Bamber wins the season finale by 6.111 seconds to finish runner-up, as Touchette settles the only class championship left open after De La Torre’s opening-race victory.
Elias De La Torre secured the 2026 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America title in Monza’s opening race on 22 October, and Philippe Touchette settled the remaining LB Cup championship in the finale on 23 October. Will Bamber won that final race by 6.111 seconds to finish championship runner-up, Sportscar365 reported.
Bamber started first for XONINE Racing and built a two-second lead after one racing lap. He remained ahead through the mandatory pit stops and took his fifth victory of the season, according to Sportscar365.
| Position | Drivers | Team |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Will Bamber | XONINE Racing |
| 2 | Hampus Ericsson / Nick Persing | Wayne Taylor Racing |
| 3 | Dennis Lind / Elias De La Torre | TR3 Racing |
Ericsson moved into second on lap 17 of 24, with Lind following him through. Lind briefly passed Ericsson late in the race, but an error at the Ascari section of the circuit returned second place to Ericsson, leaving Lind third.
The 16-year-old was sent off at Fleetwood in his second start of the season, leaving Arsenal short of wing options before Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.

| Class | Winning drivers | Team and car |
|---|---|---|
| Pro-Am Cup | Danny Formal / Graham Doyle | Wayne Taylor Racing, No. 110 |
| Am | David Staab | Precision Performance Motorsports, No. 148 |
In the 22 October opener, Lind qualified on pole—the first place on the starting grid—by more than seven-tenths of a second. He built a lead of more than ten seconds before the mandatory stops. De La Torre took over and maintained the lead, finishing 16.629 seconds clear to clinch the title with one race remaining.
Bamber and Ericsson had both entered the opener still able to win the championship. De La Torre took the title alone because he had shared his car with several co-drivers during the season, including Bamber, who became his closest rival.
| Position | Drivers | Team |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Elias De La Torre / Dennis Lind | TR3 Racing |
| 2 | Hampus Ericsson / Nick Persing | Wayne Taylor Racing |
| 3 | James Wallis / Al Morey | Wayne Taylor Racing |
Ericsson held second until the stops, and Persing retained it after taking over. Bamber dropped to fourth during the pit-stop phase, promoting James Wallis and Al Morey to third. Morey held off Bamber’s pressure in the closing laps.
LB Cup was the only championship still undecided entering the finale: Formal and Staab had secured their respective class titles before the opener. Rocky T Bolduc had arrived as LB Cup points leader, but a brake-fluid leak in his Topp Racing car before the first race cost him six laps during repairs. He eventually joined that race and was classified fourth in the division, while Touchette won for TB Autosports and took the points lead.
Bolduc led the class early in the finale but retired to the pits in the second half with a suspected driveshaft problem on his No. 199 car, according to Sportscar365. Touchette took his fourth class victory of the season and secured the LB Cup title, settling the last outstanding championship.
The appeal tribunal removed an additional suspended spectator ban, but each club must still play its next home Scottish Cup tie without fans and pay the visiting side £100,000.
