World Speed Motorsports has concluded a highly successful partial season in the 2025 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Championship. The team’s efforts were highlighted by podium finishes and strong performances from both their Pro and Pro-Am entries.
Through the first ten rounds of the season, the team, spearheaded by the No. 22 Graham Prewett Inc. Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 piloted by Jaden Conwright and Scott Huffaker, has firmly established itself as a premier contender in the highly competitive Pro class.
Their exceptional run is defined by remarkable consistency, flawless operational execution, and a stunning streak of podium finishes at every circuit visited.
ROUNDS 1 & 2: Sebring International Raceway – Immediate Impact
Kicking off the season at the notoriously demanding Sebring International Raceway, the duo of Jaden Conwright and Scott Huffaker made an immediate impact. Despite the team’s late start to preparation—as noted by Team Manager Jan Trojan, they “didn’t get to come out for the week of testing prior”—the No. 22 demonstrated exceptional skill and consistency. The combined effort resulted in securing two podium finishes in the Pro class, a powerful debut that instantly solidified their position as top contenders. Watch rounds 1 and 2…
ROUNDS 3 & 4: WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca – Speed and Execution Shine
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca proved to be a weekend of high speed mixed with racing misfortune. The team’s raw pace was undeniable: the No. 15 entry secured pole position for Race One, with driver Dario Capitanio masterfully leading an impressive 15 laps and controlling the overall pace. Co-driver Cam Aliabadi brought the car home for a top five finish in the Pro-Am class.
Meanwhile, the No. 22 demonstrated its relentless pace, culminating in one well-deserved podium finish. Crucially, the World Speed pit crew proved their operational excellence by executing pit stops that were consistently the quickest across the entire field. Further underlining their pace, the No. 22 logged a fastest lap time of 1:24.446, a mere fraction of a second behind the fastest overall time. Despite battling penalties and a punctured tire, the team’s performance signaled their potential for outright victory. Watch rounds 3 and 4…
ROUNDS 5 & 6: Watkins Glen International – A Halfway Point Triumph
At the halfway mark of the championship, held at the fast and challenging Watkins Glen International, the No. 22 car continued its remarkable consistency. Navigating a crowded field of 37 cars, the team qualified 11th for Race One and improved to 8th for Race Two, despite a red flag truncating the second qualifying session.
In Race One, the car fought forward, gaining five positions to finish 6th. Race Two was a masterclass in execution: starting 8th, Jaden Conwright delivered a stellar opening stint, gaining five positions. A flawless mandatory pit stop by the crew further cemented the advantage, allowing Scott Huffaker to bring the car home for a decisive 3rd place overall finish. The team’s record of completing every lap of every session remained intact. Watch rounds 5 and 6…
ROUNDS 7 & 8: Road America – Extending the Podium Streak
In front of a massive crowd at the 4.048-mile Road America circuit, the WSM team once again showcased blistering speed. Despite chaotic qualifying sessions—including one session limited to just four laps—the No. 22 secured the fifth-fastest overall time and a fifth-place class start for Race 2.
The hard work paid off in both races: the team crossed the finish line in third place in Race 1, extending their impressive podium streak. Race 2 was an intense battle where Huffaker and Conwright again piloted the Huracán to a podium, officially finishing third after a post-race ruling adjustment. As Team Manager Jan Trojan noted, “securing two trophies and getting the car back without any damage is a testament to the skill and dedication of our drivers and team.” Watch rounds 7 and 8…
ROUNDS 9 & 10: Indianapolis Motor Speedway – Finishing Strong
Closing out the North American leg of the season at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the No. 22 Graham Prewett Huracán ran at the front of the field all weekend. In Race One, Huffaker immediately charged into second place at the start. Another flawless pit stop by the crew ensured Jaden Conwright could maintain the blistering pace to the end, finishing 2nd in the Pro Class. The strong performance was mirrored in the final race of the weekend, where the World Speed / Graham Prewett Lamborghini brought home another strong 2nd place overall finish.
This unwavering consistency has propelled the No. 22 WSM/Graham Prewett Huracán to 4th in the Pro Championship standings as the rest of the series heads towards its final stages in Europe. Watch rounds 9 and 10…
World Speed Motorsports has announced that they will not be participating in the final rounds of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Championship at Misano. The decision stems from the significant costs associated with shipping the cars to Europe for the final races and the World Championships.

Danny Formal and Hampus Ericsson dominated the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, sweeping both races. They secured a commanding victory in Saturday’s Race 2 despite a yellow-flag impact, starting from pole in the No. 1 Wayne Taylor Racing (WTR) Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2. WTR made it a team 1-2 finish overall, as Trent Hindman and Jackson Lee took home the Pro-Am class win, completing their own class sweep in the No. 69 WTR machine.
