Of particular interest will be the Iron Lynx Lamborghini entry as the collaboration of the two Italian outfits begins with the new Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo2.
This season will prove itself as essential preparation ahead of Iron Lynx Lamborghini’s WEC campaign in the Hypercar category next year where the number of manufacturers in the series’ top-tier category is expected to reach double figures.
