• SOPHIA FLOERSCH made a surprise appearance at the ELMS Collective Test with Algarve Pro Racing, as the Portuguese team works to bring the German driver back to the series where she secured two LMP2 podiums in 2021 and 2022. The unexpected test session signals a potential return for one of the most recognizable names in women’s endurance racing.
• MARTA GARCIA is back in action for the Michelin Le Mans Cup after her massive crash in the season opener, where contact from behind sent the Spanish single-seater ace into the wall while she was leading the race. She’ll rejoin VANINA ICKX in the Iron Dames Porsche – a completely new car since less than 10% of the Barcelona crash wreckage was salvageable.
• The Le Castellet weekend showcases the depth of women’s participation across multiple series, with the Iron Dames continuing their GT3 campaign in the Michelin Le Mans Cup while Floersch explores options for an ELMS comeback. Both drivers represent the resilience and determination that define women’s endurance racing.
