Lamborghini “satisfied” to log over 1,000km in first US test at Daytona
The new Iron Lynx-run prototype performed exceptionally well during its first running in the United States, setting the fastest lap times and covering a total distance of 1,150 km over two days. It will compete in the IMSA SportsCar Championship Endurance Cup races starting from Sebring, following successful private tests in Europe. Despite a small setback on the first day due to a blowout, the team was able to gather valuable data and experience, with driver Andrea Caldarelli setting an impressive lap time. The car will not participate in the Daytona race as it will be sent back to Europe for homologation before the WEC season begins in Qatar on March 2. Romain Grosjean, Daniil Kvyat, and Mirko Bortolotti also took turns behind the wheel and are expected to race at Sebring. The team will now head to Circuit of the Americas for its final pre-season test, which is crucial for the development of their LMDh program and suspension tuning.
