Batmobile Racing Stay Unbeaten at Fuji as Rain Fails to Halt Their Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia Charge

The PRO category entered the weekend with several contenders showing pace in qualifying. Van der Drift and Kingsford secured overall pole in Q1 for VSR, while Tregurtha and Cecotto qualified second overall and second in class. The Batmobile Racing pairing responded in Q2, taking overall pole and establishing themselves as the benchmark heading into the races. Zhicong Li and Titus Sherlock remained firmly in contention, qualifying inside the top two in class across both sessions.

When the rain arrived for Saturday's Race 1, Tregurtha and Cecotto proved untouchable. The pair converted pole into a dominant lights-to-flag victory, finishing more than thirty-six seconds clear of Li and Sherlock after 24 laps. Sceats and Wisniewski completed the PRO podium despite carrying a five-second post-race penalty.

Sunday's Race 2 followed a similar pattern. Once again, Batmobile Racing controlled proceedings from the front, securing a second overall victory of the weekend. Li and Sherlock repeated their runner-up finish, while Sceats and Wisniewski secured another third-place result to complete an unchanged PRO podium across both races.

The PRO-AM category delivered a more varied storyline. Van der Drift and Kingsford arrived as the fastest crew in dry qualifying but were unable to translate that pace into class victories once conditions deteriorated. Race 1 saw them finish second in class despite claiming second overall, while Batmobile Racing's Mu'azzam and Prabakaran secured another podium finish. Yugo Tanabe and Couto, making their first appearance on the PRO-AM entry list at Fuji, completed the class top three.

Race 2 produced another shuffle in the category. Tanabe and Couto improved to second in class, while Mu'azzam and Prabakaran finished third after starting from PRO-AM pole position in Q2. The changing conditions ensured the category remained one of the most competitive battles throughout the weekend.

In the AM class, the story belonged entirely to Suttiluck Buncharoen. After securing class pole in both qualifying sessions, he converted both opportunities into victories. Race 1 and Race 2 followed nearly identical patterns, with Yoon Jeon and Umar Abdullah finishing second in class on both occasions and Bertram Lau collecting a pair of third-place finishes. Buncharoen's clean sweep further strengthened his championship position.

The Lamborghini Cup category featured one of the weekend's key incidents before racing even began. Gerald Goh and Terence Tse were disqualified from Q2 after recording no valid laps, despite having qualified second in class during Q1. The setback did little to disrupt their race pace, however, as they recovered to finish second in class in both races.

At the front of the category, Weeraborwornpong remained flawless. After taking class pole in both qualifying sessions, he secured victory in Race 1 and repeated the achievement in Race 2. Steven Chian completed the podium in both races, ensuring stability in the class despite the changing weather.

Round 3 ultimately reinforced the established hierarchy across the championship. Batmobile Racing extended its dominance in PRO, Buncharoen remained the benchmark in AM, and Weeraborwornpong continued to control the Lamborghini Cup. Fuji's rain may have reshuffled battles deeper in the field, but it did little to slow the leading contenders as the championship moves on to Round 4.
