WEC News: Mercedes, Iron Lynx announce Le Mans Silver livery

Iron Lynx will support Mercedes-AMG in a memorable comeback to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as the Silver Arrows make an emotional return to the fabled racetrack after 26 years. After joining the manufacturer as a Customer Team for 2025, Iron Lynx is now set for the season’s highest challenge at the twice-around-the-clock classic.

To celebrate the event, the team’s three cars will feature a special design concept, reminiscent of the Sauber-Mercedes C9 from 1989. Back then, the Silver Arrows with start numbers #63 and #61 achieved a legendary one-two victory.

The livery is based on the design used back then, and is modelled on the original, from the silver base color to color-coded side mirrors, which were once used to quickly recognize the cars on the track.

After starting the collaboration with Mercedes-AMG at the end of 2024, Iron Lynx worked tirelessly to prepare for the highly demanding run in the world’s most famous and arguably toughest endurance competition.

The team will rely on a competitive and well-rounded group of drivers. The #60 Mercedes-AMG LMGT3 will feature an all-Italian trio including Claudio Schiavoni, Matteo Cressoni, and Matteo Cairoli. On the #61 car, the lineup includes Martin Berry, Lin Hodenius, and Mercedes-AMG Performance Driver Maxime Martin. Joining the pack for the 24 Hours, the #63 car will feature the father-son duo of Stephen and Brenton Grove, partnered with Mercedes-AMG Performance Driver Luca Stolz.
