Karting has always been the proving ground of motorsport. It is where raw talent first reveals itself. But talent is only meaningful if it is exposed properly.

In the first weekend of September, the Iron Dames were in action across the motorsport world. At the Circuit of the Americas, Rahel Frey, Michelle Gatting, and Célia Martin returned to the cockpit for the fifth round of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship, Lone Star Le Mans, while in Europe, Sarah Rumeau and Julie Amblard took on Mont Blanc in the French Rally Championship. Elsewhere, in Kristianstad, Sweden, Angelina Simons and Luna Fluxa returned to the Champions of the Future grid for a busy weekend of wheel-to-wheel karting action.

The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team is delighted to announce its Junior Programme line-up for 2025. This year, the programme expands to include twelve talented young drivers, competing across various categories from karting to FIA Formula 3.

Iron Dames, the trailblazing all-female racing project, proudly announces its expanded 2025 programme, featuring an unprecedented line-up of 16 drivers competing across the globe. This milestone marks a significant evolution of the Iron Dames initiative, highlighting a reinforced commitment to nurturing talent, promoting diversity, and setting new standards of professionalism in motorsport.
