Lamborghini’s The Real Race has now crowned its three champions – one from each of its participating regions – who’ll head to Sant’Agata for a VIP experience and the chance to become Lamborghini’s official sim racing driver for 2022.
Two of the regions’ champions had already been decided, with Andrew O-Hara of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region opting not to race the finale – Terry Rayton took both wins – while Jordan Sherratt of the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region did and, once again, dominated both races.
The North and Latin America (NALA) region though was a straight fight between William Hendrickson and Fidel Moreira, with 22 points between them and 39 points for each of the two race wins at Misano. Incredibly, it came down to a single moment. Hendrickson picked up a drive-through penalty for track limits violations, allowing Moreira a free run to take the first race win and the championship lead, while his rival finished in fourth. With grid positions carrying through to the second race, Moreira ran a lights-to-flag race to take the title.
One event not quite ready to crown a champion is the GT World Challenge Asia Endurance series. The scheduled finale this week at Suzuka was postponed for a second time, with a new date to come.
