Iron Lynx was to the Paul-Ricard circuit for two days of testing with its new cars. Two Porsche 911 RSRs were on track, replacing the Ferrari 488 GTE.

By switching to the Lamborghini camp in 2024 on a Hypercar programme, it had become complicated for Iron Lynx to continue racing Ferraris in the GTE and GT3 classes. Therefore, the Italian squad will not put all its eggs in one basket in 2023.

 

It will be Porsche in WEC and ELMS with the support of Proton Racing, Christian Ried's team. In IMSA - for the long distance races and GT World Challenge Europe - Iron Lynx will be with Lamborghini. The tests to prepare 2023 started at Paul-Ricard with two Porsche 911 RSRs which have already received their 2023 colours while keeping the Iron Lynx 2022 numbers.

The 2023 programme has not yet been officially announced, but we should see the two Porsche 911 RSRs in WEC and ELMS, one for Iron Lynx, the other for Iron Dames.

 

As for the crews, it is too early to make anything official although it is understood that Matteo Cressoni and Matteo Cairoli took the wheel of the #60. Michelle Gatting - one of the Iron Dames - drove the #85. As a reminder, Christina Nielsen drove the Porsche juste after the final round of the European Le Mans Series Final, as did Michelle Gatting and Sarah Bovy.
