Lamborghini Iron Lynx Continues Testing Efforts With Lamborghini SC63 Race Car

Lamborghini Iron Lynx concluded a successful test session at Almeria as the development efforts continued on the Lamborghini SC63 LMDh prototype before its 2024 debut. The car ran in a three-day programme which included reliability and system tests.

The Spanish track, located in the Southern region of Andalusia, is a perfect location for testing with its variegated 4.2-kilometre layout, and the team maximised the opportunity, logging around 2,000 kilometres with no significant issues to report.

Driver duties were spit by Lamborghini Squadra Corse Official Drivers Andrea Caldarelli and Romain Grosjean. While the Italian has been a stalwart of the project since day one, the 37-year-old Swiss racer had the chance to sample the new LMDh machinery for the first time, equally splitting the mileage with his teammate. The former Formula 1 driver provided additional experience to the development efforts.

Lamborghini Iron Lynx will continue its European testing programme as it readies for a pivotal trip to the USA in preparation for its 2024 IMSA run. The team will test on some of America’s most iconic racetracks, providing critical insight into a different style of racing compared to the one experienced in the WEC and Europe.

Iron Lynx Team Principal and CEO Andrea Piccini said: “Testing at Almeria went very well, and we are delighted as we saw consistent improvement, promising ahead of a pivotal and challenging stage of our preparations. We were also delighted to welcome Romain to our LMDh programme after seeing him in action in GT Daytona earlier this year. We are also bracing for important test days to kick off our American operation.”
