The Lamborghini Grand Finals commence November 1-6 at Algarve International Circuit in Portimão, Portugal, and Star Spangled Racing with partners NTE Sport will make its international debut at the season finale event. The IMSA team will take the world stage for four final races in the 2022 season after the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season has already completed 10 rounds across the United States. Star Spangled Racing’s Tiger Tari (No. 118) and Fred Roberts (No. 189) will represent the team, competing in four final races to end the year.

Momentum is on the side of driver Tiger Tari, who last finished in third place at the previous round of VIRginia International Raceway. Fred Roberts also recently celebrated success at VIRginia International Raceway, earning the second podium finish of his four races in 2022.

“The podium at VIRginia International Raceway certainly raised my bar,” Tari said. “I’m looking forward to safety first than hope to podium! It will certainly be a great way to experience my first international competition! I’m looking forward to it!”

The first three days of the event will consist of five test sessions, two practice sessions, and a pair of qualifying sessions, where Tari and Roberts will set their starting positions for races 11 and 12 for the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America championship, the final two IMSA races of the season. Round 11 will take place on Friday, November 4 at 11:00 AM local time, 7:00 AM Eastern. Round 12 will follow that afternoon at 3:50 PM local, 11:50 AM ET.

Both Tari and Roberts will compete in the eight-car class of LB Cup, in the 27-car field that will compete in the two USA races. Following the conclusion of the pair of Lamborghini Squadra Corse North America races, the series will join their European and Asian-series counterparts for two global races, the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Grand Finals. All competitors will face off in two final races, with points awarded in each event. The competitors with the most points at the end of the final race will become the 2022 world champions. Race one will take place on Saturday, November 5 at 2:45 PM local (10:45 PM ET), followed by the event-concluding race two on Sunday, November 6 at 12:00 PM ET (7:00 AM ET).

Also known as Portimão Circuit, Algarve International Circuit is in the Algarve region of Portugal. The 2.891-mile, 15-turn circuit will host the season finale event. All races will stream live on the Lamborghini Squadra Corse YouTube page.
