The team heads into the Sebring round with much the same goals as they did in Qatar, namely focusing on reliability and learning more about the car while improving overall performance. The former was particularly positive in Qatar, where the SC63 reached the finish of the 10-hour race, completing a total of 330 laps. In addition to the recent long-distance achievement of the car, the #63 crew will also arrive at Sebring with some knowledge of the track in advance, having participated in a group test last month.

The 6.019km (3.741 miles), 17-turn Sebring International Raceway is one of the most demanding circuits on the IMSA calendar, with the change of surface and variation of corners presenting innumerable challenges for the crews. For the Lamborghini Iron Lynx team, the engineering challenge is also at the forefront, with significant alterations to suspension and ride height settings required to withstand the natural bumps and undulations of the circuit over the course of 12 hours. Therefore, further learning and data gathering will be the primary aim for the Lamborghini Squadra Corse engineers and technicians across the weekend, as the LMDh project continues its journey.

Lamborghini aiming to return to winning ways in GTD

The Sebring 12 Hours has been a happy hunting ground for Lamborghini in the GTD class over the years, with Grasser Racing Team winning the 2019 edition, completing the unofficial 36 Hours of Florida following its victory in the Daytona 24 Hours. Lamborghini, courtesy of TR3 Racing, also finished on the podium with second in 2021. Iron Lynx will field a single Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 in the GTD Pro class, with Franck Perera, Jordan Pepper and Mirko Bortolotti at the wheel of the #19 car. Meanwhile, the #60 will again feature Claudio Schiavoni and Matteo Cressoni, with the pair joined by Leonardo Pulcini.

In GTD, the #83 Iron Dames machine remains largely unchanged, with Michelle Gatting, Sarah Bovy and Rahel Frey lining up together. The full season entries of Forte Racing and Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti are also contenders for class victory. Devlin Defrancesco, Misha Goihkberg and Loris Spinelli will look to avenge a disappointing Daytona round for Forte, while Kyle Marcelli, Graham Doyle and Danny Formal partner again for WTR.
