The Iron Dames are set to make their mark once again at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, continuing their legacy of motorsport excellence. Following their notable appearances in previous years, including a spectacular run up the iconic 1.86-kilometre Hill, the team is gearing up for the 2024 edition with an impressive lineup of vehicles and drivers.
This year, the spotlight will be on the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo 2, as drivers Célia Martin and Karen Gaillard take on the challenging Hill climb. The duo, known for their stellar performance in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, have already secured pole positions and podium finishes in 2024, most recently showcasing their skills at the Road to Le Mans event at Circuit de la Sarthe.
In addition to their Lamborghini entry, the Iron Dames will debut in the Forest Rally Stage with Sarah Rumeau and Julie Amblard behind the wheel of the Ford Fiesta Rally2. This marks their inaugural appearance at the Goodwood Festival, adding a thrilling dimension to the event with their participation in the French Rally Championship.
The 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, themed ‘Horseless to Hybrid: Revolutions in Power’, commemorates 130 years since the inception of the world’s first motor race. The vehicles chosen by the Iron Dames symbolize the evolution of automotive technology, with the turbocharged Ford Fiesta and the V10 Lamborghini Huracán exemplifying significant advancements in both road and track performance.
The Iron Dames project itself embodies the spirit of innovation and progress, aligning perfectly with the festival’s ethos of celebrating automotive evolution while honoring the pioneers who paved the way. Their participation underscores their commitment to pushing boundaries and setting new benchmarks in motorsport.
