Danny Formal and Hampus Ericsson Secure Top Spot in Round One of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo

Danny Formal and Hampus Ericsson Secure Top Spot in Round One of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo

Sebring International Raceway roared to life as Danny Formal and Hampus Ericsson piloted the No. 1 Wayne Taylor Racing (WTR) Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 to a commanding victory in the opening round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season. WTR’s day was a masterclass in racing strategy and execution, culminating in multiple class wins.

Formal laid the groundwork with a blistering first stint, building a substantial lead before a multi-car collision triggered a full-course caution. The ensuing pit window, timed perfectly by WTR, allowed Ericsson to inherit the lead and control the race from the restart. The No. 1 machine crossed the line a decisive 10.731 seconds ahead of TR3’s Elias De La Torre and Will Bamber, who fought valiantly for second. Jaden Conwright and Scott Huffaker secured the final podium spot in their No. 22 World Speed entry, followed closely by WTR’s Nick Persing and the No. 4 ANSA Motorsports Lamborghini.

The Pro-Am class saw Anthony McIntosh and Brendon Leitch of WTR capitalize on a late-race spin by Tyler Hoffman, who struggled with cold tires after a strong opening stint by teammate Luke Berkeley in the No. 28 Alliance Racing Lamborghini. WTR’s dominance continued in the Am class, with Graham Doyle and Glenn McGee delivering a comfortable victory over David Staab’s solo effort in the No. 48 Precision Performance Motorsports entry.

In the LB Cup, Nick Groat of One Motorsports emerged victorious, with Mark Brummond’s Forty7 Motorsports machine trailing behind. The race was punctuated by a dramatic three-car incident early on, resulting in significant damage to Adrian Kunzle’s MLT Motorsports entry, Clay Wilson’s No. 37 TR3 Lamborghini, and cosmetic damage to the No. 99 RAFA Racing machine. Kunzle, penalized for incident responsibility, was unable to serve his penalty due to retirement. Wilson’s stricken TR3 required recovery from Turn 15. Mateo Siderman also retired early, pulling his No. 63 TR3 machine behind the Turn 13 wall under caution.

The timing of the caution period created a strategic pit stop window challenge, with the 10-minute window opening with just over 30 minutes remaining. Notably, Andy Lee and Slade Stewart’s No. 14 Flying Lizard Motorsports Lamborghini was a non-starter due to qualifying crash damage, despite Lee’s impressive second-place qualifying effort in Pro-Am. David Hodge’s No. 25 Alliance Racing machine also failed to start.

The stage is set for an electrifying Race 2, scheduled for Friday at 5:05 p.m. EST.  Watch the action live and on rebroadcast here…

VIR Team Kaizen Autosport Steps Up to Lamborghini’s Elite Series

VIR Team Kaizen Autosport Steps Up to Lamborghini’s Elite Series

Kaizen Autosport, a name synonymous with driver development and racing excellence at Virginia International Raceway (VIR), has announced its bold entry into the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America series. The team’s expansion marks a significant milestone, transitioning from successful programs in Porsche Sprint Challenge, Trans Am, and Ginetta Challenge to the high-profile IMSA-sanctioned single-make championship.

“After six years of building Kaizen into a world-class racing school and training program, we are thrilled to take this next step into Pro racing with our entry into the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Series,” declares team owner Peter Heffring. This move underscores Kaizen’s commitment to nurturing talent and competing at the highest levels of motorsports.

The team’s No. 44 Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2, adorned with a striking livery, will be piloted by the duo of Seth Henry and Wyatt Foster. This venture is made possible through the support of Magellan Financial and Alloy Wealth Management, with the car owned by Mark Henry, Alloy’s founder and CEO.

Seth Henry, a remarkable talent transitioning from oval tracks to road racing, brings a compelling story to the team. As the inaugural Ginetta Challenge North America champion, his rapid ascent is a testament to Kaizen’s training prowess. “I began my racing career with Kaizen Autosport without road racing experience,” Seth explains. “In my first year, I became the 2024 North American Ginetta Challenge champion, winning seven out of ten races, and now I’m competing in IMSA. It’s a dream come true.”

Wyatt Foster, Kaizen’s director of driver development and a seasoned professional coach, completes the driver lineup. “I’ve been part of the Kaizen family for six years,” Foster shares. “I’m honored to use my coaching and driving skills to help launch this new team.” His experience and expertise will be invaluable as Kaizen aims to make an immediate impact in the fiercely competitive Super Trofeo series.

Kaizen Autosport’s move into Lamborghini Super Trofeo signifies a pivotal moment in the team’s evolution. With a blend of emerging talent and seasoned experience, they are poised to make their mark on the championship, bringing their unique blend of driver development and racing passion to the forefront of the series.

Colin Queen Set for Super Trofeo Debut at Sebring

Colin Queen Set for Super Trofeo Debut at Sebring

American hotshoe Colin Queen, 20, is trading open-wheelers for a roof and a raging bull, signing with ANSA Motorsports for the 2024 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season. Queen, fresh from a European single-seater stint, will share an ANSA-prepped Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO2 with fellow young gun Enzo Geraci in the Pro class. Think of it as a racing mullet: business in the front (single-seaters), party in the back (GT racing).

