GRRL! SUMMARY:
- The Iron Dames—Sarah Bovy, Rahel Frey, and Michelle Gatting—fought fiercely in the LMGTE Am class at the historic 24 Hours of Le Mans, leading much of the race before a late brake change dropped them to a heartbreaking fourth place—still their best-ever Le Mans finish.
- 19-year-old Doriane Pin’s Le Mans debut in LMP2 ended in disappointment after her team’s Oreca #63 was forced to retire due to crash damage, but she impressed with a strong comeback drive in challenging weather conditions.
- Despite the setbacks, the Iron Dames remain determined, with team members expressing pride in their effort and vowing to return stronger for Monza and beyond, continuing to break barriers for women in motorsport.
UPCOMING:
- Next race in Monza in a month.
