IndyCar racer and Lamborghini factory driver Romain Grosjean, along with freshly signed factory pilot Matteo Cairoli, will join the previously announced Claudio Schiavoni and Matteo Cressoni in the GTD-class No. 60 Iron Lynx Lamborghini Huracán for the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Former F1 racer Grosjean finished fourth on his debut with the team in last year’s race. He will return to the GT cockpit before making the switch to the Lamborghini SC63 later in the year. Cairoli, who will make his Lamborghini debut with the team, has four previous Rolex 24 starts.
“Romain drove with us in No. 63 last year and raced well. Matteo is well known at Iron Lynx as we shared an ELMS season but will race together for the first time with Lamborghini, so we’re really looking forward to seeing him driving at Daytona,” said Iron Lynx team principal and CEO Andrea Piccini. “They will make a very strong addition to the lineup of car No. 60.”
Iron Lynx will field a total of three Huracáns at Daytona. Joining the No. 60 in GTD will be the “Iron Dames,” Michelle Gatting, Rahel Frey and Sarah Bovy, with the fourth driver still to be confirmed, in the No. 83. The team’s GTD PRO entry, No. 19, is an all-star squad of Lamborghini drivers — Mirko Bortolotti, Jordan Pepper, Andrea Caldarelli and Franck Perera.
