Leipert Motorsport is heading into the 2026 season of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe with a strong and versatile line-up. The Wegberg, Germany-based team has secured two full-season entries with cars #44 and #88 and also plans to field additional cars at selected events.
Additional entries throughout the season have already been confirmed for cars #56, #70 and #99. This once again underlines Leipert Motorsport’s ambition to play a defining role in Lamborghini’s long-established one make series this year as well.
For car #44 in the PRO class, the team is fielding an all-Swedish driver duo: Månz Thalin and Axel Bengtsson. Thalin returns to the Lamborghini Super Trofeo following a convincing rookie season and has already celebrated another success with Leipert Motorsport this winter: together with his team-mates, he won the GTX category at the Dubai 24-hour race. Bengtsson is moving up from the ADAC GT4 Germany to the Lamborghini Super Trofeo in 2026. He gained his first experience with Leipert Motorsport back in December 2025 at the 12 Hours of Malaysia.\
In the PRO-AM class, the #88 will be driven by the Finnish duo Henri Tuomaala and Matias Salonen. Tuomaala brings extensive experience from various GT series and has most recently competed in the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux, the Italian GT Endurance Championship and the Porsche Sprint Challenge Southern Europe, amongst others. Salonen is one of the most promising young drivers in international GT racing. Having competed in the DTM Trophy and ADAC GT4 Germany, he has already gained valuable racing experience and is now set to embark on his first season in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo.
Leipert Motorsport will receive additional reinforcement (see photos above) for the races in Barcelona and Monza. There, car #70 will be fielded in the PRO category. With Brendon Leitch (NZL) and Nicolas Stati (AUS), two familiar faces are returning to the team; they will bolster the line-up at these events as well as at the Lamborghini World Finals and are likely to be among the title contenders in the battle for the world final. Fred Roberts (CAN) and Jeff Courtney (USA), who already competed for Leipert Motorsport last season, will also be back in action later this year in the #56 car in the LB Cup class. Both have extensive experience in international GT and endurance racing and will be in action at Leipert’s home race at the Nürburgring as well as at Monza.
Furthermore, additional race entries with guest drivers are planned. Leipert Motorsport will announce the final driver line-ups for the other cars at a later date. “We are delighted to start the 2026 Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe season with a strong mix of new and familiar drivers. The pre-season tests were promising and have shown that we are well positioned competitively. Our clear goal is to build on the successes of recent years and to fight for titles again this season.” – Marc Poos and Marcel Leipert, Managing Directors of Leipert Motorsport.
