Matias Salonen and Henri Tuomaala took the victory in the second race of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe, held at the Monza circuit. This competition was marked by rainy weather and an incident that left Patrik Fraboni out of the title fight.
The race started with the Safety Car, which intervened several times due to various incidents on the track and the intermittent rain that complicated the situation. At one point, Fraboni, from the Oregon Team, hit the wall at the escape road of the ‘Ascari’ chicane, sealing the title hopes of other drivers.
Initially, Marzio Moretti dominated the race, but during the pit stops, the Salonen and Tuomaala team executed a change that allowed them to move into first place. The maneuver proved strategic, as they managed to overtake all their rivals after starting from sixth position.
Leipert Motorsport consequently achieved a spectacular 1-2, with Nicolas Stati and Lewis Leitch finishing in second place. Crossing the line in third were drivers Berreby and Giraud with their Huracán. Additionally, the Moretti and Biglieri team secured victory in the PRO/AM category.
In the AM category, Andrzej Lewandowski focused on defending his victory with his Huracán, while in the Lamborghini Cup, Claude-Yves Gosselin won ahead of Ostergaard and Moller Demant, who were crowned champions of their category.
Drivers Kevin Gilardoni and Simone Iaquinta, starting from the back of the grid, fought their way up to fourteenth place, but a ten-second penalty for a pit infraction complicated their chances of scoring points.
With these results, the Monza race was particularly thrilling and marked a new chapter in the competition for the Lamborghini brand, with a race format that continues to demonstrate its appeal to fans and drivers alike.