The Pro-Am class finish was secured after several competitors, including Will Bamber and Colin Queen, were penalized for “passing outside of track limits,” which also promoted Scott Huffaker and Jaden Conwright to second in Pro Class.
The weekend saw sweeps in all four classes, with Mateo Siderman winning the Am class and Nick Groat taking the LB Cup for the second day in a row. The race included a lengthy full-course caution triggered by a multi-car incident involving Conrad Geis, Sean McAuliffe, and Dean Neuls, the latter of whom escaped safely from a car engulfed in flames.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway can be a cruel mistress, and for the Lamborghini SC63 team, the penultimate round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship was a harsh lesson in motorsport’s unforgiving nature. What looked to be a stellar top-five finish for the #63 LMDh—driven by the formidable pairing of Edoardo Mortara and Romain Grosjean—slipped through their fingers in the final hour, leaving them with a 10th-place finish that didn’t reflect their impressive performance.
The weekend started with high hopes and a key upgrade. The SC63 arrived with a new rear suspension, and the “Evo joker” immediately paid dividends. In practice, the car showed strong pace, with the team focusing on race-length fuel runs. Grosjean’s best qualifying lap of 1m15.170s was quick enough for ninth, which became an eighth-place grid spot after a competitor’s penalty. The team was within four-tenths of a second of the top time, a clear sign of their progress.
A Day of Promise
From the drop of the green flag, the #63 was on the move. Grosjean wasted no time, jumping two positions by the first corner and settling into seventh. Despite a flurry of full-course yellows in the first half of the race, the Lamborghini crew’s strategy was on point, and they climbed into the top five after the first round of pit stops. For much of the six-hour enduro, the SC63 was a consistent presence in the lead pack, matching the pace of the front-runners and showcasing its true potential.
Mortara took over for a strong middle stint, expertly managing fuel and holding his ground against the GTP field. “I had two really long stints where I was saving a lot of fuel, which was a nice surprise, matching the pace of the others,” he noted. “It was a pleasure to fight at the front and showcase our potential.”
The Cruel Twist of Fate
As the race entered its final hour, strategy became the defining factor. In a battle with a lapped Porsche, Grosjean made slight contact, sending the #63 momentarily onto the grass. The team seized the opportunity, calling Grosjean in for a short, energy-only pit stop—a high-stakes gamble to gain track position for the final sprint.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans. A full-course yellow flew soon after, neutralizing the race and trapping the #63 on the wrong side of the cycle. The short stop, meant to be a strategic masterstroke, became a costly mistake, and the car dropped to 10th, where it would ultimately finish.
Looking Ahead to Petit Le Mans
While the final result was disappointing, both drivers found plenty of positives to take away. “I think we’ve worked well as a team; this was the first time that we’ve really been in the mix, in the top five all day, so I think we can take this as a positive,” Grosjean said.
For Mortara, who finally got to complete his first IMSA race of the season, the potential was clear. “Without this I think there was the potential to finish in the top five,” he reflected.
The team now shifts its focus to the season finale at Road Atlanta, the 10-hour Petit Le Mans, which will also be the final outing for the Lamborghini SC63 before it takes a sabbatical. After a performance like the one at Indy, the team will undoubtedly be gunning for a high note to end their campaign.

At the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the factory-backed Wayne Taylor Racing team showcased their dominance, sweeping both races in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America series. The team, which had the advantage of performing five extra days of testing at the track, saw their drivers Danny Formal and Hampus Ericsson clinch victory in the Pro class. Similarly, teammates Trent Hindman and Jackson Lee secured a double win in the ProAm class, with Lee celebrating in front of his hometown crowd.
Despite being a small, one-car team with no pre-event Indianapolis testing, World Speed Motorsports had a remarkable weekend. Their drivers, Jaden Conwright and Scott Huffaker, finished an impressive second in both Pro class races, a notable achievement for the team competing against the well-resourced competition.
The weekend saw double victories across all classes. In the Am class, Mateo Siderman of TR3 Racing took home both wins, while Nick Groat of ONE Motorsports completed the sweep in the LB Cup class. Groat’s double win at Indianapolis was especially significant, as it secured him the championship with one race weekend to spare, marking his second consecutive title.
The results from Indianapolis have set the stage for a dramatic conclusion to the season. The final two rounds of the North American championship will be held at the Misano World Circuit in Italy on November 6-7, followed by the Lamborghini World Finals on November 8-9. While Groat has sealed the LB Cup title, the championships in the Pro, ProAm, and Am classes remain wide open, promising intense battles for the final points. Formal and Ericsson hold an 18-point lead in the Pro class, while a tight seven-point gap separates the top two in ProAm. In the Am class, the championship remains incredibly close, with the top three competitors separated by just ten points heading into the final races.
