For aspiring racers and seasoned drivers looking to hone their craft at the pinnacle of motorsport, Standing Start Driver Development has unveiled an exhilarating new program, putting the raw power and precision of the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 directly into the hands of its students. This isn’t your average track day; it’s an immersive, one-on-one journey designed to elevate driving skills to a championship-winning level.
Founded by World Speed Motorsports, a venerable institution in driver development with over 30 years of experience, Standing Start is built on a philosophy of personalized instruction and uncompromising quality. Their new Lamborghini program is a testament to this commitment, offering an unparalleled opportunity to master a modern, factory-built race car.
“This is NOT a racing school car, or a modified street car,” emphasizes the Standing Start team. “This is a 620 horsepower machine built at the Lamborghini factory to compete on some of the greatest tracks in the world.” The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, co-engineered with Italian racing legends Dallara, boasts a carbon fiber body, sequential racing transaxle, fully adjustable anti-roll bars, Öhlins dampers, and bespoke racing tires – every element designed for ultimate performance and driver feedback.
What truly sets Standing Start apart is its “one-on-one” format. Unlike traditional racing schools where students can be constrained by the pace of the group, Standing Start programs are meticulously structured around a single driver. This means exclusive track time, a dedicated professional race team, and focused coaching that directly addresses the individual’s strengths and weaknesses.
“At a racing school, you can be at the mercy of the level of the other students,” notes Standing Start. “With our program, we focus on the concepts you are struggling with, and move on quickly on the ones you have mastered. Practice DOES NOT make perfect, it only makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect. You will learn the difference with Standing Start’s systems.”
The program’s comprehensive approach goes beyond mere lap times. Drivers will delve into crucial aspects of competitive racing, including:
- Lap time reduction techniques: Analyzing data and optimizing every corner.
- Race strategy: Understanding fuel management, tire degradation, and pit stop timing.
- Overtaking tactics: Developing the confidence and skill to make decisive passes.
Imagine sliding into the snug, carbon-fiber bucket seat of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Huracán. The minimalist interior, focused purely on performance, cocoons you. As the naturally aspirated V10 roars to life behind you, a visceral symphony of mechanical fury and precision engineering vibrates through your very being. This is the same beast used in worldwide competition.
For those serious about advancing their racing careers or simply experiencing the thrill of a cutting-edge race car in a professional environment, Standing Start Driver Development’s new Lamborghini program offers a pathway to unlock true potential. With a lineage of World Speed alumni competing and winning in prestigious series like IndyCar, NASCAR, IMSA, and GT World Challenge, the new Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 program is set to forge the next generation of motorsport champions.

The 2025 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North American Championship has officially hit its halfway point, and the World Speed Motorsports #22 Lamborghini, piloted by Scott Huffaker and Jaden Conwright, continues to demonstrate exceptional performance.
The team’s remarkable consistency this season has seen them complete every lap of every session, lead race laps, and consistently land on the podium at every track they’ve visited. Their recent showing at Watkins Glen was yet another testament to the team’s precision and unwavering focus.
Practice and Qualifying: Navigating a Crowded Field
The weekend started strong for the #22, with the team clocking the 3rd fastest time in Practice Session 1 and the 4th fastest in Practice Session 2.
Qualifying proved to be a challenging affair, with 37 cars vying for a clean lap on the iconic Watkins Glen circuit. Despite the congestion, the team secured an 11th place starting position for Race One.
For the Race Two qualifying session, strategic adjustments were made, and the #22 started with excellent track position. However, a red flag on the very first lap brought an abrupt halt to their progress. With only six minutes remaining after the restart, the team made the most of the limited time, improving their starting position to 8th for Race Two.
The Races: Fighting for the Podium
Race One saw the #22 make significant strides, gaining five positions to finish in 6th place. While this secured valuable championship points, the team’s sights are firmly set on winning, not just collecting points.
In Race Two, starting from 8th, Jaden Conwright delivered a stellar performance, picking up five positions on the track. The World Speed pit crew executed a flawless mandatory stop, further cementing their advantage. Scott Huffaker then brought the #22 home, masterfully navigating the final laps to secure a well-deserved 2nd place overall finish.
Up Next…
The World Speed Motorsports #22 team’s consistent strong performances continue to make them a formidable force in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North American Championship. After a month-plus break, Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America resumes at Road America for Rounds 7 and 8 over a four-day weekend from July 31 to August 3, 2025.
In addition to the #22, World Speed Motorsports also provides support for the #33 WSM Huracán. This car has been fast and successful too, securing a podium finish at its inaugural appearance and claiming pole position at the 2025 WeatherTech Laguna Seca event with driver Dario Capitanio.

