SEBRING, Fla. (March 15, 2025) – Wayne Taylor Racing scored five total victories across three classes, One Motorsports doubled up in the fourth class, and Rearden Racing added the final victory of the opening weekend at Sebring International Raceway to kick off the 2025 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season. Lamborghini Dealers support the Lamborghini Super Trofeo race teams, as 14 teams and 12 dealers were represented in Sebring among the 36 Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2 cars entered for the weekend.
In Pro, Danny Formal and Hampus Ericsson completed a near-perfect weekend in their No. 1 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo Evo2. The pairing led both practice sessions, scored both pole positions, set both fastest race laps and won both races while leading all but three of 43 combined race laps.
Their Am class teammates Graham Doyle and Glenn McGee in the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Huracán, enjoyed a similar dominant double albeit with only one pole position and one fastest race lap.
The ProAm pairing of Brendon Leitch and Anthony McIntosh in the No. 69 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Huracán scored the Thursday win while an incident for McIntosh on Friday erased a potential double. That opened the door for Darius Trinka and Tadas Karlinskas to take the Friday ProAm win in their No. 33 Rearden Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Huracán.
Nick Groat, in the No. 57 One Motorsports, Lamborghini Newport Beach, Huracán, started his campaign off strong with both LB Cup wins.
Formal (Pro, 2022 and 2023), McGee (Am, 2023 and 2024) and Groat (LB Cup, 2024) are all past Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America class champions getting their 2025 championship campaigns off to strong starts.
Pro
Race 1: Formal followed up the pairing’s practice pacesetting with pole position and an unchallenged run to the win. Once the mandatory pit stop window opened, Formal extended the on-track time to pit with plenty of time to stop and hand his car over to Ericsson. The Swede stepped aboard the No. 1 Huracán left the pits with a lead of more than 2.5 seconds and extended it to 10.731 seconds by the end of the 22-lap race around Sebring’s 3.74-mile circuit.
TR3 Racing scored second with Will Bamber and Elias de la Torre in their No. 29, Lamborghini Miami, Huracán, finishing ahead of World Speed Motorsports in third with Jaden Conwright and Scott Huffaker in their No. 22, Lamborghini Hawaii, Huracán.
Race 2: Ericsson started Friday’s race from pole and led until making the mandatory pit stop, building the lead to more than four seconds over de la Torre in the No. 29 TR3 Racing Huracán. Formal cycled back to the lead by more than five seconds after the stop was complete, although a full-course caution negated that margin. The race finished under caution following a single-car incident in Turn 14.
In an identical podium to Thursday, de la Torre and Bamber finished second in their No. 29 TR3 car ahead of Conwright and Huffaker in the No. 22 World Speed car in third.
ProAm
Race 1: Despite starting sixth in ProAm, Leitch and McIntosh progressed forward early as they pitted in the earlier portion of the pit window and ascended to the class lead by Lap 12. They took a lead they would not relinquish and scored the class win by 5.208 seconds.
Flying Lizard Motorsports, with Marc Miller and Paul Nemschoff sharing the No. 41, Lamborghini Newport Beach, Huracán finished second with Rearden Racing’s Darius Trinka and Tadas Karlinskas third in the No. 33, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Huracán.
Race 2: ProAm was less straightforward than Thursday with three different leaders, and a fourth contender falling out just shy of the finish. RAFA Racing’s Kiko Porto led from class pole in the No. 81 Huracán until pitting on Lap 11 and handing off to Nick Monteiro. Flying Lizard Motorsports’ Marc Miller briefly inherited the top spot before his own stop in the No. 41 Huracán, at which time Monteiro resumed the lead.
But with a 10-second time penalty looming for a false start on the initial start, the No. 81 car was doomed to drop down the order. The No. 69 Wayne Taylor Racing Huracán was poised to take over the top spot, but Anthony McIntosh spun in Turn 14 and hit the tire barrier. With McIntosh out, the Trinka and Karlinskas No. 33 Rearden Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Huracán leapt into the lead and the victory. Conrad Geis and Jason Hart were second in ProAm in the No. 67 TR3 Racing Huracán, with Seth Henry and Wyatt Foster third in the No. 44 Kaizen Autosport Huracán.
