The fourth round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America arrives at Road America for two thrilling races this weekend. The traditional Wisconsin circuit once again hosts the category's drivers, promising fierce battles on one of the most challenging tracks on the calendar.

Brazilian driver Kiko Porto (Toyota Gazoo Racing / Banco Daycoval / MC Games / Team: Rafa Racing Team) once again shares the #68 car from Rafa Racing Team with another national representative, Werner Neugebauer. The partnership between these two compatriots has proven consistent throughout the season, combining experience and determination on North American tracks.

After completing both free practice sessions on Friday, where he secured the third-fastest time in both activities behind the wheel of the Lamborghini, Kiko Porto prepared for the weekend's first qualifying session. The objective was to determine the starting grid for the round's opening race.

With a time of 2:06.927, the driver from Pernambuco secured an excellent position on the second row of the grid, starting fourth in Race 1. The result demonstrates the Brazilian driver's constant evolution in the category, maintaining his position among the top competitors in the Pro Class.

Werner Neugebauer took responsibility for the second qualifying session, aiming to set the grid for Sunday's race. The experienced driver posted a time of 2:08.637, a result that positions the Brazilian duo at the front of the fifth row for the weekend's second race.

"Now we have two difficult races ahead. I'll start first in Race 1, managed to secure a spot on the second row of the Pro category and hand the car over to Werner afterward. He starts Race 2 on Sunday and passes the car to me. This driver change happens around the midpoint of the races. We'll have to be very careful with tire management, but we're going for it," declared Kiko Porto after qualifying.

The first race of the Road America round is scheduled for this Saturday (2nd) at 1:55 PM (Brasília time). The 4.0-mile track and its 14 turns promise to test the drivers' skills and the performance of the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 to the maximum.

On Sunday (3rd), it will be time for the weekend's second race, with the start scheduled for 11:25 AM (Brasília time). Both races featuring the duo of Kiko Porto and Werner Neugebauer can be followed live through the official Lamborghini Super Trofeo YouTube channel, offering Brazilian fans the opportunity to cheer for their national representatives.

The 2025 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season continues to provide great excitement, and the Brazilian drivers keep fighting for prominent positions in one of North America's premier one-make racing series.
