GRRL! SUMMARY:
- LAURA VAN DEN HENGEL brings breakthrough credentials after becoming first woman to win GT Sport-sanctioned title with 2025 GT Cup Europe Pro-Am championship, progressing rapidly from karting with limited backing through determination.
- SARAH BOVY transitions from five Le Mans starts and WEC pole position achievement into Silver rating mentor role, leveraging extensive GT3/endurance experience across ELMS, IMSA, and Spa 24 Hours victory.
- Iron Dames deploys Porsche 992 GT3 Cup under invitational regulations with SP Racing/Dinamic operation, facing significant power deficit against purpose-built GT2 machinery at season opener Monza’s high-speed layout.
- Strategic calendar advantage expected at flowing circuits like Spa, Misano, Zandvoort, and Portimão where driver consistency and cornering performance can offset straight-line horsepower disadvantage in record GT2 European Series field.
UPCOMING:
- GT2 European Series Season Opener – Monza – May 31-June 1, 2026
- Sarah Bovy – Spa 24 Hours with Comtoyou Racing – July 2026
