After the summer break, the Iron Dames return to competition for one of the most intense weekends of the year. At Spa-Francorchamps, the all-female team resumes its European Le Mans Series and Michelin Le Mans Cup programmes. A week later, in the Netherlands, Doriane Pin continues her fight at the top of the F1 Academy standings with Round 5 at Zandvoort.

The Iron Dames return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the seventh year in a row, writing yet another chapter in their trailblazing story as the only all-female line-up among the 62 teams entered in the most iconic endurance race in the world.

From the European Le Mans Series and Michelin Le Mans Cup at Paul Ricard to the IAME Euro Series at Franciacorta Karting Track and from F1 Academy in Miami to Rallye Castine in the French Gravel Rally Championship, there the Iron Dames were centre stage in a wide range of motorsport disciplines around the world.

After last year’s title treble, Manthey EMA goes into the 2024 DTM season with another strong driver line-up. The Porsche team is out to repeat its success in the Team, Driver and Manufacturer competitions with champion Thomas Preining (Austria) and Turkish newcomer Ayhancan Güven. Preining will be at the wheel of the 550-hp Porsche 911 GT3 R with the start number 91, which sports the famous Grello design, while Güven will drive the bright green number 90 car in his first season with Manthey EMA.

Thomas Preining made history in Hockenheim. The high-flying Porsche driver became the first DTM champion from Austria in only his second season in the DTM, crowning an impressive year and adding a special chapter to his own CV and that of others around him. The Manthey EMA racer also achieved a historic triumph for Porsche: Preining’s virtuoso effort in 2023 ensured that the trophy cabinet of the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer will include the DTM trophy for the first time.
