Iron Lynx Motorsport Lab is an Italian auto racing team founded by Andrea Piccini, Deborah Mayer, Claudio Schiavoni and Sergio Pianezzola. The team is based in Cesena, Emilia-Romagna. They primarily participate in sports car racing, and are a sister team of both Iron Dames and Prema Racing under the DC Racing Solutions parent company. Iron Lynx were formerly partnered with Lamborghini in operating their Lamborghini SC63 LMDh prototype.
In 2017, the Iron Lynx Motorsport Lab was created by Deborah Mayer, Claudio Schiavoni, Sergio Pianezzola, and Andrea Piccini.
In their first year competing, Iron Lynx placed second and ninth in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe Pro-Am, with one pole position, twelve podiums, and two victories.
Deborah Mayer created the Iron Dames Project, focused on supporting and promoting women in motorsport. Rahel Frey, Michelle Gatting, and Manuela Gostner competed in the 12 Hours of Dubai, placing second in the GT3 Pro-Am class and ninth overall.
For the 2019 season, Iron Lynx continued in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe. They also entered two cars in the Italian GT Championship. The team made their debut in the Le Mans Cup and the European Le Mans Series, racing under the Kessel Racing name in both series. Iron Lynx also entered the Italian F4 Championship with Amna and Hamda Al Qubaisi, under the name Abu Dhabi Racing by Prema.
In the Le Mans Cup, the #8 car placed first, with one pole position and four victories, to earn an automatic entry to the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans. In the European Le Mans Series, the #83 “Iron Dames” car placed 4th and the #60 placed 6th, with both entries standing on the podium twice over the season. In the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the #83 placed 9th in class, and the #60 placed 13th in class.

In the European Le Mans Series they fielded the #60 of Claudio Schiavoni, Sergio Pianezzola, and Andrea Piccini, as well as the trio of Frey, Gatting, and Gostner for the #83 entry. Gatting and Deborah Mayer teamed up for the Le Mans Cup, the first all-female pairing in the series, and were joined by reigning champions Giacomo Piccini and Rino Mastronardi. Iron Lynx continued in the Italian F4 championship, fielding Hamda Al Qubaisi as Abu Dhabi Racing by Prema, and Leonardo Fernaroli and Yaroslav Shevyrtalov as Iron Lynx. Al Qubaisi and Fernaroli also competed in select ADAC F4 rounds as guest drivers. The team entered the Ferrari Challenge Europe for two rounds, under the name Iron Lynx – Scuderia Niki Hasler.
