Lamborghini plans to run a second LMDh car at next year's Le Mans 24 Hours in addition to its solo full-season WEC entry. Full story:
The Italian manufacturer has revealed an intent to make an additional Le Mans entry in the Hypercar class, for the car that Iron Lynx will run in the IMSA SportsCar Championship in North America alongside the LMDh fielded in the full WEC season.
Lamborghini motorsport boss Giorgio Sanna confirmed the plan for a two-car assault on Le Mans at last weekend’s Portimao WEC round when asked about how many more drivers he is planning to sign following last week’s announcement of Daniil Kvyat. “We are looking for six drivers because the target is to have two cars competing at Daytona [the opening IMSA round] and Le Mans,” he said.Sanna added that he is “confident we will get it” when the time comes for Iron Lynx to make the second Le Mans entry early next year.
Lamborghini’s North American programme will be focused on the four endurances races that make up the Michelin-sponsored IMSA Endurance Cup. Sanna outlined an intent for the car to be at next January’s Daytona 24 Hours, while stressing that it is too early to commit to the IMSA season-opener given that the Lambo LMDh has yet to begin testing.He insisted that he had no doubts the car will be ready in time for the 2024 WEC opener at Qatar in early March and then the Sebring 12 Hours, round two of the IMSA series, in mid-March.
