Michelle Gatting, Sarah Bovy and Célia Martin kicked off the 2025 European Le Mans Series (ELMS) campaign with a hard-fought victory – the first of the Iron Dames X Porsche partnership – after stamping their authority on the four-hour contest with a commanding performance.

Iron Dames, the trailblazing all-female racing project, proudly announces its expanded 2025 programme, featuring an unprecedented line-up of 16 drivers competing across the globe. This milestone marks a significant evolution of the Iron Dames initiative, highlighting a reinforced commitment to nurturing talent, promoting diversity, and setting new standards of professionalism in motorsport.
 

From the European Le Mans Series and Michelin Le Mans Cup at Paul Ricard to the IAME Euro Series at Franciacorta Karting Track and from F1 Academy in Miami to Rallye Castine in the French Gravel Rally Championship, there the Iron Dames were centre stage in a wide range of motorsport disciplines around the world.

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.

On Saturday, 2 December, the Iron Dames were honoured to take part in the prestigious Porsche Night of Champions, in celebration of their remarkable achievements. This invitation is a tribute to the indelible mark left by the team in both the legend of Porsche and endurance racing history in 2023 and beyond.
