Iron Lynx has confirmed Stephen and Brenton Grove for their FIA World Endurance Championship debut at Spa in preparation for the Le Mans 24 Hours.
The father and son duo will compete in the third round of the 2025 schedule with Iron Lynx at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps on 10 May.
After Claudio Schiavoni suffered a physical injury at the European Le Mans Series’ 4 Hours of Le Castellet last weekend, he will focus on becoming fully fit for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which takes place on 14-15 June.
Matteo Cressoni will also step out of the driving seat to support the Grove family pairing ahead of their maiden appearance at Le Mans in the third Mercedes-AMG LMGT3 Evo.
Martin Berry will, meanwhile, join the #61 Mercedes-AMG crew, replacing Christian Ried in the lineup, partnering with co-drivers Lin Hodenius and Maxime Martin.
Brenton said: “It’s super exciting to make our WEC debut this weekend in Belgium.
“It’s a shame that it’s in these circumstances, and we wish a speedy recovery for Claudio – we will do our best to make him proud.
“The team were great to work with in Portugal, and we took some big steps forward, so it made sense to continue our program in the lead up to Le Mans.
“For sure, it will be a learning weekend, but Spa is always unpredictable, so anything is possible.”
The Iron Lynx team have been working with the Mercedes-AMG package this season, a car both new to them and to the FIA WEC.
Last round at Imola, Iron Lynx accomplished their first race finish with both entrants.
Spa will act as a precursor for all teams ahead of the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans.
