Mercedes World Endurance Championship champion Iron Lynx will hold a special uniform 24 hours a day at this year’s Le Mans to celebrate the 1989 victory of Germany’s famous Enduro.

The client team will be using three Mercedes GT3s in the popular silver arrow program 36 years ago when the manufacturer claimed to dominate 1-2 on the De La Sarthe car.

This is done to celebrate Mercedes' end of Le Mans' 26-year absence, as Iron Lynx abandoned Lamborghini for manufacturers this year and made its WEC debut in 2025.

"We are very honored to work with Mercedes-AMG for this amazing initiative," said Andrea Piccini, CEO of Iron Lynx.

“We all grew up watching Silver Arrows compete and dreamed of their great players and great games.

“It’s amazing to be part of this legacy now and it’s a milestone our team has to remember.”

The 1989 race was a huge occasion for Mercedes, who teamed up with Sauber to enter the outstanding C9, which also won the World Sports Car Championship that year.

On the Le Mans Champion #63 C9 are Jochen Mass, Manuel Reuter and Stanley Dickens who have completed five laps on #61 Sauber-Mercedes shared by Mauro Baldi, Kenny Acheson and Gianfranco Brancatelli.

“The start of the 24-hour Le Mans is an important moment for Mercedes-AMG – 26 years after the brand’s last match against Stars,” said Christoph Sagemueller, head of Mercedes-AMG Motorsport.

“In 1989, Mercedes celebrated a major success with a win or two. We pay tribute to the legendary Subur Messides C9 and won from that time in a very special way.

“The three Mercedes-AMG LMGT3S represent the present in customer racing, but their special silver arrow design is inspired by the past and they also pay tribute to a period of history. I’m glad we were able to continue this period of history at Le Mans.”

However, Mercedes sporadically at Le Mans after 1989, as its poorly-fated 1999 game was the third and most recent Enduro attack since then.

The factory squad entered three CLRs in the LMGTP class, but its No. 4 car was withdrawn after a crash in a warm-up race Saturday morning.

Its No.5 and 6 cars competed, but after a few hours of the race, Peter Dumbreck boarded the former in the air at Indianapolis Corner and landed on the trees.

Although he wasn't hurt, the embarrassing moment was caught by the TV camera, so Mercedes immediately withdrew his third entry.

Le Mans will be held from June 14 to 15 this year, and Iron Lynx participated in the 2025 WEC Sports start with no points in the three rounds.
