The No. 60 car will be piloted by Bronze-rated Claudio Schiavoni, Matteo Cressoni, and former Lamborghini factory driver Matteo Cairoli. Schiavoni and Cressoni enter their fifth consecutive FIA WEC season together, while Cairoli joins full-time after debuting with the team at the 2024 Bahrain finale.

The No. 61 entry features Christian Ried (competing against his own Proton Competition team), new Mercedes-AMG performance driver Maxime Martin, and Formula 4 graduate Lin Hodenius.

The team unveiled distinctive liveries for both cars - yellow for No. 60 and black for No. 61. These designs pay homage to both Iron Lynx and Mercedes-AMG's racing heritage and past successes.

Team Principal and CEO Andrea Piccini expressed satisfaction with the driver lineup and their collaboration with Mercedes-AMG. He highlighted the experienced pairing of Schiavoni and Cressoni complemented by Cairoli's speed and WEC experience in the No. 60 car. For the No. 61, Piccini noted the combination of Ried's extensive WEC experience, Hodenius's impressive testing performance despite his youth, and Martin's world-class endurance racing expertise.
