Lamborghini Super Trofeo Middle East: two races after

The first race which took place at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi and officially inaugurated the new Lamborghini Super Trofeo Middle East was thrilling. Finally the victory went to the all-Italian duo formed by Davide Roda and Marco Antonelli, who finished first overall and ranked first in the AM class as well. Right ahead of the Huracan #5 of FFF Racing Team, driven by Bartholomew-Ghorpade and the car #15, belonging to the same team, with Schreiner-Goddard behind the wheel and authors of the fastest lap of the race.

One of the most ambitious crews of the championship went out of the race at the first corner, after starting from the pole position: the Huracan Super Trofeo #7 of GDL Racing, driven by the 18-year-old Lamborghini Young Driver Rik Breukers and Axcil Jefferies (coming from the GP2 series), was the victim of a contact with the car # 55 of the team GT3 Poland, driven by Myszkowski-Lewandowski, which put an end to the winning ambitions of the fast young drivers.

But in spite of tight and heavy battle the duo of GDL Racing Breukers-Jefferies found the strength to won the second race and did it brilliantly! Behind them, in the second and third position (5th and 7th overall), the two crews of the FFF Racing Team: the first formed by the American Richard Goddard and the nineteen year old German female driver Carrie Schreiner; the second crew with the English Jack Bartholomew and the Indian Parth Ghorpade, all at their first experience in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo.

In PRO-AM class, Costantino Bertuzzi and Nigel Farmer won again after Race 1 on Friday, thanks to a fast and consistent pace over the whole weekend. AM class was again a success for Antonelli and Roda, constantly on the podium, while in second position there are Andrew Haryanto (GDL Racing) and Lewandowski-Myszkowski (GT3 Poland).