Am
Race 1: Doyle and McGee dominated in Am and won by 21.471 seconds. Both Doyle and Formal are part of WTR’s WeatherTech Championship team and got the win before competing in the rest of the weekend in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
David Staab was second in the No. 48 Precision Performance Motorsports, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Huracán with Christopher Tasca and Jackson Lee third in the No. 88 Forty7 Motorsports, Lamborghini Greenwich, Huracán. Lee completed a ninth-to-third in class podium comeback during his stint.
Race 2: Doyle and McGee doubled up in Am in their No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Huracán, although only led the last eight laps in class after starting in pole. Jackson Lee led from pole in class in his No. 88 Forty7 Motorsport Huracán but an incident for his co-driver after a tough pit stop put the race under full-course caution. McGee positioned the No. 10 car for success after climbing from fourth to second before pitting, then handing off to Doyle who took the lead post pit-stops.
Staab was second again in the No. 48 PPM Huracán ahead of the all-female driver lineup of Lindsay Brewer and Jem Hepworth in the No. 2 RAFA Racing, Lamborghini Austin, Huracán.
LB Cup
Race 1: Groat continued through an uneventful race in LB Cup as some of his competitors around him hit trouble. Mark Brummond was second in the No. 52 Forty7 Motorsports, Lamborghini Philadelphia, Huracán and Stephen Sorbaro was third in the No. 94 ANSA Motorsports, Lamborghini Palm Beach, Huracán
Race 2: On Friday, the driver of the No. 57 One Motorsports, Lamborghini Newport Beach, Huracán, was in the right place at the right time after passing both Friday leaders, Mark Brummond (No. 52 Forty7 Motorsports) and Rocky T. Bolduc (No. 99 RAFA Racing) after a restart. They finished second and third.
Quotes:
Danny Formal (Pro, No. 1 Wayne Taylor Racing): “(WTR VP and General Manager) Travis (Houge), Wayne (Taylor) and everyone behind me has given us the support to succeed,” Formal said. “I’ve been with this team a long time and never made a mistake, so they helped me through that hard moment. This car was so beautiful today and I’m so grateful to share this car with Hampus and win again in Super Trofeo.”
Hampus Ericsson (Pro, No. 1 Wayne Taylor Racing): “(Thursday) was my first ever pit stop too, as I was solo driving last year in Europe, but it went well. Danny made a great start saving the tires so I could just do whatever I wanted, basically. Sebring is such a challenge! It’s like nothing else compared to Europe, at least. And I love it. It has so much character, it’s so rough, and you really have to have a lot of confidence to think about what you’re doing out there. I enjoy it so much. I think it's my best birthday (Friday Round 2 was his birthday) ever. It’s my first week and everyone just welcomed me in with warmth. We achieved the maximum with winning both races from pole positions and setting the fastest laps. I think we executed the whole week perfectly.”
Brendon Leitch (ProAm, No. 69 Wayne Taylor Racing):: “Tony (Anthony McIntosh) had had a good qualifying (Thursday) morning and put us in in a nice position to start, so I was able to push it in the beginning there and before everyone else spun and we undercut them later. So today, Tony did the hard work.”
Darius Trinka (ProAm, No. 33 Rearden Racing): “I was really close to (Anthony McIntosh) and he just ended up losing the car, the second part of the Bishop's Corner (Turn 14). I didn't have to avoid him or do anything. It’s unfortunately for them, and I feel really bad because I think that would have created a great, great battle for the end of the race.”
Glenn McGee (Am, No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing): “Graham put it on pole his first race, he had a great start, ran with our sister car with Tony McIntosh, and they just kind of ran up the field and took control and didn't have any mistakes and gave me a great car to bring it home.”
Graham Doyle (Am, No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing): “Glenn did an awesome job for us at the start and I just hopped in and raced from there. To start the season this way is total polar opposite to last year. I started last year here with a DNF, and now this year starts with a pole and two wins.”
Nick Groat (LB Cup, No. 57 One Motorsports): “This was probably the most important race for me personally this season, because this was my first race ever in Super Trofeo last time, and it was really, really, really rough. I don't think there's a chance really of being on the podium without testing to be honest, like you have to. The competition is so much, so you have to put in the work.”
