Sarah Bovy, a Belgian driver representing the Iron Dames team, secured her first pole position in the LMGT3 category for the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. This historic moment took place during the third round of the championship on May 11th, at her local circuit. Bovy expressed her excitement during the post-qualifying press conference, stating that it was an incredible feeling to secure pole position in Spa for the first time. She also mentioned the special importance of being on the front row of the grid. Bovy acknowledged the challenges of the Spa-Francorchamps track and emphasized the importance of respecting its demands. Despite the difficulties faced during the qualifying session, she remained composed and maximized the performance of her car. Bovy’s exceptional speed was evident throughout the qualifying sessions, where she led both Q1 and the Hyperpole. It is worth noting that the Hyperpole session was briefly interrupted by a serious accident involving Alex Malykhin in the Manthey Porsche 911. However, Bovy’s achievement marked Lamborghini’s first pole position since joining the WEC in collaboration with Iron Lynx for their Hypercar and LMGT3 programs. After a series of setbacks in the previous race in Imola, the team is determined to secure their second victory in the WEC, building on their success in last year’s Bahrain finale.