Quotes:
Pro
Danny Formal (No. 1 Wayne Taylor Racing): (on race 2 win): “Well, first of all I want to thank Hampus. He didn’t do many laps due to the caution, but he did really well. Obviously in the start, he did a fantastic job. It’s very hard to start here. When you’re down the inside, it’s very dirty. He did a fantastic job there. The restart after that long yellow is never easy. Hampus had a great restart, and he pulled a nice little gap. I got some good out laps, and I was able to maintain that lead that we had. So just so thankful to the team, we did minimal changes all weekend. I’m talking about one little change all weekend. That’s how good these cars are rolling out. We’re going to Misano. I was there in 2021 and it’s an amazing racetrack. So, we have a good baseline going there. I’m excited to go fight for the championship.”
Hampus Ericsson (No. 1 Wayne Taylor Racing): “It’s just been a great weekend It feels so good to win again. Same as in Road America with two wins and two poles here in Indianapolis. It’s an unbelievable feeling and I can’t wait to fight for the championship in Italy as well. We’ll see what happens, but confidence is high.”
ProAm
Jackson Lee (No. 69 Wayne Taylor Racing): “I couldn’t be happier with the results from this weekend. Getting two class wins, but as well as two overall podiums, I couldn’t ask for a better weekend. I know we’ve got a lot of guests, a lot of friends and family between both me and the team, so it just makes it all the much more special. So, big thanks to all my supporters and all the team and the team supporters.”
Trent Hindman (No. 69 Wayne Taylor Racing): “Really fun weekend here at Indianapolis. There’s always the expectation when you have me and Jackson in the car that we want to be in the fight for the win and be one of the quicker cars on track. But to have the weekend go the way it went with very few hiccups and just a really, really great result for the team as a whole between the Pro and ProAm categories.”
Am
Mateo Siderman (No. 63 TR3 Racing): (on race 2 win): “It was a bit of a sprint race; this really felt like it,” Siderman said. “It enforces what we did yesterday, and it paid off for us. Really thankful to TR3, Lamborghini Westlake and the team.”
LB Cup
Nick Groat (No. 57 ONE Motorsports): (on race 2 win): “Finishing off the season and locking down the championship at Indy is a huge deal. Super Trofeo is honestly my favorite thing in the world, and I can’t wait to come back next year. We’re going to have to put in a lot of work. The competition in LB Cup has been fantastic, and the growth that my competitors have seen this season too is impressive and I’m just so proud of all of them and what they’ve done. I’ve loved battling with them all season. I just can’t wait for more.”

After a strong showing at Watkins Glen, the Lamborghini SC63 is heading to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the “Battle on the Bricks” with high hopes. Lamborghini Factory Driver Romain Grosjean, who led a significant portion of the previous race, will be joined by Edoardo Mortara in the #63 LMDh prototype. Mortara is stepping in for Mirko Bortolotti and making his first GTP class appearance since the season opener at Daytona.
The team is aiming to build on its best performance yet, which saw the #63 lead for a significant portion of the Watkins Glen six-hour race before a late-race fuel stop dropped it to seventh. The Indianapolis Road Course holds special significance, as it was the scene of the SC63’s breakthrough race last season. During that event, Grosjean famously carved his way from 10th to the lead before an unfortunate incident with a GTD car ended the day prematurely. The team is now eager for a strong, clean run to the checkered flag.
Lamborghini GT3s Also Aiming for a Strong Weekend
The #9 Pfaff Motorsports GTD Pro team, with drivers Marco Mapelli and Andrea Caldarelli, is looking to rebound from a tough race at Watkins Glen. Despite Caldarelli putting the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 on pole, a technical issue forced them to retire from the race. Mapelli is back in the car after missing the last round to compete in the Nürburgring 24 Hours.
In the GTD class, both the #45 Wayne Taylor Racing and #78 Forte Racing teams are looking for better results. The #45 crew of Danny Formal, Trent Hindman, and Graham Doyle will be pulling double duty, also competing in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series. They’ll be looking to bounce back from a late-race retirement at VIR. The #78 Forte Racing Huracán GT3 EVO2, driven by Mario Farnbacher and Misha Goikhberg, also has its sights set on a podium finish after a penalty at Mosport dropped them out of contention for a victory.
A Weekend of Racing and Support
In addition to the on-track action, Lamborghini Squadra Corse is supporting IMSA’s Resilient Racers program, which raises awareness for children facing serious illnesses. This weekend’s Resilient Racer is Franco Renhack, who has lived with epilepsy since he was a toddler. Franco’s name will be proudly displayed on the #63 Lamborghini SC63 throughout the event.
