OREGON TEAM HEADS TO HOCKENHEIM FOR GT OPEN WEEKEND AIMING TO STEP UP

OREGON TEAM HEADS TO HOCKENHEIM FOR GT OPEN WEEKEND AIMING TO STEP UP

After a positive weekend at Monza in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe, Oregon Team is back on track this weekend (June 7–8) for the third of eight rounds in the International GT Open, taking place at Germany’s Hockenheim circuit. 

The team led by Jerry Canevisio and Giorgio Testa will once again field two Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 cars. One of them will be driven by Antoine Doquin and Artem Petrov, who recently secured a best finish of ninth overall and eighth in the Pro class during the Spa round.

Sharing the other car from the Sant’Agata Bolognese manufacturer will be Robin Rogalski and Filip Ugran, both making their debut season in the continental series with Oregon Team, also competing in the Pro class.

Following a challenging start to the season, the target at Hockenheim is clearly to return to the fight at the front.

In 2024, the German track hosted a standout weekend for Oregon Team, highlighted by a race one victory claimed by the Alessio Deledda and Jordan Pepper duo, delivering the team’s first of three wins that season.

The Hockenheim weekend will kick off on Friday with two free practice sessions, each lasting one hour. On Saturday morning, qualifying session one begins at 10:25 am, followed by race one at 2:25 pm, which will run for 70 minutes. The second qualifying session takes place on Sunday at 9:10 am, with race two (60 minutes) scheduled to start at 1:10 pm.

Both races will be streamed live on the International GT Open YouTube channel, @GTOPENseries.

OREGON TEAM CONFIRMS GERACI-KNOPP PRO CLASS SUPREMACY IN THE LAMBORGHINI SUPER TROFEO EUROPE ROUND 2 AT MONZA

Enzo Geraci and Josef Knopp have done it again. After claiming victory at Paul Ricard last April, the young Oregon Team duo found success in the first of two races at Monza, which hosted the second round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe.

A class win and second place overall for them, after climbing four positions, followed by another podium finish in race two with a third-place result. These strong performances earned them more valuable points and allowed them to further extend their lead in the Pro class, increasing their advantage by another 14 points over the pairing of Patrik Fraboni and Giacomo Pedrini, now trailing by 17.

Still under the Oregon Team banner, the duo of Rosario Messina and Gustaw Wisniewski – both in their debut season in the series reserved for cars from the Sant’Agata Bolognese manufacturer – continued the positive momentum they started in France, finishing seventh and then fifth in the same class.

A nearly perfect weekend at their home track for Massimo Ciglia and Pietro Perolini. After securing a best result of fifth place at Paul Ricard, they finished second twice in the Am class at Monza, proving they have the pace to aim for victory and making a solid leap forward in the standings. They are now third, just 11 points behind the leading duo of Piergiacomo Randazzo and Stéphane Tribaudini.

It was a mixed weekend for Adalberto Baptista in the Lamborghini Cup. After a winning debut at Paul Ricard in the opening race, the Brazilian arrived at Monza with the third-fastest time in class in the first qualifying session. However, in race one, Baptista was involved in an early incident and had to retire after only three laps. In Sunday’s race, he started from sixth, climbed through the field, and secured an impressive second-place finish.

The next round of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe will take place at Spa-Francorchamps, during the same weekend as the 24 Hours (June 26–28). Meanwhile, the Oregon Team heads to Germany, where the Hockenheim circuit will host the third round of the International GT Open this weekend (June 7–8).

OREGON TEAM SET FOR HOME RACE AS THE LAMBORGHINI SUPER TROFEO EUROPE ROUND TWO GETS UNDERWAY AT MONZA

More than a month after the season opener, the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe returns to action this weekend for its second round, taking place at Monza.

On their home track, Oregon Team arrives leading the Pro class standings, with Frenchman Enzo Geraci and young Czech driver Josef Knopp leading the standings, following a victory and a fourth-place finish at the opening round at Paul Ricard.

