24h Le Mans
The Iron Dames are shaping up for their seventh successive appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3 driven by the only all-female line-up on the grid will sport a brand new livery for the 93rd running of the French endurance classic (11-15 June 2025).
Sponsored by TotalEnergies, the Iron Dames are launching the next episode of their adventure under the slogan Powering Your Dreams.
After causing a sensation in 2024 with a paint scheme inspired by local schoolchildren’s dreams, the Iron Dames are back this year with a new decoration that carries this vision forward. The 2025 Powering Your Dreams design is as symbolic and it is eye-catching. Each line and each colour reflect the values underpinning the team’s mindset: passion, determination, discipline, commitment and energy.
The result is an ode to daring the impossible and a visual incarnation of a dream coming true.
The crew of the Porsche 911 GT3 R LMGT3 is perfectly in tune with this message. Porsche has recently promoted Michelle Gatting to become a contracted driver. She brings speed, consistency and unerring concentration. Rahel Frey is a GT veteran. She boasts two decades of motorsport experience, including seven 24 Hours of Le Mans starts. Célia Martin, on the other hand, is a Le Mans rookie who has quickly climbed the GT ranks. Together, they form a trio ready to challenge the best and aim for a historic performance in the highly competitive LMGT3 class.
The Iron Dames hope to bring fans and communities onboard this initiative via a store in the Race Village that will stock the Powering Your Dreams lifestyle collection, interactive experiences, surprises for fans, content and stories highlighting true accounts of ambition, resilience and success.
Michelle Gatting: We are racing with the team [Manthey Racing] that dominated 24h of Le Mans last year. Obviously we know the task won’t be easy, it never is, and therefore we have to be extra strong, work extra hard to achieve a good result.
Célia Martin: We’re sending a message that goes beyond racing: ambition, inclusion, and determination. We’re proving that motorsport can be a force for change, empowering the next generation to chase their dreams, on and off track. And I am proud to share this adventure with my two experienced teammates Michelle and Rahel.
The Iron Dames currently lie in 16th place in the chase for the FIA Endurance Trophy for LMGT3 Teams.
