MICHELLE GATTING Eyes Factory Porsche Rides Beyond Iron Dames in 2025

• MICHELLE GATTING is leveraging her new Porsche contract to secure drives beyond Iron Dames, with “pick and choose” events in Porsche 911 GT3 R machinery lined up for later this year. The Danish driver isn’t abandoning the all-female initiative but expanding her horizons as part of her manufacturer deal.
• Her strategy is refreshingly honest about skill development – she wants seat time with male Porsche factory drivers to “learn as much as possible” and make that “extra step” by comparing herself against faster competition. It’s the kind of direct approach to improvement that shows she’s serious about reaching the top level.
• GATTING has her sights set on marquee events including the Bathurst 12 Hour (she was already pushing for this year’s race) and the Nürburgring 24 Hours. While “small things” are confirmed for 2025, she’s working toward a more defined program for 2026 that balances Iron Dames commitments with broader Porsche opportunities.
