An incredible final race weekend for the ArtLine Qazaqstan team took place this weekend at the Spanish circuit Circuito de Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia. For the third stage in a row, the athletes of the Kazakhstan team became the fastest on European tracks.
By the final stage Shota Abkhazava (st.№ 75) had already taken the leading position in the Lamborghini Cup class according to the results of 5 previous stages, having 5 victories in 10 races. Egor Orudzhev (st.№ 57) was 3rd in Pro class in the intermediate protocol of the series, he has 2 wins in the season.
Thursday’s stage started with two pole positions won by our team athletes — Shota Abkhazava and Egor Orudzhev in qualifying races, which meant that they will start both races from the first place on the starting grid.
At the final stage, which is run as an independent event, the races are split and only two classes take part in each race together, rather than all four as at the regular stages. This is certainly only to the advantage of the athletes because mostly they have to fight only with direct rivals.

And the first race consisted of LC and Am classes, in which our Belgian legionnaire Nigel Bailly takes part. Nothing prevented Shota Abkhazava from confidently bringing to victory the pole position gained in the morning with a gap of more than 10 seconds from his nearest rival (for circuit racing, where the gap between rivals can be in thousandths of a second, this is a whole Gap). And it was the sixth victory in a row in the current season!
The race of Pro and Pro-Am classes was held in difficult weather conditions — heavy rain and poor visibility caused many accidents, and the lion’s share of the race was held in safety car mode. Egor Orudzhev did not allow his rivals to get close to him even in restart modes, just five minutes before the finish the race was stopped, and again the anthem of Kazakhstan in honor of Egor Orudzhev’s victory sounded over the Spanish autodrome!
On Friday the sequence of races was changed, and the race day was opened by the second race of Pro and Pro Am classes. Starting from a fair pole position, Egor Orudzhev again left no chance for his rivals to win, all 50 minutes of the race Egor was leading with a comfortable gap from his rivals and was the first to see the cherished finish flag. The fourth victory of the season!
Shota Abkhazava held the final race of the European LC and Am series classes with absolute confidence from start to finish. 27 laps, leaving his class rivals farther behind with each lap, Shota was getting closer to the coveted title of champion. And he did it, finishing in the top three of the absolute prizewinners, taking his seventh victory in the class and entering the history of the European series as LC class champion! Shota noted in the interview that it was a fantastic season with weather disasters, the cancellation of the race in Le Mans, but it was a great pleasure to take part in the series, and thanked the whole team for the great work from the first to the final stage.
And indeed it is impossible not to mention the impeccable work of the team, which prepared excellent equipment and conducted pit stops without the slightest misstep, which allowed ArtLine Qazaqstan to maintain their leading position in the races and triumphantly end the 2024 season.
Two victorious doubles at the final stage, four times the anthem of Kazakhstan sounded over the Circuito de Jerez de la Frontera!
And for the fifth time the anthem of Kazakhstan sounded on Sunday, November 17 at the second race of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Final. Egor Orudzhev set the winning point in the 2024 season.
The World Final is the final of the three Lamborghini Super Trofeo series — North American, European and Asian. The 2024 Finals attracted 67 competitors from three continents.

Egor Orudzhev (ArtLine Qazaqstan) — winner of Lamborghini Super Trofeo World Final!