The 2025 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America races at Watkins Glen International are scheduled for June 19-21, 2025. This event marks the third round of the 2025 Super Trofeo North America calendar and is part of the larger Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen weekend, which also features the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca played host to a challenging weekend for World Speed Motorsports during the latest rounds of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America championship. Despite flashes of brilliance, including a podium finish and significant time spent leading the pack, the team faced the unpredictable nature of motorsport.
Race one of the weekend kicked off with a stellar performance from the #15 entry, securing a commanding pole position for race one. Dario Capitanio translated that advantage into a dominant stint, leading an impressive 15 laps and controlling the overall pace of the race. Co-driver Cam Aliabadi brought the #15 home for a top five finish in the Pro-Am class.
Meanwhile, Scott Huffaker & Jaden Conwright in the World Speed/Graham Prewett #22 car also demonstrated impressive speed, consistently running at the sharp end of the pack. The team’s hard work culminated in the #22 machine securing a well-deserved podium finish, a testament to the combined efforts of driver and crew.
A critical element of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series is the mandatory pit stop, and the World Speed crew proved to be in a league of their own. Their pit stops were consistently the quickest across the entire field, highlighting the team’s meticulous preparation and flawless execution under pressure.
The raw pace of both World Speed Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVOs was evident throughout the weekend. Race two provided further proof, with the #22 car clocking a fastest lap time of 1:24.446, a mere fraction of a second behind the reigning LST champion and Lamborghini GT3 ace Danny Formal’s fastest lap of 1:24.410.
Despite the undeniable speed and operational excellence, the weekend didn’t unfold perfectly. As World Speed Communications Director Mark Milazzo noted, “The crew delivered, the cars and drivers delivered, but sometimes the other factors that can effect your race turn your wins and podiums into better-luck-next-times.” Minor penalties, lapped traffic, and even a punctured tire were just some of the unforeseen unfortunate elements of the races for WSM.
Nevertheless, the weekend provided significant positives. The #15 car’s pole position and extended time at the front, coupled with the #22’s consistent front-running pace and podium finish, showcased the strength of the World Speed program. The team also garnered considerable attention, with TV commentators recognizing their position as a smaller, independent outfit – “a real David team battling the Goliaths like Wayne Taylor Racing.”
Despite the inherent challenges of racing, World Speed remains resolute. The team plans to capitalize on their demonstrated speed and continue their fight for victories in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America championship. The Monterey weekend, while tough, served as a clear indication of World Speed’s potential and sets the stage for an exciting continuation of the season.
Next up are round five and six at Watkins Glen International Raceway June 19 – 21, 2025.

Wayne Taylor Racing (WTR) reinforced its early-season dominance in the 2025 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season, adding four victories at the iconic WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca to their impressive five wins secured at Sebring International Raceway. However, the IMSA TireRack.com Monterey SportsCar Championship weekend witnessed several other teams stepping into the winner’s circle, showcasing the depth of talent and competition within the series.
Flying Lizard Motorsports (Pro-Am), Precision Performance Motorsports (Am), One Motorsports (LB Cup), and MLT Motorsports (LB Cup) all celebrated at least one victory during the action-packed weekend, proving that the championship battle is far from a one-team show.
The spoils were shared amongst Lamborghini dealerships as well, with Lamborghini Palm Beach represented by the victorious Wayne Taylor Racing, Flying Lizard Motorsports, and Precision Performance Motorsports entries. Lamborghini Newport Beach saw its colors fly high with One Motorsports’ LB Cup win, while Lamborghini Greenwich celebrated MLT Motorsports’ LB Cup triumph.
The weekend was highlighted by a stellar performance from Nick Persing in the No. 8 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2. The Boise State University student, who previously notched four Pro-Am wins last season (including one at Laguna Seca), secured a remarkable double victory in the Pro class at what he considers his “home track.” Sunday’s Race 2 was a true thriller, with Persing narrowly edging out his WTR teammate Danny Formal in the sister No. 1 Huracán by an incredibly tight margin of just 0.006 of a second in a breathtaking photo finish.
The theme of “bounce back” resonated throughout the weekend. Flying Lizard Motorsports’ Slade Stewart and Andy Lee, piloting their fan-favorite pink No. 14 “unicorn livery” Huracán, repeated their 2024 Pro-Am victory at Monterey in Saturday’s Round 3 after a disappointing non-start to their season opener at Sebring. Despite a challenging Round 3 that saw incidents sideline three WTR cars, the team demonstrated its resilience. Anthony McIntosh and Brendon Leitch emerged victorious in Pro-Am in Round 4, while Glenn McGee and Graham Doyle claimed the Am class win.
