• SARAH BOVY took the wheel of the Iron Dames’ 565 PS Porsche 911 GT3 R for the Goodwood Timed Shootout, backed by Porsche Carrera Cup France Junior KAREN GAILLARD. The all-female team continues building momentum after their seventh consecutive Le Mans appearance in June, where they remained the only all-female lineup among 62 teams in the world’s most prestigious endurance race.
• GABRIELA JÍLKOVÁ, Porsche’s Formula E development driver, was entrusted with piloting a camouflaged prototype of the upcoming Cayenne Electric up the famous Goodwood Hill.
