Iron Dames took the endurance racing world by storm once again in 2024, contesting some of the most competitive and revered championships including the FIA World Endurance Championship, IMSA Sportscar Championship, European Le Mans Series and Asian Le Mans Series. Among the highlights were two poles and three top-five finishes in WEC, as well as four poles and victory at Imola in ELMS.

The project’s single seater efforts were expanded with Marta García and Doriane Pin competing in the Formula Regional European Championship, while the latter also made her F1 Academy debut and remained a legitimate title threat for much of the season.

History was made in the world of equestrian as Cannes Stars powered by Iron Dames became the first all-female team to win the Global Champions League.

Iron Dames Young Talent continued to support young women at the very start of their motorsport journeys with events like the karting selection programme, nurturing female talent at its very foundations.

The Iron Dames Shop had a physical presence for the very first time at Le Mans, tying in limited edition merchandise for the Every Dream Matters campaign.

In 2025, Iron Dames continued to assert their presence at the highest levels of international motorsport and equestrian sport, further strengthening the project’s mission to empower female talent and inspire the next generation.

One of the season’s standout achievements came from Doriane Pin, who claimed the F1 Academy title, confirming her status as one of the most promising talents of her generation and placing her firmly under the global motorsport spotlight.

In endurance racing, Iron Dames continued to compete among the elite, celebrating victories in the European Le Mans Series and the Michelin Le Mans Cup. More than ever, the project serves as a pathway and a door opener for female drivers aspiring to compete at the very top of the sport. The iconic all-female team once again created a powerful moment at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, capturing attention both on track and beyond, and further reinforcing the project’s growing global visibility, in collaboration with TotalEnergies.

At the same time, the next generation of Iron Dames continued to develop, with young drivers gaining valuable experience across single-seaters, endurance racing and karting, preparing them for the next stages of their careers.

In equestrian sport, Iron Dames riders once again confirmed their place among the world’s elite. Alongside a strong collective season for Cannes Stars powered by Iron Dames, finishing second in the Global Champions League Championship, the riders also shone individually on the international stage, increasingly establishing themselves as national leaders within their respective federations.

Beyond competition, collaborations with institutions such as NASA in Daytona and Austin and Oxford University, on the occasion of International Women in Engineering Day, further expanded the project’s societal impact.  And this is only the beginning.
