On March 5th, longtime North Ranch resident Kevin Barrett stepped into the sleek, high-gloss showroom of Lamborghini Westlake to support a young man who means a lot to him—Mateo Siderman, a family friend he’s known for years. The night marked a significant moment: Mateo was being officially introduced as the 2025 Lamborghini Super Trofeo driver for TR3 Racing, and Lamborghini Westlake was unveiling its newest model—the showstopping Temerario.

 

For Kevin, this wasn’t just another community event. It was personal. “We’re just so proud of Mateo,” he said. “Watching him chase this dream—he’s really doing it.”

 

Mateo, 20, grew up in Westlake Village. He was a standout athlete at Westlake High and originally went to Texas to play Division I football. Mateo’s love for speed took over, and he made the call to transfer to UNLV, where he could be closer to racing and still finish school. After earning his racing license in 2024, he’s already collected podium finishes at tracks like Laguna Seca, Charlotte, and Watkins Glen. This year, he’s all in—with his name on a pro car, Lamborghini Westlake backing him, and the full support of his hometown behind him.

 

The event was exactly what you’d expect from Lamborghini Westlake: elegant, exclusive, and energetic. Guests mingled under soft lighting surrounded by gleaming Italian supercars while sipping champagne. When the Temerario—a powerful, futuristic hybrid—was revealed, it turned every head in the room. Then came Mateo’s unveiling. Standing next to his Lamborghini Super Trofeo racecar, he talked to the crowd about the upcoming season and what it means to represent Westlake on a global stage.

 

Lamborghini Westlake’s commitment to supporting local talent was evident. With Mateo carrying their name on his car, it’s more than sponsorship—it’s a partnership.

 

Kevin Barrett left that night proud. He was proud of his friend, proud of the community, and proud to witness something that felt bigger than just fast cars. It was about loyalty, support, and watching someone take off with a dream they’ve had since childhood.
