How the 2017 Super Trofeo World Final at Imola shaped Lamborghini's racing ambitions
More than 60 Huracán Super Trofeo cars and nearly a hundred drivers converged on Imola's 4.9-kilometer circuit in November 2017, combining the final rounds of the European, Asian, and North American championships with the standalone World Final races.
Stripped of road-car compromises and fitted with a full roll cage, competition suspension, and racing slicks, the Huracán Super Trofeo's naturally aspirated V10, aggressive aero package, and carbon bodywork make it a machine most enthusiasts will never drive.
Years of running the Super Trofeo series across three continents, supporting dozens of privateer teams, and learning what drivers and customers needed created the institutional knowledge that made Lamborghini's first fully in-house GT3 car, the Temerario GT3, possible.
Riccardo Agostini and Trent Hindman of Prestige Performance secured two more victories in the final continental rounds at Imola, confirming their season-long consistency to claim the North American PRO championship.
The career pipeline from Super Trofeo to GT3 competition is well established within Squadra Corse's structure, and a strong World Final performance puts a driver's name on the radar of teams running Lamborghini machinery in IMSA and the World Endurance Championship.
