Lindsay Brewer closed out the 2026 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America season with a pair of second-place finishes in the Pro-Am class at Monza, securing the runner-up spot in the championship for the second consecutive year.
Sharing the #77 Forty7 Motorsports Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO2 with Keawn Tandon, the American delivered one of her strongest performances of the campaign at the Italian circuit, narrowly missing out on victory in Race 1 before another competitive drive helped the duo secure second place in the final race of the season.
Brewer arrived in Italy following a strong return to the Pro-Am podium at Indianapolis, where she and Tandon scored second and third in class across the two races, finishing eighth overall in Race 2. The result helped the pairing recover from a frustrating Road America round and reinforced their position among the leading Pro-Am contenders.
After finishing runner-up in the AM championship during her rookie season in 2025, Brewer stepped up to Pro-Am for 2026 and immediately established herself as a podium contender alongside Tandon at Forty7 Motorsports. Back-to-back podiums at Sebring, a second-place finish in Race 1 at Laguna Seca and third at Watkins Glen gave the duo four podiums from the opening six races. Their momentum was interrupted at Road America, where Brewer finished sixth in Race 1 before an electrical issue during the pit stop in Race 2 forced the #77 Lamborghini behind the wall.
Indianapolis provided a welcome response, and Brewer headed to Monza determined to carry that momentum into the season finale. The Italian round presented a new challenge, however, as she had never raced at the historic circuit before. Rain also complicated preparations, with the team having to adapt to contrasting conditions throughout the opening sessions.
Brewer and Tandon began promisingly in the dry first practice, setting a 1:47.966 to finish fifth in class and 10th overall. The second session took place in wet conditions, leaving the pairing with limited representative running ahead of qualifying.
Tandon took the wheel for the opening qualifying session and quickly found his rhythm, posting a 1:48.1 before lowering his time to 1:47.320. He continued to make improvements over the following laps, eventually recording a 1:47.161 to secure eighth overall and third in Pro-Am.
Brewer was scheduled to contest the second qualifying session, with the results setting the grid for the season finale. She progressively improved her times over the session, despite fighting a technical issue. She clocked a 1:49.2 lap, before lowering her benchmark to 1:48.839 on her final run to take seventh in class.
Tandon started the opening race from third in Pro-Am and initially lost one position during the first lap, settling into fourth in class and 10th overall. He briefly dropped another place after a small mistake on the exit of the first chicane on lap three, but recovered to third in class a lap later.
Back into the 1:47s, Tandon established a consistent rhythm and maintained a comfortable gap to the cars around him, moving up to ninth overall as the race progressed. With the pit window approaching, he remained on track and continued to lap in the 1:47.3 range, demonstrating strong pace relative to the surrounding traffic.
As other competitors began making their stops, Tandon climbed through the overall order and reached second overall and second in class, trailing only Kyle Marcelli. He stayed out until lap 16 before handing the car over to Brewer from second place.
Brewer rejoined in third in class, approximately four seconds behind the second-placed car of Boucher, while holding a nine-second advantage over Fuentes behind. She immediately began to close the gap, setting a 1:49.1 before dipping below the 1:49 barrier and demonstrating the pace that would define her stint.
By lap 22, Brewer had improved to a 1:48.2 and continued to extend her advantage over Fuentes, keeping the gap at around eight seconds. At the same time, she was steadily closing in on Boucher ahead, setting up a fight for second place in the closing stages.
Brewer made her move on lap 24, completing the pass to take second in Pro-Am and climbing to sixth overall. Her pace was particularly impressive as she began to close on the class leader, Doyle, running around two seconds faster and reducing the gap with every lap.
The American continued to push until the chequered flag, crossing the line less than a second behind Doyle after a superb stint. Although she narrowly missed out on victory, second place marked one of her strongest performances in Lamborghini Super Trofeo and highlighted the progress she had made during her second season in the championship.
