CELIA MARTIN Crash Halts Bahrain Practice as Iron Dames Battle Back

November 7, 2025

• CELIA MARTIN’s Turn 3 accident in the Iron Dames Porsche brought out a red flag just eight minutes into the session, causing a ten-minute stoppage that extended the practice by nine minutes. The crash scattered debris across the circuit and required a full course yellow to clear the track safely.
• The Iron Dames squad proved their resilience by getting MARTIN’s damaged Porsche back on track later in the session. Despite the early setback and lost track time, the team managed to post the 11th-fastest time in LMGT3, showing they’re not letting one incident derail their weekend in Bahrain.
• While MARTIN dealt with her crash recovery, the LMGT3 class saw Martin Berry top the timesheets in the Iron Lynx Mercedes with a 2:03.158 lap. The session’s drama didn’t end there – two cars picked up penalties for red flag procedure violations, adding another layer of consequence to MARTIN’s incident.
