Iron Dames CÉLIA MARTIN, RAHEL FREY & MICHELLE GATTING Just Miss Podium in Brazil

July 14, 2025

• The Iron Dames delivered their breakthrough WEC performance in Brazil, with CÉLIA MARTIN, RAHEL FREY, and MICHELLE GATTING claiming fourth in LMGT3 – their best result yet. The trio made their first-ever Hyperpole appearance before leading long stretches of the race with fastest lap times. They held a podium position until just three minutes before the checkered flag, when an Aston Martin slipped past.
• All three drivers showcased impressive racecraft throughout the six-hour endurance test, engaging in numerous position battles while demonstrating the fighting spirit that’s made Iron Dames a standout initiative. FREY praised the “incredible fun” of driving the perfectly-prepared Porsche 911 GT3 R, though admitted the near-miss podium felt “bittersweet” after coming so close to that elusive first WEC trophy.
• The result validates Iron Dames’ closer partnership with Porsche Motorsport this season and proves their competitiveness at the sport’s highest level. While they narrowly missed making history with a podium, this performance establishes them as serious contenders who can run with the best in LMGT3 – exactly what we’ve been waiting to see from this talented lineup.