The result also strengthened Brewer and Tandon's position in the Pro-Am standings as they pursued the vice-champion in the North American series.
Reflecting on her first weekend at Monza, Brewer praised the team's progress despite a challenging qualifying session.
“This week has been incredible, my first time ever here at Monza. In qualifying we had an issue with the brakes in the car, so unfortunately Keawn qualified third, which was great, but I qualified seventh for Race 2. I didn't know what to expect going into the race, I just knew we had a lot more pace and we were able to bring it home P2 in class, and I think P6 overall."
“It was really good, the car felt amazing, we kept getting faster and faster throughout the session, so I'm very happy.”
Brewer admitted that the narrow margin to victory left her wanting more, but described the race as one of the best stints of her career in the series. “So close, I was super close to winning, I needed one or two more laps to get the win, so a bit frustrating there. We're so close, but we have tomorrow and I know we can do it."
“I think this was the best stint I've had, probably ever, in this car and in this series. Everything just clicked. I think I just felt really calm, the car felt great, and I think when I don't get in my head and I back it up a little bit, I end up going much quicker, so I felt really, really good in the car.”
The final race of the North American season took place on Friday morning, with Brewer taking the start after her impressive performance the previous day. She lined up seventh in Pro-Am and 18th overall, facing colder conditions that made tyre activation particularly challenging.
The field made a clean getaway, and Brewer immediately gained three positions overall to move up to sixth in class. She continued to make progress through the opening laps, battling with Heffring before completing the pass for fifth in class on lap two.
Brewer settled into a strong rhythm, recording a 1:49.3 and closing in on Fuentes ahead, although traffic from another class complicated her pursuit. A local yellow flag followed when the #122 of Lawley went off, but the race continued without a safety car.
As the pit window approached, Foster moved ahead of Brewer for fifth, leaving the American close behind and within half a second. Brewer continued to push, improving to a 1:48.3 while also attempting to clear Staab in the overall order.
She brought the car into the pits on lap nine from sixth in class, handing over to Tandon after another very solid stint. The #77 remained in a good position for the end of the race, and Tandon moved up to fifth during the pit cycle as several cars ahead were still due to stop.
The leading Pro-Am contenders made their stops on lap 12, bringing Tandon further into the fight. He immediately began to close on the car ahead, recording a 1:47.1 and reducing the gap to around two seconds.
Tandon completed a pass on Henry on lap 15 to move into fourth, then continued to lap in the 1:47s as he gained ground on Nemschoff. When Nemschoff spun at the first chicane, the bright pink Forty7 car moved up to third before Tandon advanced into second in class as Chambers hit trouble and retired.
Now running in the 1:46s, Tandon maintained the strong pace through the closing stages, although the gap to leader Formal remained around 20 seconds. With the positions stabilising over the final laps, he brought the #77 Lamborghini home in second place, completing a second consecutive runner-up finish for Brewer and Tandon.
The result confirmed Brewer's second-place finish in the 2026 Pro-Am standings with 109 points, following her runner-up campaign in the AM class in 2025. Moving up a category and returning to the championship fight in a new class, the American completed another year of consistent progress, with the Monza finale providing a fitting conclusion to her strongest campaign yet.
“It was definitely an eventful race for sure", Brewer commented. "I started my stint off, it was really cold this morning, so I had a bit of trouble activating the tyres. I made up a few spots on the start, which was great, and was able to pass the car over for Keawn. He made up a lot of positions, did a great job as usual, and we were able to bring home second place with a little bit of luck. But yeah, it was an incredible race. P2 in the championship, which is so amazing.”
“So close to the win yesterday, so overall a great last round in the North American Championship. Can't thank my sponsors and Forty7 Motorsports enough. What an incredible year, and I'm just looking forward to the World Finals tomorrow.”
With the North American season now complete, Brewer and Tandon head into the Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Finals, taking place on Saturday and Sunday at Monza. The event brings together competitors from the North American, European and Asian championships to fight for the world titles.