It’s been an extremely positive start to the season for this brand-new pairing in the Italian team, who scored points in both races in France and are now aiming to perform strongly once again.

Also in the Pro class, the team led by Jerry Canevisio and Giorgio Testa fields a second car for Rosario Messina and Gustaw Wisniewski. Both drivers are making their debut this year in the one-make series reserved for to the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 and finished eighth in class twice at Le Castellet.

After securing a best result of fifth in the Am category at Paul Ricard, Massimo Ciglia and Pietro Perolini are ready to try again on what is also their home track.

Completing the four-car lineup is Brazilian driver Adalberto Baptista, who made an impressive debut in the continental championship with a victory in the Lamborghini Cup. He currently sits just four points behind the class leader.

The weekend kicks off on Friday with two one-hour free practice sessions. Saturday will begin at 9 a.m. with two 20-minute qualifying sessions, followed by the first of two 50-minute races starting at 2:25 p.m. Race 2 is scheduled for Sunday at 11:20 a.m.

Both races will be broadcast live on the Lamborghini Squadra Corse YouTube channel.

OREGON TEAM HEADING TO SPA FOR THE SECOND ROUND OF THE INTERNATIONAL GT OPEN

Oregon Team is set to tackle the second of the eight rounds on the International GT Open calendar, scheduled for this weekend on the over seven-kilometer-long Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

After a challenging trip to Portimão, where the two Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 cars from the Cremosano-based team were penalized by an unfavorable BoP, the goal in Belgium is to aim high in the single 500 km race set to take place on Sunday. This format is therefore unusual compared to the other weekends of the series, which instead feature a double-race layout.

With a field of 31 entries, Artem Petrov and Antoine Doquin will once again take turns behind the wheel of one of the cars from the Sant’Agata Bolognese manufacturer, just as they did in the previous Algarve round, where they finished outside the overall top 10, with a best result of twelfth place at the end of Saturday’s Race 1.

The other Pro pairing will consist of Robin Rogalski and Filip Ugran, who also finished both races in Portimão, though further down the order.

Last year at Spa, Oregon Team celebrated an excellent second place achieved by the duo of Alessio Deledda and Jordan Pepper, who had already secured a win at the previous round held at the German Hockenheim circuit.

The Belgian weekend will kick off on Friday, May 16, with the usual free practice sessions. On Saturday, Qualifying 1 is scheduled from 11:05 to 11:30 a.m., while the second qualifying session will begin in the afternoon at 3:10 p.m.

The race, with a rolling start, will get underway on Sunday at 11:25 a.m. and will last for a maximum of two hours and 55 minutes, plus one additional lap.

Qualifying and the race will be streamed live on the championship’s official YouTube channel @GTOPENseries.

OREGON TEAM FIELDS TWO CARS FOR THE GT OPEN SEASON OPENER

Following a winning start to the season at Paul Ricard in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe, Oregon Team is back on track this weekend for the opening round of the International GT Open at the Algarve circuit. The team led by Jerry Canevisio and Giorgio Testa will be entering two Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2s for full-time program.

Now in its fourth season in the continental series, the Italian squad aims to uphold its reputation after claiming the Team title last year, repeating the success it first achieved in 2022, its debut season in the championship, when it also dominated the Drivers’ standings.

Sharing one of the cars from the Sant’Agata Bolognese manufacturer will be newcomer Antoine Doquin and Artem Petrov. The latter returns for his second year in the GT Open, again with Oregon Team, while Doquin (a French driver born in 2004) brings a solid background from the GT World Challenge Europe and an LMP3 title in the Asian Le Mans Series.

In the team’s other Lamborghini, a brand-new pairing will make its debut: 24-year-old Polish driver Robin Rogalski will share driving duties with 22-year-old Romanian Filip Ugran, who arrives from single-seaters and has recent experience in prototypes.

