Iron Dames Exit WEC After Historic 5-Season Run Despite BOVY, GATTING, FREY Win

November 27, 2025

• After five groundbreaking seasons, Iron Dames announces their exit from WEC amid parent company DC Racing Solutions’ rumored financial troubles. The all-female squad made history in 2023 when SARAH BOVY, MICHELLE GATTING, and RAHEL FREY became the first all-female lineup to win an FIA WEC race at Bahrain, proving once and for all that talent doesn’t have a gender checkbox.
• The team’s journey from their 2021 Ferrari debut through their Porsche switch showcased consistent evolution and impressive results, including a fourth-place finish at Le Mans in 2023 – their best result to date. While we won’t see their bright pink Porsche next season, the team hints at future racing plans that will “keep inspiring” and continue building their movement beyond just one championship.
• Though Iron Dames steps back, sister team Iron Lynx is expected to continue with Mercedes-AMG, suggesting the broader racing organization will maintain its WEC presence. The team’s statement emphasizes this isn’t an ending but “the next step forward” – and honestly, after reshaping the narrative for five years straight, we’re here for whatever they’re cooking up next.
