All four sets of class winners in Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America competition completed two-race weekend sweeps at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This weekend capped off the North American portion of the season.

Danny Formal and Hampus Ericsson (No. 1 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2, Pro), Trent Hindman and Jackson Lee (No. 69 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2, ProAm), Mateo Siderman (No. 63 TR3 Racing, Lamborghini Westlake, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2, Am) and Nick Groat (No. 57 ONE Motorsports, Lamborghini Newport Beach, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2, Am) all followed up their Friday wins on Saturday.

The North American championship has two races remaining as part of the Lamborghini World Final at the Misano World Circuit in Italy. The two championship rounds, Rounds 11 and 12, are Nov. 6 and 7 with the World Finals 2025 on Nov. 8 and 9.

A perfect points weekend for Ericsson and Formal in Pro sees them more than a race win clear of Will Bamber and Elias De La Torre in the No. 29 TR3 Racing, Lamborghini Miami, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2. Unofficially, the Ericsson/Formal pair leads Bamber and De La Torre by 18 points.

In ProAm, Darius Trinka and Tadas Karlinskas (No. 11 MLT Motorsports, Lamborghini Charlotte, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2) hold an unofficial seven-point lead in ProAm over Conrad Geis and Jason Hart (No. 67 TR3 Racing, Lamborghini Miami, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2).

The Am class closed significantly with Graham Doyle and Glenn McGee (No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2) now just unofficially just four points ahead of David Staab (No. 48 Precision Performance Motorsports, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2) and 10 ahead of Jem Hepworth and Lindsay Brewer (No. 2 RAFA Racing, Lamborghini Austin, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2) heading to Italy.

LB Cup, however, has been unofficially wrapped in Groat’s favor. With the double win in Indianapolis, he has an unofficial 35-point lead with a maximum of 32 points remaining. This would ensure a second straight LB Cup title for him.

Pro

Race 1: The Pro race was largely an uneventful affair up front with Formal and Ericsson leading 30 of the 32 laps from pole, only losing the lead during the mandatory pit stop sequence. However, for championship rivals Bamber and De La Torre in the No. 29 TR3 Huracán, the race complexion changed just after the start. Bamber had a slow getaway and both he and De La Torre spent the remainder of the race recovering. Jaden Conwright and Scott Huffaker finished a season-best second in their No. 22 World Speed Motorsports Huracán with Nick Persing and the returning Giano Taurino third in the second WTR Pro entry, the team’s No. 8 Huracán.

Race 2: Ericsson started the No. 1 WTR Huracán and handed off to Formal for the finish. For a second straight day, the leading WTR entries in both Pro and ProAm finished 1-2 overall. Huffaker and Conwright in their No. 22 World Speed Motorsports Huracán and Persing and Taurino in the No. 8 WTR Huracán completed the Pro podium, as postrace time penalties were assessed to the No. 4 ANSA Motorsports Huracán and No. 29 TR3 Huracán after late-race contact.

ProAm

Race 1: The ProAm race was nothing short of wild from the start, with a one-point gap between the two championship rivals entering the race and an unofficial five-point gap leaving it. Hindman enjoyed a clean start in his No. 69 WTR Huracán and handed over to Lee, who brought the car home to the finish in his home race in front of a host of longtime friends and family. It’s the first time Lee has had the same co-driver in successive Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America races this season, with Hindman his fourth different co-driver.

The varying fortunes of the championship-leading No. 11 MLT Huracán of Trinka and Karlinskas and the No. 67 TR3 Huracán of Geis and Hart was quite a story. Both fought through incidents with the No. 11 car fading and the No. 67 car dealt with a front puncture and retirement. In the midst of the championship leaders’ woes, both Flying Lizard cars made the podium with Paul Nemschoff and Marc Miller second in the No. 41 Huracán and Andy Lee and Slade Stewart third in the No. 14 Huracán.

Race 2: Hindman and Lee won their third ProAm race in the last four races, with Nemschoff and Marc Miller second for the second straight day in the No. 41 Flying Lizard Motorsports Huracán ahead of Joel Miller and Frank Szczesniak in the No. 88 Forty7 Motorsports Huracán. As on Friday, neither of the top two in the championship – Trinka and Karlinskas and Geis and Hart – finished on the podium.

Am

Race 1: The Am class had a similar battle of woes for its own championship contenders, with each of the top three entries in the standings off the podium. It opened the door for some newer podium finishers, with Siderman leading a TR3 1-2 ahead of Dean Neuls (No. 70 Huracán) and Garrett Adams and Andre Lagartixa (No. 25 Alliance Racing Huracán). It was each driver’s best finish of the season.

Race 2: Am continued the theme of repeats with Siderman completing a weekend sweep for TR3 Racing. With issues for the championship-leading No. 10 WTR Huracán of Doyle and McGee for the second straight race, the remaining podium finishers of Staab and Brewer and Hepworth remain very much alive in the Am class championship battle.

LB Cup

Race 1: LB Cup saw Groat get even closer to a repeat title, with Rocky T. Bolduc (No. 99 RAFA Racing Huracán) and Christopher Tasca (No. 66 Forty7 Motorsports Huracán) completing the podium.

Race 2: LB Cup, like Pro, featured an identical podium to Friday. Groat again led home Bolduc and Tasca.

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.”

David Staab (No. 48 Precision Performance Motorsports): “It means a lot to get another podium after all the work that we put into this season. And, you know, we've had our share of bad luck throughout, and I've definitely been there on that side of it, but it was great to come away with good ones. It was a good haul of points this weekend.”

Jem Hepworth (No. 2 RAFA Racing): “We fought through some challenges this weekend, handed over to Lindsay and luckily we kept the position. She was chasing down P2 and yeah, we're still in the championship fight, so we're happy. Misano is one of my closest tracks, so we're going for it.”

Lindsay Brewer (No. 2 RAFA Racing): “Jem passed me a great car and yeah, struggled at the beginning to warm up the tires, but later on, we gained more and more pace. I wish there was a few more laps because I think I would have got second. Thanks to RAFA Racing, thanks to Jem and hopefully we can take home the championship in Misano.”

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.”
