Iron Lynx make the switch to Porsche for 2023

During two days of testing, Iron Lynx took its new cars to the Paul-Ricard circuit. Porsche 911 RSRs replaced Ferrari 488 GTEs on track.

By switching to Lamborghini in 2024, Iron Lynx had made it hard to continue racing Ferraris in GTE and GT3.

The Porsche team will participate in the WEC and ELMS with the assistance of Christian Ried's Proton Racing. For the long distance races in IMSA and the GT World Challenge Europe, Iron Lynx will be powered by Lamborghini. Two Porsche 911 RSRs have already received their 2023 colors while maintaining the Iron Lynx 2022 numbers as part of the preparations for 2023 at Paul-Ricard.

We have not yet received official confirmation of the 2023 programme, but we can expect to see the two Porsche 911 RSRs in WEC and ELMS, one for Iron Lynx and one for Iron Dames.

There has been no official announcement regarding the crews, however, it is understood that Matteo Cressoni and Matteo Cairoli took the wheel of the #60. In the #85, Michelle Gatting, one of the Iron Dames, drove. In case you have forgotten, Christina Nielsen drove the Porsche immediately following the final round of the European Le Mans Series Final, as did Michelle Gatting and Sarah Bovy.
