Super Trofeo Asia Returns to Suzuka for a Double-Header Weekend

Round three of six brings two races to the 5.82-kilometer figure-eight circuit in Mie Prefecture.

Lamborghini's 2017 Super Trofeo Asia series reaches its midseason pivot this weekend at Suzuka Circuit, the 5.82-kilometer figure-eight layout that started life as a Honda test track in 1962 and went on to host decades of Formula One drama.

Road-car DNA, race-car diet

The Huracán Super Trofeo uses the same 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 found in the road car, producing 620 horsepower at a dry weight of 1,270 kg, and its sound through Suzuka's Esses is a visceral advertisement no brochure can replicate.

From one-make grid to GT3 seat

Young Drivers Program graduates like Rik Breukers and Afiq Yazid cut their teeth in Super Trofeo before moving to GT3 seats, making the one-make series a deliberate feeder system for higher-level GT competition.

The cost of a full season

The investment required to field a car for a full season goes well beyond the car itself, encompassing team logistics, travel across four countries, and the wear items that a V10 race car consumes at a prodigious rate.

The longest circuit on the 2017 Asia calendar

Suzuka's 5.82 km make it the longest venue on the 2017 Asia calendar, a detail that matters when the Huracán Super Trofeo is a rear-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated V10 car being asked to manage traction through the Degner curves and the 130R.

Six weekends, four countries, one brand calendar

Lamborghini hosts six race weekends across Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, and China before converging at Imola for a World Final, creating a recurring calendar of touchpoints with exactly the clientele it wants to cultivate.

All roads lead to Imola

The World Final brings together the top competitors from the European, North American, Asian, and for the first time Middle Eastern series to contest a global podium on Lamborghini's home turf in the Bologna region.
