The duo were announced as the Italian manufacturer took the wraps of the line-ups for the two cars to be run by the Iron Lynx factory team in the full WEC and four of the five endurance rounds of the IMSA series in North America.
Mortara and Cairoli come into the line-up after joining the test programme with the SC63 developed in conjunction with Ligier Automotive at Jerez in September.
Formula E race winner Mortara will be racing a prototype for the first time, although he has extensive endurance experience in GT3 machinery from his stints as an Audi and then Mercedes factory driver.
The Swiss will contest the WEC in the Hypercar class together with long-time Lamborghini driver Mirko Bortolotti and ex-Formula 1 racer Daniil Kvyat, who was announced as part of the programme in April.
Cairoli, who revealed his departure from Porsche’s GT roster earlier this week, will contest the Sebring, Watkins Glen, and Indianapolis enduros in the IMSA GTP category in what will also be a maiden prototype campaign for him.
The Italian will share with Andrea Caldarelli, another stalwart of the Italian manufacturer’s GT3 programmes, and IndyCar driver Romain Grosjean, who was announced by Lamborghini in December 2022.
The IMSA car is scheduled to join the full-season WEC entry at the double-points Le Mans 24 Hours round in June.
