| North American Season Concludes with Quartet of Repeat Winners September 20, 2025By Tony DiZinnoIMSA Wire Service |
| Race Results INDIANAPOLIS – Racing against the backdrop of a gorgeous Saturday sunset at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America field concluded its North American portion of the 2025 calendar with a quartet of repeat winners from Friday’s Race 1. 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 despite limited green flag running on Saturday. The 50-minute race completed the opening couple laps before a three-car incident off Turn 14 onto the front straight of the oval that necessitated extensive track cleaning. Once that was clear, the race restarted with 23 minutes to go. Almost immediately, the pit window opened to ensure teams had the full 10-minute window to complete their mandatory pit stop. There was limited changing of positions as the leaders pitted early and got out straightaway. 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, with Hindman finishing second after taking over from Jackson Lee. Both Formal and Hindman will share WTR’s No. 45 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2 in Sunday’s TireRack.com Battle On The Bricks, the six-hour IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. “Not a lot of laps today, but every one counts,” Ericsson said. “It’s been a great weekend to once again match Road America with two wins here. I can’t wait to fight for the championship in Misano.” Formal added, “First of all I want to thank Hampus – he did very clear laps. It’s hard when you’re down the inside; it’s very dirty and easy to miss Turn 1. He got a nice little gap. The restart after the long yellow is not easy, because your adrenaline goes down, but he did a great restart.” Scott Huffaker and Jaden Conwright in their No. 22 World Speed Motorsports Huracán and Nick Persing and Giano 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 Racing Huracán after late-race contact. |
| Hindman and Lee won their third ProAm race in the last four races, with Paul 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. “Really fun weekend here at Indianapolis. There’s the expectation with me and Jackson to be in play for the win. The way it went is a really great result for the entire team,” said Hindman, who won on his birthday. Lee added, “Getting two class wins and two overall podiums, and to do it in mine and my team’s hometown makes it all the more special.” As on Friday, neither of the top two in the championship – the No. 11 MLT Motorsports Huracán of Darius Trinka and Tadas Karlinskas and the No. 67 TR3 Racing Huracán of Conrad Geis and Jason Hart – finished on the podium. |
| 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 Graham Doyle and Glenn McGee for the second straight race, the remaining podium finishers of David Staab (No. 48 Precision Performance Motorsports Huracán) and Lindsay Brewer and Jem Hepworth (No. 2 RAFA Racing Huracán) remain very much alive in the Am class championship battle. “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 also featured an identical podium to Friday. Groat again led home Rocky T. Bolduc (No. 99 RAFA Racing Huracán) and Christopher Tasca (No. 66 Forty7 Motorsports Huracán). “Finishing off the season here in Indy is a huge deal; Super Trofeo is my favorite thing in the world and I can’t wait to come back again,” Groat said. “The competition in LB Cup has been fantastic. I’m so proud of how my competitors have done.” 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 are Nov. 6 and 7 with the World Finals 2025 on Nov. 8 and 9. The 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 Huracán. Unofficially, the Ericsson/Formal pair leads Bamber and De La Torre by 18 points. Trinka and Karlinskas hold an unofficial seven-point lead in ProAm over Geis and Hart. The Am class closed significantly with Doyle and McGee unofficially just four ahead of Staab, and 10 ahead of Hepworth and Brewer, 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. |
