Maxime Martin has joined Iron Lynx for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 campaign with Mercedes-AMG machinery.
After recently departing BMW, the 38-year-old joined Iron Lynx as their first driver for the upcoming WEC campaign.
Mercedes-AMG are making their first appearance in the championship in the LMGT3 category, which is entering its second year.
Through doing so, they have partnered with Iron Lynx who have competed in the past six editions of the Le Mans 24 Hours which is one of the rounds on the WEC schedule.
“I’m very happy to join Iron Lynx for the 2025 WEC season, said Martin.
“Mercedes-AMG is a new manufacturer for me and for the team, and I’m definitely looking forward to the year ahead.
“Iron Lynx has a remarkable history, and I have been teammates with Andrea Piccini in the past.
“It will be special to be back with him as the Team Principal. I cannot wait to get started in Qatar and try to win some races.”
Andrea Piccini, Iron Lynx Team Principal and CEO, added: “I have always held Maxime in very high regard.
“We have a friendly relationship, and we also had the chance to race together in 2013, finishing second in the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring.
“He’s a really strong driver, extremely quick, and particularly able to master challenging conditions.
“I have seen him do exceptional things throughout the years without any mistakes, which makes him a top contender, especially in long-distance races.
“If we add his experience and team-player ability, I honestly think he’s one of the best possible choices for any team, and I’m proud to welcome him to Iron Lynx for the 2025 season.”
Iron Lynx will announce three more drivers in due course of the 2025 FIA WEC season.