“Transitioning to GT is a whole new ballgame,” Queen told us. “It’s about teamwork, strategy, and getting your head around a 600-plus horsepower beast. Plus, these American tracks are nothing like the Euro circuits I’m used to.”

Queen’s been hitting the books, or rather, the track, with a recent two-day test at Sebring. “The ANSA crew is top-notch. I gelled with the car quick, which is crucial,” he said. “Now, it’s about nailing the details and hitting Sebring running.” And nail it he better. Queen’s got big ambitions. “Endurance racing is the ultimate goal,” he said. “Super Trofeo is the perfect proving ground for team dynamics and race craft.”

Forget the lone wolf stuff. This is a team effort. “It’s about pushing each other with Enzo, maximizing every session, and executing a flawless strategy,” Queen emphasized. The Sebring test proved Queen’s adaptability, but the real test comes next weekend. The Super Trofeo season kicks off at Sebring, supporting the legendary Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. Expect Queen to be thrown into the deep end, battling seasoned GT veterans and learning the ropes of multi-class racing. “Driving a Lamborghini is an honor,” Queen said. “It’s a legendary brand, and I’m ready to push this machine to its limits.”

Lamborghini Super Trofeo: Huffaker and Conwright Unite with World Speed for Championship Push

A formidable driver lineup has been unveiled for the upcoming Lamborghini Super Trofeo season, with IMSA race-winning talent Scott Huffaker spearheading the Graham Prewett Incorporated/World Speed Motorsports #22 Lamborghini Huracán. Joining him is Lamborghini factory driver Jaden Conwright, creating a potent combination focused on championship contention.

Scott Huffaker, who impressed with his pace and consistency during a limited 2024 Super Trofeo campaign in the #22 GPI Lamborghini, brings a wealth of experience to the team. His impressive resume includes Formula Ford 1600 and F4 championships, a Team USA Scholarship Award, and a prestigious 12 Hours of Sebring victory. Huffaker’s success extends beyond North America, with podium finishes in Europe and Asia across various racing disciplines, including multiple IMSA LMP2 race wins at Sebring.

Jaden Conwright, a Lamborghini factory driver, returns to World Speed, a team where his racing journey began. In 2014, he received the VMB Driver Development Scholarship, quickly proving his talent by winning the Formula Car Challenge FS championship in his rookie season. He continued his success with World Speed, securing the vice-champion title in the Pro Formula Mazda class in 2015.

Conwright’s career then took him to the international stage, achieving a third-place finish in the 2017 Asian FIA F3 series and nine podiums in the 2019 Porsche GT3 Carrera Cup Italia. Back in the United States, Conwright was awarded the 2022 IMSA Diverse Driver Development Scholarship.

“Stepping into Super Trofeo with World Speed support and Scott and Jaden behind the wheel is a perfect combination. I can’t wait to see them behind the wheel, pushing the limits and bringing home podium finishes for Graham Prewett Incorporated” stated car owner Sean Prewett.

World Speed Team Principal Telo Stewart expressed his enthusiasm for the driver pairing, stating, “Scott proved to be very fast in the races he drove in 2024, and we are thrilled to have him leading the charge. Jaden has a long winning history with World Speed, and we are excited to have him back on the team. We know what each of these drivers is capable of, and we’re excited to see what they will accomplish as teammates.”

Testing for the #22 GPI Huracán is currently underway, with the season opener set for March 12th-14th at Sebring International Raceway.

Leading the charge in the Pro class is two-time series champion Danny Formal, who will team up with highly touted newcomer Hampus Ericsson in the No. 1 Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2. Formal, a force to be reckoned with, will once again balance his Super Trofeo duties with a full-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD campaign in WTR’s Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2. “It’s incredible to be back with the WTR family,” Formal exclaimed, highlighting his impressive record of 22 Super Trofeo Pro wins. Ericsson, fresh from a World Finals victory in Europe, is eager to make his North American racing debut with “one of the best, if not the best, Lamborghini Super Trofeo teams out there.”

Nick Persing will pilot WTR’s second Pro entry as a solo driver, stepping up from the Pro-Am ranks where he secured six victories. “This will be a year of growth,” Persing stated, aiming for podiums and wins in the highly competitive Pro class.

The Pro-Am category sees a powerhouse pairing as reigning Am class champion Anthony McIntosh joins forces with Brendon Leitch. The duo, fresh from their Pro-Am World Final championship, is determined to continue their winning streak. “We have one goal: to win the Pro-Am title,” Leitch declared. McIntosh, who dominated the Am class with seven wins, is equally enthusiastic about his Pro-Am debut.

Rounding out the WTR lineup are Glenn McGee and Graham Doyle, who will team up in the Am class. McGee, a two-time class champion, will share driving duties with Doyle, who enters his third season with the team and also serves as WTR’s third driver in its GTD program. “I’ve grown immensely over the past two years,” Doyle said, expressing excitement about partnering with McGee. McGee added, “With WTR’s support, we’ll be a tough car to beat.”

With a blend of seasoned champions and ambitious newcomers, Wayne Taylor Racing is poised to make a significant impact when the Lamborghini Super Trofeo season kicks off at Sebring International Raceway next month.
