Flying Lizard Lamborghinis Flock to Watkins Glen International for Next Super Trofeo Rounds
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y., (June 21, 2023) – Six weeks have passed since the start of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season commenced, and Flying Lizard Motorsports has arrived to Watkins Glen International for Rounds Three and Four of the championship fight. The ten-time sports car racing champions have four-full season Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo Evo2 cars, and with two rounds complete, the team currently sits fifth in the overall team standings.
“We had a good start to the season at Laguna Seca with getting two of our four cars on the podium and a pole position in qualifying,” said Program Manager Darren Law. “We are all looking forward to Watkins Glen this weekend. It is one of the best tracks in the US and we have had a lot of success there in the past.”
After scoring the Pro-Am class victory in race one at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Chris Bellomo and Johannes van Overbeek (No. 68) currently stand in third in the Pro-Am driver championship rankings. The pairing of Paul Nemschoff and Marc Miller (No. 41) also celebrated podium success at Laguna Seca, earning a third-place finish from pole position in race two. Momentum is on Tom Tait’s side (No. 64) after a Super Trofeo career-best fourth-place finish in the series, while Slade Stewart and Andy Lee (No. 14) hope to shake off the bad luck that plagued the duo in the previous rounds to return to their first podium of 2023.
Running in support of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s Six Hours of the Glen, the Lamborghini Super Trofeo paddock will be accessible to all fans, who will also get a large dose of racing all weekend long, at one of North America’s favorite road courses. Watkins Glen International, often referred to as “The Glen,” it is one of the most iconic road racing circuits in North America. The track has a rich history and has been hosting various forms of motorsport events since its establishment in 1956.
The circuit is set amidst the picturesque Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, providing a beautiful and scenic backdrop for racing enthusiasts. The track itself spans 3.4 miles (5.43 kilometers) and features a combination of fast straights, challenging turns, and elevation changes, making it a favorite among drivers and fans alike.
The 2023 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America championship allows for both professionals and amateurs to race in the one-make series across the country, competing in four classes: Pro, Pro/Am, Am, and LB Cup. Each entry in the series can have either one or two drivers per car, with one mandatory pit stop required for all cars mid-race in a ten-minute window. In order, the series will host five doubleheaders at some of North America’s best and favorite road courses. The championship will conclude in Vallelunga, Italy where the North American competitors will fight in two final rounds for their series, then two more against all worldwide Lamborghini Super Trofeo competitors for the world title.
