The Iron Lynx and Iron Dames squads have confirmed their final driver rosters to compete in the eight-round FIA World Endurance Championship in the LMGT3 category behind the wheel of Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo 2 machines.
In the #60 Iron Lynx entry, previously Claudio Schiavoni will be joined by Matteo Cressoni – who will campaign his fourth FIA WEC season with the squad.
The pair will be joined by Lamborghini Squadra Corse factory driver Franck Perera, who will make his FIA WEC debut in 2024 after racing for the Iron Lynx in the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup rounds at Daytona, Sebring and Road Atlanta in 2023, as well as this year’s Daytona 24 Hours.
The Iron Dames will be looking to press on from their historic win in the last ever GTE race in Bahrain last year and three-time polesitter from 2023 Sarah Bovy will continue to race in pink aboard the #85 Huracan, joining the previously announced and fellow GTE race-winner Michelle Gatting.
Having competed in the 2023 campaign in the LMP2 campaign for PREMA, Dorianne Pin comes into the LMGT3 class to complete the #85 driver roster.
Pin will balance her FIA WEC duties with a maiden campaign in the all-female F1 Academy single-seater series, where she will continue her relationship with PREMA as a recently announced Mercedes-AMG Junior.
Bovy, Gatting and Pin, along with Rahel Frey recently contested this year’s Daytona 24 Hours in IMSA, achieving a best-ever result of 6th in the GTD class.
“It is very exciting to be able to announce our complete line-up for the LMGT3 category in FIA WEC in 2024,” said Andrea Piccini, Iron Lynx Team Principal and CEO.
“Having already worked with Franck in the United States, I am very happy to have him join our team on the global stage.
“Doriane’s progress in the last few years has been exceptional and I am thrilled to have her racing with us this year.
“She is an incredible talent and will complement both Sarah and Michelle’s strengths massively.
“It is also great to have Sarah and Matteo continue with the team after some stellar performances throughout 2023.”
The 2024 FIA WEC season kicks off with the 1812 km of Qatar on March 2.
