FIA World Endurance Championship
ENDURANCE RACING AT ITS BEST
Launched in 2012, the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) is regarded as one of the world's most prestigious endurance championships. It follows on from the World Sportscar Championship organised by the FIA between 1953 and 1992. The calendar includes venues on four continents, including the major highlight of the season, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Numerous renowned manufacturers are represented in the WEC with their hypercars or LMGT3 models.
2026 season
After an intense debut year with many valuable experiences, we are starting our second season in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2026. The two Mercedes-AMG LMGT3 cars will once again be fielded by the Iron Lynx Customer Racing Team. Rui Andrade, Martin Berry, and Mercedes-AMG Performance Driver Maxime Martin will occupy the cockpit of the #61 car. Matteo Cressoni, Lin Hodenius, who will be competing as Mercedes-AMG Junior Driver from 2026, and Johannes Zelger will take turns at the wheel of the #79 car. The eight-race season begins on 28 March (Qatar) and ends on 7 November (Bahrain). The highlight of the season, the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, will be held on 13 and 14 June.

Upward trend in debut season
Together with the Iron Lynx Customer Racing Team, we are contesting our FIA World Endurance Championship debut season in 2025 with the Mercedes-AMG LMGT3. The team contests the eight-race season with two Mercedes-AMG LMGT3s and a changing driver line-up. Thanks to continuous performance improvements over the course of the year, Iron Lynx scores points in four of the last five races and finishes its debut season with a podium finish. Martin Berry, Lin Hodenius, and Maxime Martin cross the finish line in the final race in Bahrain just 0.786 seconds behind second place. After 26 years, we also compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time as part of the WEC, where Iron Lynx fields a third Mercedes-AMG LMGT3 due to winning the LMGT3 championship in the 2024 European Le Mans Series and scores the first points of the season.
