Super Trofeo Esports - The Gateway to Professional Racing
The fifth season of the Super Trofeo Esports kicks off today, 22nd April. Featuring the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 and thrilling new tracks racing on Assetto Corsa Competizione, developed by Kunos Simulazioni, the season promises excitement and intense competition. This championship extends across three continents, where elite competitors engage in fierce battles in a hybrid format of on-site and online races.
EU region drivers will embark on a four-round online series, beginning with a hot stint competition that leads into standalone racing qualifications. Similarly, competitors in the NALA and APAC regions will proceed through a hot stint qualification to a Regional Final, showcasing the top 24 drivers. The most skilled will advance to the on-site finals at Jerez de la Frontera on site during the Lamborghini World Finals where the best driver will not only have the opportunity to compete on simulators equipped with MOZA Racing peripherals in order to join the Lamborghini Esports Team and participate in the Young Driver Program for the 2025 Season, but they will also live a true Lamborghini racing experience within the paddock.
