Description Available in: Iron Dames is a special Iron Lynx project created and led by Deborah Mayer, with the goal of supporting women in motorsport.
Founded by former racer and entrepreneur Deborah Mayer in 2018, the Iron Dames set out to ease women’s barriers to entry into a sport which has, since its inception, been populated almost entirely by men—many of whom were introduced to motorsports by their fathers. As it turns out, those fathers have daughters too.
The Iron Dames team of Michelle Gatting, Sarah Bovy and Rahel Frey has claimed the first ever all-female World Endurance Championship victory at the season-ending 8 Hours of Bahrain, more than a decade after the series was established.
