Lin Boy Dieter Hodenius[1] (born 1 August 2006) is a Dutch racing driver set to compete in the LMGT3 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship for Iron Lynx as a Mercedes-AMG junior.

Career

[edit]

Hodenius began his racing career in 2022, competing in Porsche Sprint Challenge Benelux for Team GP Elite.[2] Racing in the GT4 class, Hodenius scored a best result of second in both Assen races as he ended the year sixth in points.[3] Remaining in Porsche one-make competition for the start of the following year, Hodenius raced in Porsche Sprint Challenge Southern Europe for the same team,[4] taking two wins en route to the Sport Pro-Am title.[5] For the rest of the year, Hodenius switched to single-seaters as he joined Monlau Motorsport to compete in the F4 Spanish Championship from the second round onwards.[6] In his only season in the series, Hodenius scored a best result of 11th twice as he ended the year 27th in the overall standings.[7] Towards the end of the year, Hodenius also raced for Van Amersfoort Racing in the Barcelona round of the Euro 4 Championship.[8]

Following a one-off appearance for Monlau Motorsport in the Formula Winter Series at Aragón, in which he finished seventh in race two at the start of 2024,[9] Hodenius returned to Van Amersfoort Racing to race in both the Italian F4 and Euro 4 Championships.[10] In the former, Hodenius took his only points in a wet-dry race three at Le Castellet by finishing eighth,[11] whereas in the latter, Hodenius went scoreless as he took a best result of 13th twice.[12]

At the beginning of 2025, Hodenius joined Mercedes-fielding Team Motopark to make his debut in GT3 competition at the Dubai 24 Hour.[13] For the rest of the year, Hodenius joined Mercedes-affiliated Iron Lynx to compete in the LMGT3 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship.[14] In his rookie year in the series, Hodenius scored a pair of eighth-place finishes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 6 Hours of Fuji, as well as a podium at the Bahrain finale en route to a 13th-place points finish.[15][16] Hodenius also raced for Iron Lynx in one-off appearances in the Italian GT Endurance and Sprint championships,[17] most notably taking a win in the former at Imola.[18] During 2025, Hodenius also raced for GetSpeed at the 24 Hours of Spa,[19] as well as competing for Lone Star Racing at the Indianapolis 8 Hour and select rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship.[20]

The following year, Hodenius remained with Iron Lynx for a second campaign in the FIA World Endurance Championship,[21] as well as returning to Lone Star Racing to compete in the IMSA SportsCar Championship,[22] as a new addition to Mercedes-AMG's junior driver roster.[23]
