The Lynxe Women's Team, formerly ACE Motorsports and Alexisports, is a TM Lights team established as an initiative to promote female drivers in various categories. It is wholly owned by the clothing company Lynxe and its current motorsport director Laura Fahrenbacher. Alexis Rainsford previously owned a small share of the team, however she was not very involved with the day-to-day operation of the team. The former name of the team, Alexisports, was used to attract more advertising and personnel. Rainsford's current husband, Chris Davenport, is the only male who has driven a full schedule for the team.

Rainsford's connections with several ex-Volpi staff meant that the team became closely linked with VRT through 2012. The team barely missed out on winning the Independent's Trophy in 2011 with Chris Davenport, but opted not to contest the Independent's Trophy in 2012. Lynxe instead started a full-time Master Cup team, Lynxe Racing, in 2013, and LWT became their development team.
