The second race of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia highlighted the intensity of the competition with the victory of Zhicong Li and Titus Sherlock from the Racegraph team. Despite starting the race in sixth position, they managed to climb to first place, overcoming a five-second penalty for a dangerous re-entry onto the track.
British driver William Tregurtha, who competed with Jonathan Cecotto for Batmobile Racing, finished in second position, allowing him to secure the PRO category championship title, thanks to an exciting battle with his VSR rivals, Sceats and Wisniewski.
Challenging race in the rain
The race started under the safety car due to heavy rain that fell on the Italian circuit. After four laps, the competition resumed with Van der Drift leading thanks to his pole position. However, it was Cecotto who pushed hard until he finally handed over to Tregurtha.
With a well-executed strategy, Tregurtha faced relentless pressure from Sceats and Wisniewski, who worked to close the gap. Meanwhile, Sherlock made his entrance and began to advance until he led the race after an intense duel against Tregurtha and Andre Couto, who ended his competition in barriers at Lesmo 2.
Culminating moment and celebrations
The final laps were a real spectacle, with numerous errors from drivers due to the difficult track conditions. This opened the door to several attack attempts between Tregurtha and Wisniewski. Finally, Tregurtha crossed the finish line just after Sherlock, with a gap of only nine seconds between the two, which was reduced to four seconds due to Sherlock’s penalty.
In the other categories, Weeraborwornpong was the winner of the LC category, while Buncharoen was crowned champion in the AM category. In the PRO/AM category, Van der Drift and Kingsford secured the title, despite an underwhelming performance by Kingsford, who finished in sixth position.
With the exhilarating results of the race, the competition will continue tomorrow with the finals of the various participating categories.
