GRRL! SUMMARY:
- Bulgarian racer ALEXANDRA VATEVA becomes the fourth driver in Iron Dames’ “Supported by Iron Dames” program, joining a talent incubator that’s proving women can compete and win at motorsport’s highest levels. The 21-year-old calls the opportunity “a dream come true” as she gains access to resources and visibility that will accelerate her career trajectory in the ultra-competitive Porsche racing ecosystem.
- VATEVA has been crushing it across multiple Porsche series, advancing from GT4 to piloting a 911 GT3 Cup with multiple podium finishes in 2024. Her breakout moment came at Spa-Francorchamps in the Sprint Challenge Benelux, where she claimed class victory in both races and won an overall battle in race two – the kind of performance that separates genuine talent from weekend warriors.
- The Bulgarian driver made history as the first woman to compete in Porsche Cup Middle East, immediately securing multiple class podiums and overall top-five finishes with Lechner Racing. She’s now battling in the top ten overall in Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux while fighting for rookie podiums – exactly the kind of dual-threat performance that catches Iron Dames’ attention.
