Absolute Racing has announced its participation in the 2023 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia, the prestigious one-make racing series organized by Italian luxury sports car manufacturer Automobili Lamborghini in the region.
Southeast Asia powerhouse Absolute Racing, which has competed in various Volkswagen Group motorsport series such as the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, Audi R8 LMS Cup, or the Formula Masters China, is set to take on the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia with a fleet of specially designed Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 racecars.
The 2023 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia season comprises six rounds held at some of the most iconic circuits in Asia, and each weekend consists of two 50-minute races. The series is known for its high-speed racing, close competition, and iconic racing venues, and it is widely considered to be one of the premier racing series in Asia. It is open to drivers from all over the world, but the majority of competitors are from the Asia-Pacific region.

The 2023 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia season promises to be one of the most exciting and competitive in the series' history, and the addition of Absolute Racing only adds to the excitement.
