Lamborghini World Finals 2025 – Misano World Circuit: Wayne Taylor Racing’s Danny Formal and Hampus Ericsson secure the Pro crown

Race 1 – Pro/Pro-Am

After leading the morning qualifying, the #101 Wayne Taylor Racing Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo of Danny Formal and Hampus Ericsson started from pole position and controlled the early stages at Misano World Circuit. Formal held off Will Bamber before handing over to Ericsson for the final stint, but a late-race clash with Adam Putera in the #6 VSR Huracán cost the duo victory, leaving them sixth at the flag. The win ultimately went to Nico De la Torre and Will Bamber in the #129 car, following a five-second penalty for Putera and Paul Levet.

In Pro-Am, the #12 Art-Line Huracán of Egor Orudzhev and Shota Abkhazava claimed victory after the stewards reversed an earlier time penalty, narrowly beating Chris van der Drift and Todd Kingsford in the #6 VSR entry, with Stéphan Guerin and Georgi Dimitrov (CMR) taking third.

Race 2 – Pro/Pro-Am

Starting ninth overall, Hampus Ericsson kept the #101 Wayne Taylor Racing Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo clear of trouble in a chaotic opening phase that saw the #36 Oregon Team Huracán of Enzo Geraci and Josef Knopp eliminated at turn one. After the pit window opened, Danny Formal took over and carved through the field, overtaking Giacomo Pedrini (Target Racing) and Gavin Huang (BC Racing) before passing Andrzej Lewandowski (ASR) to take the overall win and secure the Pro World Finals title. Benedetto Strignano (Rexal Villorba Corse) finished second, with Colin Queen (Ansa Motorsports) third.

In Pro-Am, Frederik Schandorff and Lewandowski led early in the ASR Huracán, with Lewandowski maintaining the class lead after the stops. Despite finishing second in class, Egor Orudzhev and Shota Abkhazava in the #12 Art-Line Huracán did enough to seal the Pro-Am World Finals championship, ahead of Schandorff–Lewandowski and Van der Drift–Kingsford, who tied for second in the standings.

Race 1 – Am/Lamborghini Cup

At the start of the Am and Lamborghini Cup races, Pietro Perolini in the #61 Oregon Team Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo took the lead immediately after pole-sitter Stéphane Tribaudini (#66 VSR Huracán) was forced out with a mechanical issue. Perolini’s teammate Massimo Ciglia extended their advantage after the pit window, crossing the line comfortably ahead of Paolo Biglieri (#32 ASR Huracán) and Dean Neuls (TR3 Racing Huracán) for the team’s first World Finals race win.

In Lamborghini Cup, Karim Ojjeh in the #7 Rexal Villorba Corse Huracán swept past Luciano Privitelio for the lead after the driver change and went on to take victory ahead of the Privitelio pairing (#77 Rexal Villorba Corse) and Holger Harmsen (GT3 Poland) in third.

Race 2 – Am/Lamborghini Cup

Stéphane Lemeret led the early stages in the #27 CMR Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo before handing over to Rodrigue Gillion, who maintained the advantage until Pietro Perolini, taking over from Massimo Ciglia in the #61 Oregon Team Huracán, charged to the front. Despite a late safety car and minor contact, Perolini and Ciglia secured their second victory of the weekend and clinched the Am World Finals title. Tribaudini and Randazzo recovered from their earlier misfortune to finish second, while Biglieri was promoted to third after Antoine Comeau received a track limits penalty.

In the Lamborghini Cup, Karim Ojjeh once again dominated in the #7 Rexal Villorba Corse Huracán, starting fifth overall and leading from lights to flag. The Swiss driver took his second consecutive win at Misano to claim the Lamborghini Cup World Finals title, finishing ahead of Holger Harmsen (GT3 Poland) and Rocky T Bolduc (RAFA Racing Team).
