The collaboration between the Iron Lynx and Proton Competition structures seems to be taking shape for 2023. As announced in AH n°2384, the two entities should join forces for the next season ofEndurance, both in WEC and ELMS. This would then have the consequence of seeing the Iron Dames go from Ferrari à Porsche. Le jour de test de d’après-saison de l’ELMS organisé lundi à Portimão (Portugal) semble confirmer cela puisque Sarah Bovy et Michelle Gatting ont roulé sur le circuit portugais avec une Porsche 911 RSR-19 de l’écurie allemande. 

The two teammates were joined in this test by Christina Nielsen. Note that the Dane, who has already driven for the Iron Dames during the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in the WEC this season, is classified Bronze by the FIA. An interesting fact to take into account since Sarah Bovy will be promoted to Silver as of January 1st. The Iron Dames crew will therefore have to be revised for the next season by incorporating a new Bronze pilot into the effort.

What about Dorian Pin In all of this ? Less than a month before the Rookie Test in Bahrain, the 2022 Trofeo Pirelli champion had the opportunity to settle into the Prema LM P2 in the Algarve after the weekend of competition. ELMS champion, the Italian team is also supported by Iron Lynx.
