He will be the first of multiple guesting drivers from Ganassi’s stable for the WEC effort. The team has not specified which races will see a third driver, but it is expected that Lynn and Bamber will compete together in most, if not all, of the 6-hour events. Renger van der Zande is also confirmed as part of Ganassi’s plans for the WEC, while the team’s other IMSA full-season driver is yet to be determined. The goal of utilizing different drivers from Ganassi’s stable is to strengthen the bond between the IMSA and WEC teams and prepare for the 2024 attack on the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
