at the World Final, testing whether the speed shown at Road America translated against the global field.

Pole position, unchallenged lead

Hindman qualified on pole, built a commanding gap in the opening laps, and handed the car to Agostini at the mandatory pit stop with enough breathing room that his co-driver simply needed to maintain pace.

First-time winners across three classes

Road America produced breakthrough victories in every supporting class, with D. Bryce Miller winning ProAm, Yuki Harata taking the Am category, and J.C. Perez extending his LB Cup championship advantage.

One-make racing isolates talent

A one-make series like Super Trofeo isolates driver skill and team preparation as the primary variables, so Hindman's 17-second gap came from setup choices, tire management, and raw driving ability rather than a power advantage baked into homologation.

From customer racing to in-house GT3

Squadra Corse's evolution from customer racing into full GT3 competition, now culminating in the Temerario GT3 program—Lamborghini's first competition car fully designed and built in-house—traces a direct line back through these Super Trofeo seasons.
