Launched in 2009, in Europe, as a means for the supercar and fine timepiece brands to get synonymous with motorsports, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo now celebrates six years of exciting racing, with three years in Asia and two in the United States. This year, Sepang has already played host to the season’s opener. The series will make its way to Indonesia, Japan, Korea and China before returning to Sepang for the World Final that will happen in November.

The Sepang International Circuit is considered to be one of the most challenge race tracks in the world. Its modern facilities also make it an ideal place to kick of the race series. After debuting in Korea last year, Super Trofeo has made its way to excite the fans in Indonesia. Held in Sentul International Circuit, the race track is simple, smooth and board with large runoff areas and a 900-metre main straight that allows speeds of up to 300kph. It provided a whole new racing experience.

Though Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo welcomes gentlemen drivers, there is no such thing as a ‘gentle’ track. All drivers will receive behind-the-desk and behind-the-wheel training from Lamborghini-certified experts in the piloting skills required to take maximum advantage the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo can offer. Since 2009, the Super Trofeo series has combined the primal thrill of Lamborghini motorsport with the redefined craftsmanship of Blancpain – the oldest watch brand in the world – to introduce a unique lifestyle dedicated to the amateur drivers of East Asia.

The precision manufacturing of Blancpain and Lamborghini may differ in scale and utility, but both brands contribute to the Super Trofeo lifestyle with a shared tradition of craftsmanship and innovation. Together, these two bespoke brands have created not just a world-renowned platform for Asia’s amateur racing enthusiasts, but also a lifestyle that attracts VIP guests from all over the world.
