GMG, Forgiato Wheels Take Third Victory in Lamborghini Trofeo Series

Running only the fifth race in the history of the the all-new Lamborghini Trofeo Series, Global Motorsports Group (GMG) took an impressive third victory during Saturday’s first round in the double-header event.“What a great victory for us today,” stated driver and team owner James Sofronas. “This is a complete testament to what all of our guys have done to get this program prepared, and our development work is really paying off. We can’t celebrate too much as we still have another race to go, but we’ll definitely enjoy this one.”Driving the No. 33 Forgiato Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo, Sofronas was not originally tapped to drive the machine. Debuting in Kansas, drivers Bruce and Burt Jenner were slated to share duties for the season, with Burt driving the entirety of the event in this weekend’s Canadian rounds. Unfortunately, a last-minute travel conflict forced Burt to miss the event, with Sofronas stepping in to fill-in.Taking another strong victory, Sofronas will take on similar duties today.Parris Mullins, who due to Sofronas’ move to the No. 33 drove the No. 14 machine, ran his first full race, taking a strong fourth in the process.
