The driver lineup and liveries for the pair of Iron Lynx Mercedes AMG LMGT3s have been revealed ahead of the German marque’s maiden FIA WEC campaign.
The No. 60 car will feature Bronze-rated Claudio Schiavoni, Matteo Cressoni and ex-Lamborghini factory driver Matteo Cairoli. While Schiavoni and Cressoni are set for their fifth FIA WEC season together, Matteo Cairoli, who parted ways with Lamborghini last month, will continue his journey with the team after joining it for the 2024 finale in Bahrain.
The sister car, which will sport No. 61, will be shared by Christian Ried (who will race against his own team (Proton Competition) in LMGT3 this year as part of this deal), newly-minted Mercedes-AMG performance driver Maxime Martin, and Formula 4 graduate L in Hodenius.
Iron Lynx’s liveries for its new venture with AMG have also been shown off; the No. 60 will race in yellow while the No. 61 will race in black.
The team says the new designs “acknowledge the history of both the team and the manufacturer, with nods to their historical colours and past success.”
“We are very satisfied with how the driver line-up has shaped up, and for the positive collaboration that we have established so far with Mercedes-AMG as we prepare for this new program,” said Andrea Piccini, Iron Lynx team principal and CEO.
