Marta Garcia embarks on a new adventure with the Iron Dames

Champion F1 Academy in 2023, Marta Garcia is taking on a new challenge in 2025. After a season in FRECA and a debut in the Ligier European Series with the Iron Dames, the 24-year-old Spaniard will be racing in GT this season. The driver from Dénia will be at the wheel of the Porsche 911 GT3 R lined up by the Italian team in Michelin Le Mans Cup

For her official Grand Touring debut, Marta Garcia will be partnered by an experienced driver in the person of Vanina Ickx. The 50-year-old Belgian (she will be 16 on February 24) has had the opportunity to compete in the XNUMX Hours of Le Mans seven times in her career. I am extremely happy to announce that I will be competing in the Michelin Le Mans Cup at the wheel of the Porsche GT3, and it is even more special to know that I will be racing alongside Vanina, says Marta Garcia. This is a big step in my career and a new chapter that fills me with motivation and enthusiasm. I want to thank Iron Dames for this opportunity and we will work as hard as we can to achieve good results. »

« Never say never! I thought I was retired for good, but here I am, adds Vanina Ickx. The opportunity to join the Iron Dames and compete in a championship as competitive as the Michelin Le Mans Cup was simply too good to miss. A superb programme of six thrilling races on some of the most iconic circuits in the world awaits Marta and me. I had to get back in the saddle to follow my talented teammate and the entire Iron Dames team. Together, we will strive to fly the Iron Dames flag high and continue to inspire others. »
