The Iron Dames female talent development project has named its full roster of drivers for the 2024 season, which includes six drivers dedicated to sportscar racing programmes in the WEC, ELMS, IMSA and Le Mans Cup.
In the FIA WEC, Sarah Bovy, Michelle Gatting and Doriane Pin will compete in LMGT3. Bovy and Gatting will also take part in the ELMS and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship along with Rahel Frey.
Meanwhile, in the ELMS-supporting Le Mans Cup, Celia Martin and Karen Gillard will share a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO II.
Beyond sportscar racing, Sarah Rumeau and Julie Amblard will compete in the French Rally and Gravel Rally Championships, while Natalia Granada will race in the IAME Euroseries and Spanish CEV motorcycle racing championships.
Doriane Pin will also compete in the all-female F1 Academy single-seater series alongside her WEC commitments.
In total 17 Iron Dames will compete worldwide this year, with nine in motorsport and eight in the project’s new equestrian programme, fielding the only 100% all-female team in the prestigious Longines Global Champions League.
“2024 marks a significant milestone in the development of our project with the opening of new horizons and the arrival of new athletes as Iron Dames,” said Deborah Mayer, the founder of Iron Dames.
“The diversity and quality of the lines-up symbolise our commitment to uniting women in various disciplines under a common banner of excellence. The Iron Dames project is not just about racing; it’s about creating opportunities and inspiring every individual, regardless of gender, to believe in their dreams. Our success has been a testament to the power of passion, hard work, and determination.
“We are thrilled to kick off the 2024 season. I wish all the Iron Dames the best of luck and success, I firmly believe that there are no barriers that cannot be overcome and no dreams that we cannot achieve together.”