David Staab continued his family’s strong tradition at WeatherTech Raceway. The Precision Performance Motorsports driver secured an Am class victory in Round 3, marking the family’s fourth consecutive year on the podium at the Monterey circuit. This followed his brother Michael Staab’s impressive double LB Cup win in a similar No. 48 PPM Huracán in 2024. In the LB Cup class, Nick Groat and Adrian Kunzle split the victories. Kunzle’s Round 4 win, driving the No. 42 MLT Motorsports entry, snapped Groat’s three-race winning streak at the start of his championship defense.
Pro Class:
Race 1: Persing, starting from fourth overall and third in Pro, initially trailed his teammate Danny Formal in the No. 1 Huracán and the No. 29 TR3 Racing entry of Will Bamber and Elias de la Torre IV. However, when Ericsson in the No. 1 car encountered a mechanical issue while leading on Lap 23, the door opened for a captivating battle between de la Torre and Persing. Persing executed the decisive move at the inside of Turn 11, crossing the finish line a mere 0.036 seconds ahead. A subsequent incident for the No. 29 car elevated Cameron Lawrence and Werner Neugebauer in the No. 68 RAFA Racing Huracán and Scott Huffaker and Jaden Conwright in the No. 22 World Speed Huracán to the Pro podium.
Race 2: Starting from pole position, Persing led the majority of the 31-lap race, only relinquishing the lead during the pit stop cycle. A late restart with just over two minutes remaining set the stage for a thrilling two-lap sprint to the finish. Persing expertly defended his lead against a hard-charging Formal, who made a daring over-under passing attempt exiting Turn 11. Formal’s momentum carried him alongside Persing, but he ultimately fell short by an agonizing 0.006 of a second. Colin Queen and Enzo Geraci in the No. 36 ANSA Motorsports Huracán, a Lamborghini Squadra Corse Young Driver Program duo, secured their first podium finish of the season in third.
Pro-Am Class:
Race 1: The Pro-Am race was a chaotic affair with four different leaders. Flying Lizard Motorsports initially led with both its entries. The No. 41 Huracán of Marc Miller and Paul Nemschoff stayed out longest during the pit window but ultimately fell back. Andy Lee, taking over the No. 14 Huracán co-driven with Slade Stewart, surged to the lead. Darius Trinka and Tadas Karlinskas finished second in their No. 11 Kaizen Autosport Huracán, while series returnee AJ Muss and Jackson Lee claimed third in the No. 88 Forty7 Motorsports entry after limited practice.
Race 2: McIntosh and Leitch in the No. 69 Wayne Taylor Racing Huracán mirrored Persing’s dominance, leading for 26 of the 31 laps and only losing the top spot during the pit stop sequence. The two Flying Lizard Motorsports cars of Nemschoff/Miller (No. 41) and Stewart/Lee (No. 14) completed the Pro-Am podium.
Am Class:
Race 1: Despite five different cars leading at least one lap, David Staab in the No. 48 Precision Performance Motorsports Huracán led all but four laps. Dean Neuls finished second in the No. 70 TR3 Racing Huracán, ahead of the all-female duo of Lindsay Brewer and Jem Hepworth in the No. 2 RAFA Racing Huracán, who secured their second consecutive podium after their historic finish at Sebring.
Race 2: McGee and Doyle in the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Huracán led for 29 of the 31 laps, only briefly losing the lead during the pit stop cycle. The TR3 Racing entries of Mateo Siderman (No. 63) and Dean Neuls (No. 70) rounded out the Am podium after several position changes following the final restart.
LB Cup Class:
Race 1: Nick Groat in the No. 57 ONE Motorsports Huracán engaged in a race-long battle with Adrian Kunzle, who made a class switch to the expanded 10-car LB Cup grid. Kunzle finished second in the No. 42 MLT Motorsports entry, with Mark Brummond third in the No. 52 Forty7 Motorsports Huracán.
Race 2: Kunzle emerged as the first non-Groat winner in the LB Cup class in 2025 after a late-race fight with Rocky T. Bolduc in the No. 99 RAFA Racing Huracán. Ray Shahi finished third in the No. 65 Forte Racing Huracán.
The Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season continues to deliver thrilling racing action, with Wayne Taylor Racing showing formidable pace while other teams rise to challenge their dominance. The Laguna Seca weekend provided a captivating spectacle, setting the stage for an exciting continuation of the 2025 championship battle.
