Lamborghini SC63 Racecar Gets First Hyperpole Appearance – Autos Community



Running for the first time on Japanese soil at the majestic Fuji Speedway, Lamborghini Iron Lynx experienced a promising weekend. However, an unfortunate drivetrain issue forced the team to retire with less than two hours to go in the 6 Hours of Fuji, round seven of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship.
 

Continuing the learning and set-up optimisation process since the start of the year, the team celebrated a milestone highlight on Saturday. A spirited drive by Daniil Kvyat in qualifying put the #63 Lamborghini SC63 LMDh racecar for the first time into the Hyperpole session. Kvyat eventually qualified the car in P9 for the race.

The start proved challenging as side-to-side contact relegated Edoardo Mortara to the back after the first corner. However, Mortara bounced back by navigating through some early contact and put up a brilliant performance in the first two and a half hours, as the team extended his stint to benefit from Safety Car situations.
 
Kvyat jumped in next. Despite an early setback—a 10-second penalty for a pit stop infringement—he showed an extremely strong pace that matched the performance level of the frontrunners. Unfortunately, he suddenly slowed down in sector three and was forced to stop for good.

The team’s goal is to ride the momentum into the series finale at Bahrain International Circuit, paving the way for another promising run and laying the best foundations for the 2025 season preparations.
 
While the FIA World Endurance Championship will now be on break for October, the Lamborghini Iron Lynx program will continue to prepare for next week’s Battle Of The Bricks IMSA event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
