Lin Boy Dieter Hodenius (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

Hodenius began his racing career in 2022, competing in Porsche Sprint Challenge Benelux for Team GP Elite. Racing in the GT4 class, Hodenius scored a best result of second in both Assen races as he ended the year sixth in points. 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, taking two wins en route to the Sport Pro-Am title. 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. 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. Towards the end of the year, Hodenius also raced for Van Amersfoort Racing in the Barcelona round of the Euro 4 Championship.

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, Hodenius returned to Van Amersfoort Racing to race in both the Italian F4 and Euro 4 Championships. In the former, Hodenius took his only points in a wet-dry race three at Le Castellet by finishing eighth, whereas in the latter, Hodenius went scoreless as he took a best result of 13th twice.

At the beginning of 2025, Hodenius joined Mercedes-fielding Team Motopark to make his debut in GT3 competition at the Dubai 24 Hour. For the rest of the year, Hodenius joined Mercedes-affiliated Iron Lynx to compete in the LMGT3 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship. 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. Hodenius also raced for Iron Lynx in one-off appearances in the Italian GT Endurance and Sprint championships, most notably taking a win in the former at Imola. During 2025, Hodenius also raced for GetSpeed at the 24 Hours of Spa, as well as competing for Lone Star Racing at the Indianapolis 8 Hour and select rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship.

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