Leitch Sells a Dummy at Nürburgring for Leipert's First Overall Super Trofeo Win

A late-race pass at turn 11 decided Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe Race 2 and reshuffled the championship.

Six minutes from the checkered flag at Nürburgring, Brendon Leitch threaded his Leipert Motorsport Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 down the inside of turn 11 and sold Andrzej Lewandowski what he later called "a little dummy" to seize the overall lead.
