LAURA VAN DEN HENGEL and SARAH BOVY Score Points at Monza GT2 Debut

June 2, 2026

• LAURA VAN DEN HENGEL delivered a spectacular Race 1 opening lap, gaining ten positions to lead ProAm before expertly defending against faster GT2 machinery. The 2025 GT Cup Europe ProAm champion impressed on her series debut.
• SARAH BOVY showcased her WEC and ELMS experience with smart race management, executing a breathtaking outside pass at Parabolica and navigating chaos including grass excursions to secure sixth in Race 1 ProAm standings.
• Despite competing in an invitational Porsche 992 GT3 Cup losing 1.5 seconds per sector against homologated GT2 cars, the Iron Dames pairing maximized their package through consistency, scoring valuable ProAm points both races.
• VAN DEN HENGEL matched BOVY’s pace by thousandths in Race 2, running low 1:50s while recovering from a 15-second pit stop issue to overtake on the final lap for seventh ProAm, showcasing rapid development.
• The all-female Iron Dames programme returns to international GT competition with power-circuit disadvantages expected to diminish at upcoming Spa-Francorchamps, Misano, Zandvoort and Portimão rounds where podium fights loom realistic.