Both lineups will compete in the Pro class, aiming to make a strong impression right from the start on the 4.684 km Portimão circuit, a particularly demanding and undulating track that will host the opening round of the 20th edition of the series, which was launched in 2006 by GT Sport.

The Portuguese weekend officially kicks off tomorrow, Friday, April 25, with two free practice sessions. The first 25-minute qualifying session will get underway on Saturday at 10:10 am, followed by Race 1 (70 minutes) at 2:45 pm local time. The second qualifying session is scheduled for Sunday starting at 9:00 am, with Race 2 (60 minutes) at 1:15 pm, again local time.

Both races will be streamed live on the championship’s official YouTube channel: @GTOPENseries.

Oregon Team hits the target in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe opener

First take of the season and a double success at Paul Ricard for Oregon Team, which kicked off the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe campaign in perfect style. A commanding overall victory came from the Pro pairing of Frenchman Enzo Geraci and young Czech driver Josef Knopp, who was making his debut in the one-make continental series reserved for cars from the Sant’Agata Bolognese manufacturer. Brazilian driver Adalberto Baptista also claimed victory in the Lamborghini Cup, where he too was making his very first appearance.

The Le Castellet weekend began with Saturday’s two qualifying sessions. In the first, Geraci posted the second-fastest time – just one thousandth of a second off pole – while Knopp secured fifth in the second session. Another Oregon Team rookie, Rosario Messina, set the tenth-fastest time in the same class, with his teammate Gustaw Wisniewski placing ninth. In the Am class, Pietro Perolini secured the fourth-fastest time, with teammate Massimo Ciglia in fifth. Baptista recorded the fifth-best time in both Lamborghini Cup sessions.

In Saturday’s Race 1, a penalty of five seconds due to a safety car infringement pushed Geraci and Knopp out of the overall top ten, though they still managed to finish fourth in class and scored points. Less luck for Messina-Wisniewski, who were forced to retire five laps from the end. Perolini and Ciglia secured a fifth place in the Am class, while Baptista went off track and was forced to retire.

Race 2 on Sunday told a different story. In wet conditions, Knopp quickly moved up to third place at the start. After the pit stops, Geraci rejoined in second and launched a decisive attack on the final lap, overtaking the leading car of Guido Luchetti to clinch his first win of 2025.

Wisniewski and Messina finished eighth in class, continuing to build experience. Perolini and Ciglia claimed sixth in the Am category, maintaining consistent performance. The final surprise came from the Lamborghini Cup, where Baptista starred in the second half of the race and crossed the finish line in first place.

Next up for the Oregon Team is the GT Open round at Portimão on April 26-27, while the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe will return to action at the end of May for Round 2 in Monza.

Oregon Team is fielding a four-car entry in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe, which gets underway this weekend at the French circuit of Paul Ricard. It’s a strong line-up for team led by Jerry Canevisio and Giorgio Testa, who are entering one more car than they did last year in the one-make series reserved for the Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2s.

Oregon Team completed a very fruitful weekend at the Red Bull Ring. At the 4.3km Austrian track, the Italian squad secured their third win of the GT Open season as Alessio Deledda and race one polsitter Jordan Pepper claimed their second victory.

Oregon Team pair scored important points by delivering a lights-to-flag race one win in the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2, and made a great recovery in race two allowing them to break into the top-10 overall and claim the ninth position.

As a result, Deledda now sits second in the drivers’ stadings three points behid the Audi duo of Christopher Haase/Simon Reicher, while Pepper is third, having missed the Hungaroring round due to a clash.

In race two the duo secured the fourth position. Pulcini started sixth and, after the pit-stop, Ineichen rejoined the field in fourth position but dropped fourth al the last lap.

Artem Petrov and Marzio Moretti, sharing a third Oregon Team’s Lamborghini, achieved their best result of the season claiming the sixt position in race two after finishing eight in the Saturday’s race one.
