AUSTIN, TEXAS (Sept. 16, 2016) – Super Trofeo Round 10 Circuit of the Americas eXclaim Racing/Migliore Motorsports and Will James of Newport, California are reeling with excitement after James’ first win of the season in the Lamborghini Cup class during Round 10 of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Series at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. As others suffered mechanical issues, the No. 11 took a three-second lead over its class competitors. James never looked back not even letting a two-car spin off directly in front of him affect his composure. Leading to his win was his fastest lap time of two minutes, 21-seconds. His win ended class competitor Ross Chouest winning streak for the season. Shawn Lawless finished second in class in the No. 27 entry while Jackie Heinricher completed the podium with a third-place finish in the No. 57 entry.
The victory was the maiden victory not only for James but the Lathrop, California-based team as well.
