CELIA MARTIN Crashes Iron Dames Porsche in Red Flag Incident at Bahrain WEC

November 7, 2025

• CELIA MARTIN brought out the first significant red flag of the Bahrain WEC weekend when her Iron Dames Porsche went nose-first into the barriers at Turn 2’s exit, forcing a nine-minute session extension as marshals cleared the track.
• The French driver managed to return to the pits under her own power despite the impact, suggesting the damage wasn’t catastrophic—good news for the all-female Iron Dames squad heading into the crucial qualifying sessions that determine grid position for the season finale.
• While MARTIN dealt with barrier contact, the LMGT3 field remained competitive with Iron Lynx’s Martin Berry setting the session’s fastest time at 2:03.158, though still off Finn Gehrsitz’s weekend benchmark as teams focused on data gathering rather than outright pace in the midday heat.
