Founded in 2018 by Deborah Mayer, the Iron Dames project maintains its long-term vision and continues its rapid expansion. Introducing four new faces, a fresh generation of talent, exploring new disciplines, and bringing together increasingly competitive drivers, the 2024 line-up reflects the team’s commitment to growth and excellence.

Today, Italian racing team, Iron Lynx has announced an exciting driver line-up that is set to tackle multiple GT championships, including the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC), European Le Mans Series (ELMS), Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup (GTWC), Ferrari Challenge (FC), including the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 24 Hours of Spa in 2022.  

Today, FIA Formula 3 has announced it will be providing the opportunity for two young aspiring female racing drivers from the Iron Dames racing project to get behind the wheel of a Formula series racing car, supporting the progression of their racing careers.

Iron Dames, the innovative project from championship winning motorsport squad, Iron Lynx, has signed a further two exciting drivers to compete in the 2021 season.

16 year-old Maya Weug is about to make history with Ferrari. The Dutch girl, born in Spain, with a Belgian mother and a Dutch father, is the first woman driver to join the Ferrari Driver Academy. Maya outshone the other girls at the evaluation camp which took place last week at the Scuderia headquarters in Maranello, as the final stage of the FIA “Girls on Track-Rising Stars” programme.

Thanks to an exceptional performance level and rigorous organisation, the 2019 Volant Winfield stayed true to its promises and crowned 16-year-old karting talent Jules Mettetal as the winner. At Circuit Paul Ricard, the Frenchman impressed the jury with his raw speed during a high-level finale with fierce international competition. The 25th winner of the Volant Winfield has earned a full season in the 2019 FIA French F4 Championship organised by the FFSA Academy. Isack Hadjar took home the Trophée Winfield, reserved for the youngest drivers, with Doriane Pin collecting the prize for best female.

Following the successful 2018 Volant Winfield, and with winner and reigning French F4 champion Caio Collet earning a spot within the Renault Sport Academy, the 25th edition will once again be a reference for the detection of young talents (most from karting) at the prestigious Circuit Paul Ricard.
