Lamborghini “satisfied” to log over 1,000km in first US test at Daytona
The new Iron Lynx-run prototype performed exceptionally well, topping the GTP timesheets and covering a distance of 1,150km over two days in its first running in the United States. This car, powered by a 3.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 engine, will compete in IMSA SportsCar Championship Endurance Cup races starting from Sebring. The team encountered a delayed start to the test but only experienced a left-rear blowout towards the end of the first day, resulting in some lost track time. Despite this, Andrea Caldarelli set an impressive lap time of 1m35.027s. The car will not participate in the Daytona race, as it is being flown back to Europe for homologation before the World Endurance Championship opening race in Qatar on March 2. Iron Lynx will now proceed to the Circuit of the Americas for its final LMDh pre-season test, where they will also test their GT cars and focus on developing dampers suitable for the bumpy American tracks.
