Promoted to Silver, Sarah Bovy will no longer be part of the crew, but should participate in other championships with the Iron Dames. The Belgian is replaced in the role of Bronze by Célia Martin.

« When I started my journey in motorsport, I always hoped that one day I would be able to compete in high-level GT and endurance racing, rejoices Célia Martin. If you asked me what my ultimate dream was, it would be this: the FIA WEC, Iron Dames and to top it all off, Manthey Racing. This is truly a dream come true. I can’t thank Iron Dames enough for this opportunity and I can’t wait for the season to start. »
The Tricolore will be accompanied by two regulars of the Iron Dames program: the Danish Michelle Gatting and the Swiss Rahel Frey, who continue the adventure. The trio will also line up at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
« We are proud to partner with the Iron Dames in WEC next year, says Nicolas Raeder, Managing Director of Mnathey Racing GmbH. We have always admired the project and have had many exciting but fair duels with them on the track in the past. We are convinced that this is a great opportunity to develop together and reach a new level thanks to our experience in endurance racing and the tireless efforts of the Iron Dames. We are looking forward to the 2025 season and the opportunity to bring a Porsche in pink to the starting grid. »
