Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Series Coordinator, Tristan Herbert said, "Not only did the cars look great and they ran smoothly in both sessions.

NASCAR Super Sprint Rookie of the Year and Lamborghini Change Racing driver and owner, Kevin Conway said, "The cars and drivers performed exceptionally in terms of speed and consistency. Lime Rock is a challenging circuit but our practice times were quicker than expected. I'm confident this will translate to delivering the anticipated qualifying and race times tomorrow."

Lamborghini Factory Driver Richard Antinucci added, "The car felt great. Lamborghini has done an incredible job with the new 2013 Super Trofeo. Its predecessor was incredible and to improve this car by such an extent is truly remarkable. This is a great platform for the entire series and all future Lamborghini racing."
