Fuji– The 2025 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia season continues June 27-29, at Japan’s Fuji International Speedway, where the quest for the PRO, PRO-AM, AM, Lamborghini Cup and Team titles resumes among the competitive international field.
Heading into the season’s half way point, 16 teams and 43 drivers will take to the 4.563km, 17-turn Japanese track located in the foothills of the mighty Mount Fuji for round three of Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia.
Leading the way in the PRO class with three wins under their belts thus far are SJM Theodore Racing young guns Charles Leong of Macau and Irish team mate Alex Denning. Leong, contesting his second season with the series having finished runner-up in 2024, and Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia newcomer Denning, have a 15-point advantage at the top of the class leaderboard after four races in the DW Evans GT-run entry.
Second in the standings is Singaporean Ethan Brown. The Leipert Motorsport youngster opened his season with a pole position and runner-up finish in Sydney alongside Swede Hampus Eriksson. In Shanghai, he and Jacob Riegel proved a winning combination, the pair taking their first victory together from pole. In Japan, 21-year-old Finn Nikolas Pirttilahti, 2024 PRO-AM runner-up alongside Thomas Yu Lee, returns to the series alongside Brown.
BC Racing PRO duo Gavin Huang and Jonathan Cecotto lie third heading to Japan after three double-digit points-scoring races and a pole position in Shanghai. Five points behind them are series newcomer Nazim Azman of Malaysia and Frenchman Emilien Carde, who is contesting his second season with DW Evans GT. China’s Peter Li Zhicong teamed up with Korea’s Lee Jungwoo for the first time in Shanghai, taking two podium finishes together to stay very much in title contention. They reunite in Japan in the Lamborghini Bundang by Racegraph PRO entry.
Absolute Racing enters Vicenzo Ricci, racing under a Philippines licence, alongside fellow series newcomer Du Tianhao.
An eventful Shanghai round brought mixed fortunes amongst the PRO-AM ranks. LK Motorsport by Climax Racing’s Chinese duo Liu Kaishun and Cao Qikuan continue to top the class leaderboard, and have extended their advantage over SQDA-GRIT Motorsport challengers Brian Lee Changwoo and Liang Jiatong to 14 points. For round three, reigning AM champion Lee is joined by Japanese F4 and Super Taikyu driver Kohei Tokumasu.
The title campaign of Liu and Cao’s team mates Lu Zhiwei and Ling Kang saw a setback in Shanghai with a DNF in race one, but the pair quickly bounced back and on to the podium in the final encounter of the weekend to retain third in the PRO-AM standings. Conversely, a superb second-place class finish in race one for Arrow’s Racing’s Dr. Ma Chi Min and Malaysian former FIA World Endurance Championship ace Weiron Tan was followed by retirement from race two, but the pair nevertheless climbed to fourth on the leaderboard. On equal points are BC Racing’s Johnson Huang and young son Brian, the father-and-son combination getting their racing debut together off to a strong start.
In Shanghai, Z.Speed’s Chen Chunhua and Ho-Pin Tung endured an unlucky race one when damage incurred during an incident prematurely halted their weekend. In Japan, Chen is joined by 28-year-old German and ADAC GT Masters regular Tim Zimmerman, who makes his Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia debut.
Another combination to make their series debut in Japan are one-make racing stalwart Yao Liangbo and accomplished GT campaigner and fellow Chinese driver Zhang Yaqi, who lineup at Climax Racing.
