GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • The FIA WEC’s new docuseries ‘Beyond the Track’ promises unfiltered access to paddock personalities, and factory Porsche driver MICHELLE GATTING delivers exactly that with brutally honest commentary about her Iron Dames teammates. The Danish racer doesn’t hold back, admitting “I wanted to kill her because she drives me crazy” about one colleague while crediting the pioneering all-female outfit with “changing her life.”
  • This ten-episode series filmed over seven months gives us the behind-the-scenes content we’ve been craving, focusing on the human stories rather than just the hardware. From Texas rancher Ben Keating’s amateur racing passion to BMW’s RenĂ© Rast sharing his fountain of youth secrets, the docuseries promises to show the full emotional spectrum of endurance racing where teams become families during weeks away from home.
  • The Iron Dames episode drops January 28th alongside Porsche coverage, giving us prime positioning to see how the trailblazing women’s team really operates when cameras capture their unguarded moments. With unprecedented garage access and no corporate filter, we’re finally getting the raw, authentic storytelling that shows these aren’t just feel-good diversity initiatives—they’re serious competitors dealing with real team dynamics and pressure.
