Vicky Farfus, daughter of Augusto, and Mia Oger join the Iron Dames

The Iron Dames program continues to grow with two new recruits: Brazilian Vicky Farfus and French Mia Oger, both 12 years old.

Their arrival in Deborah Mayer's structure follows the recruitment of the Spaniard Natalia Granada in 2023 who opened the project to karting. Farfus and Oger were able to prove themselves during a selection of 12 young female drivers from around the world organized in Aragon (Spain) last December.

Vicky Farfus, daughter of BMW driver Augusto Farfus, took her first steps in karting at the age of 11 and started racing in March 2023, immediately at international level. She notably finished third in a go-kart race in the cadet category in Granja Viana, Brazil.

Mia Oger first experienced karting at age seven and began competing at age eight. She finished best female at the IAME World Finals in 2022.

The two youngest Iron Dames will benefit from an extensive testing program and will wear the team's colors on the international karting scene in the ROK and WSK championships. At the same time, Farfus will participate in the Champions of the Future series, while Oger will ride in France.
