VSR Opens Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia Season with Double Victory as Tregurtha's Debut Double Pole Headlines Sepang Opener

The 2026 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia season opened at Malaysia's Sepang International Circuit in emphatic fashion, with Vincenzo Sospiri Racing claiming the top step in both races across a sweltering, action-packed weekend. The results chart told only part of the story. The defining thread was the arrival of Batmobile Racing's William Tregurtha, a late call-up who proceeded to lock out both pole positions on debut and announce himself as an immediate title contender in the PRO class.

PRO

Tregurtha set the tone before a wheel had been turned in anger, topping both free practice sessions and claiming double pole positions on his Asian series debut. In Race 1, the 26-year-old Briton led from the front and held off early pressure from Climax Racing's Elias Seppänen before the Finn found a way through with forty minutes remaining. When the pit cycle played out, however, Tregurtha re-emerged ahead of Seppänen's team-mate Pan Deng, despite absorbing an additional three-second penalty applied to solo drivers, and looked set for a maiden victory before VSR's Chris van der Drift ran him down and swept through with fifteen minutes on the clock. Tregurtha settled for PRO class honours and second overall on debut, with VSR's Liam Sceats and Gustaw Wisniewski completing the PRO podium in third overall.

Race 2 belonged entirely to Sceats and Wisniewski. Starting third, Wisniewski kept the VSR squad in contention through the opening stint before handing to Sceats, who tracked down PRO-AM leader Todd Kingsford in the closing laps and made the decisive move on the final lap to win by less than half a second. Lamborghini Bundang by Racegraph's Titus Sherlock, who resisted relentless pressure from Tregurtha across the final stint, secured third in class. Sceats and Wisniewski head the PRO standings, level on points with Tregurtha.

PRO-AM

Van der Drift's race craft was the story of Race 1 in the PRO-AM class. The two-time champion, reunited with Bronze-ranked team-mate Kingsford, absorbed an early deficit after the pit cycle before tracking and dispatching Tregurtha with fifteen minutes remaining to take overall and class victory, the pair's chemistry clearly undimmed from their championship-winning campaigns together. Seppänen and Pan recovered from an unspecified mid-race issue to claim second in class, finishing eighth overall.

Race 2 saw Kingsford produce one of the weekend's standout individual stints, the Bronze-ranked driver matching PRO pace at the head of the field before Sceats reeled him in on the final lap. Van der Drift and Kingsford retain the PRO-AM class lead heading to Ningbo.

AM

TKJ Motorsport's Jonathan Xie and Sim Kwong Teck delivered a composed double class victory on their home circuit. Race 1 was not without drama as Xie spun during the opening stint before recovering to take the class win. Race 2 saw the pair receive a ten-second penalty for a start infringement, serving it in the pits before returning to clinch AM honours for the second time in as many races. Kam Lung Racing's Bertram Lau leads the AM standings after collecting consistent results across both races.

Lamborghini Cup

Reigning four-time champion Supachai Weeraborwornpong emphatically opened his title defence, claiming double class victories while also finishing fourth overall in Race 1, a result that underlined both the pace and the competition level within the Lamborghini Cup field. Thailand's Weeraborwornpong carries a ten-point advantage over Lamborghini Busan by Racegraph's Steven Chian and Kim Sangho into Round 2.

The Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia series heads to China for Round 2 at Ningbo International Speedway for the circuit’s series debut, where the tightly contested PRO class and Weeraborwornpong's title defence will again headline the action.
