The third round of the 2024 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe season will be held as a support event to the 92nd 24 Hours of Le Mans. At La Sarthe the field of Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2s will compete in a double header. Since the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based manufacturer announced that it will enter two hypercars in the French endurance classic in 2024, it’s no surprise that the series is slated for a Le Mans card.
A tough design
The Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 is powered by a 5.2 liter naturally aspirated V10 engine. Up to 620 horsepower. A carbon intake pipe and racing exhaust system guarantee a thunderous roar. With its radical aero improvements and uncompromising Lamborghini Centro style design, the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 delivers the best performance a car has ever achieved in the One-Make Championship. The Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 pushes the aesthetic boundaries of previous generations to the extreme, providing insight into the styling elements that will be introduced to road cars in the coming years.
More than 50 entries are expected to the Le Mans circuit. They will be divided into four classes: Pro, Pro-Am, Am and LC. After winning two races at Spa-Francorchamps, Amaury Bonduel (BDR Competition of Grupo Prom) leads the Pro class of Ali/Söderström (Target Racing) and Caglioni/Geraci (Oregon Team).
The pro-am entry list is smaller than previous years, but the lack of numbers makes up for the excitement. Formánek/Rosina (driven by Micanek Motorsport Buggyra) lead Kuppens/Meyuhas (Boutsen VDS) by just 6.5 points.
Class A has been one of the most evenly matched categories in the 2023 Super Trofeo Europe campaign and this season looks set to go the same way. Just ten points separate the top five. Berolini/Rhoda lead the way for Oregon, but the Le Mans doubleheader could shake up the standings.
Drivers will take to the track on Wednesday 12 June for free practice at 10:30 and qualifying at 17:30. Race 1 is scheduled for Thursday 13 June from 13:15 to 14:00, and Race 2 will take place two days later from 09:15 to 10:00.
