Iron Dames set for a landmark weekend in Barcelona

The Iron Dames are gearing up for a milestone weekend at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, with six drivers competing across three premier championships. This strong presence on the Catalan track highlights the rapid growth and increasing influence of the Iron Dames project in endurance racing, as the team continues to push boundaries and elevate female talent at the highest levels of competition.
European Le Mans Series (ELMS): Michelle Gatting, Sarah Bovy, and Célia Martin will tackle one of the most demanding endurance challenges – ELMS Barcelona four-hour race – against a fiercely competitive field.
Michelin Le Mans Cup: Vanina Ickx and Marta García bring together experience and fresh energy, forming a formidable duo on the grid.
Porsche Carrera Cup France: Karen Gaillard, after her historic selection in the Porsche Junior Shootout, will make her highly anticipated debut in one of the most prestigious one-make series.
With six drivers competing in three different series, the Iron Dames continue to break barriers and redefine the landscape of women in motorsport. This weekend is yet another testament to the initiative’s commitment to talent development, creating opportunities, and increasing female representation at the highest level of racing.
The collaboration with Porsche is now fully operational, with all Iron Dames entries racing under the banner of one of the most iconic and successful manufacturers in endurance racing. More than just a partnership, this alliance is a shared vision; a fusion of cutting-edge engineering, motorsport excellence, and the Iron Dames’ unwavering ambition.
Competing with Porsche means embracing a legacy of performance, precision, and innovation. It’s a commitment to pushing limits, both on and off the track, and inspiring a new generation of female racers to dream bigger. Together, Iron Dames and Porsche bring an ambitious, highly competitive team to the grid, fueled by passion and a strong sense of purpose.
As the ELMS Barcelona weekend approaches, the Iron Dames are prepared to take on the challenge, determined to make their mark and continue their journey toward reshaping the future of motorsport.
