Lamborghini Iron Lynx’s Daniil Kvyat confirmed a drivetrain failure ended their race during the FIA World Endurance Championship’s 6 Hours of Fuji after a points-contending performance.

The #63 Lamborghini SC63 Hypercar entrant performed strongly throughout the event at the historic Fuji Speedway prior to its retirement.

Daniil Kvyat drove the #63 to the team’s first appearance in Hyperpole qualifying which encourages teams to finish in the top-10 of their class in order to reach the second session to fight for pole position.

Edoardo Mortara started the race for the sole Lamborghini Hypercar in P9, having avoided major contact when a multi-car collision took place on the second lap and even led the race during the third hour as the team extended his stint to benefit from the safety car periods.

The team ran Kvyat afterwards with Mirko Bortolotti expected to fulfill his driving time en route to the checkered flag, though it was not to be at the beginning of the fifth racing hour.

Kvyat, who halted the #63 Lamborghini at the left-side Dunlop Chicane runoff area, said: “There have been a lot of encouraging signs this weekend for sure.

“The strong point was qualifying, as we went into Hyperpole for the first time.

“We managed to put the car in the working window quite well and now we have to understand how to do it consistently.

“Even the race pace was encouraging, somewhere in the region of the top-10.

“Then the drivetrain issue happened and we had to stop on track.

“It’s a shame, and a bit frustrating, but that’s racing.”

The next outing for the Lamborghini Iron Lynx’s LMDh programme will be with the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship squad at the Battle on the Bricks six-hour race on 22 September.
