Trying out the Super Trofeo Lamborghini race series for one race at Laguna Sept 24 weekend.

They have a televised cool series in IMSA.

Hoping to race the Huracan at 24 hrs of Daytona @ Jan

How fantastic! Do you know which car you will drive so we can hopefully watch you win? Best of luck!

Thanks, it's a Wayne Taylor Racing car but there are several so I'll post a pic when they tell me

William, I have just returned from flagging a weekend of Pirelli World Challenge races at CoTA, and I would have to offer this as my opinion of the Hurrican: "Buy a Porsche Cup car!!!"

I think there are a few guys in the Blancpain GT series who would disagree. The Huracan has won 3 out of the 9 races.

Thanks, everybody

Just renting for now to try it out

The Porsche GT3RS is awesome but haven't found one to rent pls

smellya

Have fun at laguna. One of the few things I miss in ca

I would look over on rennlist forum and see if any of the teams there do a rental. Or maybe while your at Laguna, take the couple hour drive up to Petaluma and talk to the guys at TRG or go to Sears Point and talk to Flying Lizard or try Kelly-Moss Motorsports out of Wisconsin, they have a arrive and drive program.

Moto One

Check with Flying Lizard at Sonoma. I think they have one.

Based on the entry list, it looks like you'll be in the #11 in the Am category. That's the only Prestige entry without a driver (currently listed as "TBD").

The Huracan Super Trofeo is an awesome car to drive. You're going to have a blast! It's just so damn fast and can put down lap times similar to the IMSA GTD (GT3) class.

Supposedly, Lamborghini is coming out with a Super Trofeo Plus for next year. I'm guessing the Plus will be for the Pro/Pro-Am guys and the Ams and LB Cups will continue with the current Super Trofeo.

Is this Huracan the same as the GTD car they race at Daytona 24?

Just want to get some seat time before Daytona.

Vettdetta

No, the Huracan Super Trofeo is different than the Huracan GT3 which races in GTD.

The Huracan ST has more power but less aero versus the GT3 version. Also, I believe the tires are more narrow on the ST compared to the GT3.

If you go to the Lamborghini Squadra Corse website, they give stats and dimensions on both variants.

They made some nice software updates to the 2017s. The LEDs on the dash will now flash white when the ABS is activated. Blue is when the TC kicks in. This is on the ST, not sure about the GT3.

You got it right, I'm in 11. Only one on my team driving car solo. Having fun, dropped 20+ Sec since Th. Trying to drop 4 more today

It makes good power & brakes are good but it's tail happy and way too much distance lock to lock in steering

The fast left hand sweeper after the corkscrew is challenging

Just curious, do you take turn 1 at full speed and how fast are you going? That's got to be a bit of a pucker moment.

Vettdetta

Yeah, I suspect that's partly strategy, especially in the Pro class where they race for overall honors. The solo drivers have a 3 second longer mandatory pit stop window than the driver pairings. Of course it may also have to do with drivers sharing the cost of racing the car too

I agree about the lock to lock requiring high rotation of the steering. Hairpin type turns definitely require crossing the arms, so I'm imagine you're having to do that for turn 2. Are you having to cross arms for the corkscrew and the final turn as well?

The car is also sensitive to bumps. The car feels quite stiff, especially from a dampening stand point. Bumps in the track or hitting pronounced curbs wrong can really move the car around and make the rear end go all cattywompus if you're not careful. Being smooth and patient is key.

Good luck tomorrow and Sunday!

sounds like fun. What are your lap times?
