Race 1 went down on Saturday where newcomer Dane Dennis claimed victory in his first ever race in Lamborghini Super Trofeo. The Raton Racing driver qualified fourth but managed to steadily climb up positions in the 50-minute race. Pole starter Vito Postiglione from Imperiale Racing maintained his lead up until his car began to slow down, resulting to a P6 finish.

Second place went to Nicola De Marco and Fabrizio Del Monte from thew newly created Orange 1 Team Lazarus. The duo was leading at some point before pitting to change driver roles. Harald Schlegelmilch from Artline Team Georgia claimed the final spot on the podium.

Race 2 of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo at Monza unleashed more surprises adding to what was experienced in the first race. There were two safety car periods one of which formed the basis for the final grid setup that would eventually determine the winner.
