Iron Dames, the innovative project from championship winning motorsport squad, Iron Lynx, has signed a further two exciting drivers to compete in the 2021 season.
In addition to the new driver signings, Iron Lynx has shuffled its driver line-up in its World Endurance Championship (WEC) and European Le Mans Series (ELMS) entries. Katherine Legge will now switch to compete in the WEC alongside Manuela Gostner and Rahel Frey. Meanwhile Michelle Gatting will join Esmee Hawkey and Rahel Frey for the ELMS.
With Manuela’s moving programmes to support Doriane Pin in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, Iron Dames has recruited 23-year old British driver Emsee Hawkey to compete in the European Le Mans Series which races on the same dates, adding further strength to the experienced line-up.
“We are extremely happy that Doriane and Esmee are joining us,” comments Deborah Mayer, project leader, Iron Dames. “In Iron Lynx, they will be surrounded by a group of amazing and very experienced drivers which are sure to help them integrate and develop further within the GT environment. We are convinced that they can do a great job and I wish all of our drivers good luck for the season.”
