Pernambuco’s own Kiko Porto (Banco Daycoval / MC Games / Team: Ansa Motorsports) shone brightly at the 2024 season finale of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, consistently performing during the World Finals held at Circuito de Jerez de la Frontera in Spain. Partnering with French driver Nico Jamin, Kiko achieved two remarkable results in the highly competitive PRO category, featuring a grid of 40 cars.
Driving the #104 car for ANSA Motorsport, Kiko Porto displayed solid form from the start of qualifying sessions on Saturday (16). The duo secured ninth place on the grid for the first race and started from the eighth row for the second race. Despite the inherent challenges of a global event, Kiko and Jamin showcased consistency and teamwork throughout the competition.
In the first race on Saturday, the pair maintained their starting position to finish ninth. During Sunday’s race (17), they delivered a spectacular performance of skill and strategy, climbing nine positions over 50 minutes of intense competition to finish in seventh place. Precise overtakes and steady pace underscored the Brazilian driver’s potential in his Lamborghini World Finals debut.
"Ending my first season in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo with a World Finals participation and achieving a Top 10 is very special. These races demanded a lot from us, but we delivered everything we could now. It was an experience I’ll carry with me forever", Kiko Porto reflected.
The week before, during the final round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America, Kiko and Nico secured third place in the overall PRO category standings. "Reaching the season podium in my debut year was a personal milestone. Now, it’s time to start planning for 2025. I want to keep moving forward, developing myself, and achieving even more", highlighted the driver, who is already looking ahead to new challenges next year.
With solid results and valuable experience gained in 2024, Kiko Porto enters the offseason full of anticipation. In the coming weeks, updates on his 2025 season plans are expected, promising even more excitement and challenges for the Brazilian driver on the international motorsport stage.
