Target Racing's Flawless Debut: Sweeping the 2019 Super Trofeo Middle East

Five wins from six races in their maiden season sealed the title with a race to spare.

Timur Boguslavskiy and Frederik Schandorff, sharing the No. 9 Huracán Super Trofeo Evo for Target Racing, swept all three races in Dubai and clinched the 2019 Middle East title at Yas Marina Circuit before the final checkered flag even fell.

A pre-season proving ground for the global calendar

Squadra Corse used the compact two-weekend Middle East series as a live laboratory, evaluating the Evo aero package under sustained high temperatures, abrasive surfaces, and the long straights of Yas Marina that punish aerodynamic drag.

One-make racing rewards preparation, not budgets

The Super Trofeo's identical-machinery format means winning comes down to driver pairing, pit-stop execution, and the quality of engineering support during compressed race weekends.

Identical hardware, unequal results

Target Racing's perfect finishing record across both rounds suggests their engineering team understood the car's thermal demands from the outset, an advantage of arriving with deep GT experience rather than learning on the job.

Rear-wheel drive as a GT3 stepping stone

Every road-going Huracán of that era sent power to all four wheels, but stripping the front axle drive from the Super Trofeo Evo saved weight and prepared drivers for the handling characteristics demanded by GT3 regulations.

The standard set under the Abu Dhabi floodlights

Target Racing answered the central question of the Middle East series so emphatically that the rest of the field spent the global season chasing a standard set under the Abu Dhabi floodlights before spring had even arrived.
