• VANINA ICKX’s health issue forces the Iron Dames pairing with MARTA GARCÍA to withdraw from the prestigious Road to Le Mans round, a disappointing setback for the duo who’ve been building momentum in their Porsche 911 GT3 R campaign after early season drama.
• GARCÍA has been on a tear lately, transitioning from F1 Academy champion to sports car standout with immediate victories at Spa and Portimão in the Ligier European Series before earning her GT3 promotion – proving she belongs at every level she touches.
• The partnership pairs veteran expertise with rising talent perfectly: ICKX brings seven Le Mans starts and remains the last woman to race in the event’s top class, while GARCÍA showed serious fight at Paul Ricard, bringing home fourth despite driving a damaged car after early contact cost them a penalty.
