Taurino Opens Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America Career Atop Am Class Podium
Giano Taurino, making the series debut for himself and his family-owned team, was the Am class winner in the No. 88 Taurino Racing, Lamborghini Palm Beach Huracán by 11 seconds over 17-year-old Luke Berkeley (No. 23 Dream Racing Motorsport, Lamborghini Broward). A potential battle between Taurino and Alan Metni (No. 99 Change Racing, Lamborghini Dallas) didn’t materialize after Metni was assessed a drive-through penalty for his mandatory pit stop not meeting the minimum time.
“It feels good. I was pushing for a better overall (finish), but the fact that I’m here is already enough of an award,” Taurino said. “I’m happy. I think my race went OK. I started pushing on the last lap and I got my fastest time, so I think I can maybe find some more time the next time.”
