May 30, 2026

• 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.
