This weekend marks Lamborghini Iron Lynx’s return to the FIA World Endurance Championship at Belgium’s Spa-Francorchamps circuit for the third round, featuring an adjusted driver lineup in the #63 machine.
Lamborghini Factory Driver Andrea Caldarelli joins Mirko Bortolotti and Daniil Kvyat for the 6 Hours of Spa, stepping in for Edoardo Mortara, who’s competing in the FIA Formula E World Championship.
Following a promising performance at Imola last month, where the SC63 showcased strong reliability with a 12th-place finish, the team is focused on continuous learning and understanding of the SC63 at Spa. With the upcoming debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, this race serves as vital preparation for the Lamborghini Iron Lynx squad.
In LMGT3, there’s a single change to the #85 Iron Dames lineup, with Rahel Frey reuniting with Michelle Gatting and Sarah Bovy. The challenging 7.004km Spa-Francorchamps circuit presents various obstacles for drivers and teams, offering overtaking opportunities and demanding high downforce and top speeds as they gear up for Le Mans in June.