The “Battle on the Bricks” takes place on Sunday, September 21, with the race kicking off at 11:40 a.m. EST.

The championship battles in Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America continued at the 4.048-mile Road America circuit July 31 – August 3rd. In front of a massive crowd, 35 Lamborghinis put on an unforgettable show.
One of the standout performers was the #22 WSM/GPi Lamborghini, driven by Scott Huffaker and Jaden Conwright. The team showed blistering speed from the moment they unloaded the car, consistently running towards the front of the pack throughout the weekend.
Qualifying proved to be a chaotic affair. During the first session, a red flag came out before anyone could complete a lap. Despite being limited to just four laps once the track went green, the #22 still managed to secure the fifth-fastest overall time. The second qualifying session was even more challenging, with incidents eating up most of the track time. The team was fortunate to get in a single clean lap, which was enough to land them a fifth-place start in their class for Race 2.
In Race 1, the team’s hard work paid off, as they crossed the finish line in third place, extending their impressive podium streak. Race 2 was an intense battle, but Huffaker and Conwright once again piloted the #22 Graham Prewett Inc / WSM Huracán to a podium finish. Initially scored in second place, a post-race penalty for another team was later reversed, officially moving the #22 to third.
“This was a strong weekend for us,” said World Speed Team Manager Jan Trojan. “Jaden, Scott, and the entire crew performed flawlessly, and we earned podium finishes in both races. While the top spot is always the goal, securing two trophies and getting the car back without any damage is a testament to the skill and dedication of our drivers and team. We’re heading to the Brickyard with our eyes set on the top step.”
The #22 Graham Prewett Huracán has podiumed at every race weekend this season, and is now fourth in the Pro Championship standings as the series heads to its final North American race weekend Rounds 9 and 10 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway September 18th-20th.

In the annals of automotive history, few cars possess a mystique as profound as the Lamborghini Miura. But within this legendary lineage, one name stands out for its tantalizing blend of performance, innovation, and tragedy: the Miura Jota. This one-off test mule, built by the brilliant development driver Bob Wallace, was a testament to what Lamborghini was truly capable of, even though the company’s founder, Ferruccio Lamborghini, famously refused to enter the world of motorsports.
The story of the Jota begins in 1970. While company founders Giotto Bizzarrini and Gianpaolo Dallara had departed after Ferruccio’s steadfast refusal to go racing, chief technical officer Paulo Stanzani and Bob Wallace remained. Stanzani gave Wallace the green light to create a track-focused Miura, a project Wallace would undertake in his own time. The goal was to build a car that would conform to the FIA’s Appendix J racing regulations, hence the name “Jota.”
Wallace’s modifications were extensive and transformative. The most significant change was a dramatic reduction in weight. He replaced steel chassis components and body panels with a lightweight aluminum alloy called Avional, and swapped out the side windows for plastic. These changes resulted in a car that weighed approximately 800 lbs (360 kg) less than a production Miura. The Jota’s exterior also received a front spoiler and fixed, faired-in headlights, and the single large fuel tank was replaced with two smaller, sill-mounted units.
Under the skin, the Jota was a different beast altogether. The suspension was reworked, and the car was fitted with wider (9″ front, 12″ rear) and lighter wheels shod with low-profile Dunlop racing tires. The engine was heavily modified to produce between 418–440 bhp (312–328 kW) at a staggering 8800 rpm. This was achieved through an increased compression ratio (from 10.4:1 to 11.5:1), altered camshafts, electronic ignition, a dry-sump lubrication system, and a less restrictive exhaust. This combination of a powerful engine and a lightweight body meant the Jota could rocket from 0-62 mph in just 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 mph. Its specific power output was an impressive 110 bhp per liter—a remarkable achievement for a naturally aspirated engine of the era.
Despite its incredible performance and track-ready design, the Jota never raced. After extensive testing by Wallace, it was sold to a private buyer in 1971. Tragically, the car’s life was cut short when it crashed on an unopened ring road around Brescia and was completely destroyed in the ensuing fire.
The legend of the Jota, however, lived on. Its destruction led to a demand for similar cars, and Lamborghini itself created a limited run of “SVJ” replicas. While these cars borrowed some of the Jota’s styling cues, they were not as highly developed and were far more civilized. The legend also inspired other one-off creations, including the “Millechiodi” and a meticulously crafted tribute built by a passionate enthusiast named Piet Pulford. This recreation, built with the help of Bob Wallace himself, took 15 years to complete and is considered to be a near-perfect facsimile of the original Jota
