Iron Dames

We are Iron Dames. Women Driven by Dreams.

Founded in 2018 by Deborah Mayer, Iron Dames is a groundbreaking project that empowers women to compete on equal terms with men in mixed-gender fields. The project made its beginnings in motorsport, becoming the first all-female line-up to win an FIA World Endurance Championship race in 2023. It has since expanded to a 16-driver line-up, contesting a range of disciplines including single seaters, rallying and karting.

The project is developing year-on-year, with Iron Dames Young Talents nurturing the next generation of female racers in grassroots motorsport and the expansion in equestrian with 12 top riders competing in the prestigious Longines Global Champions’ League. In 2024, the team’s core values took on new significance with the educational and inspirational ‘Meet the Iron Dames’ and ‘Every Dream Matters’ initiatives.

“Women driven by dreams”: the Iron Dames motto applies to all women who break down barriers and go beyond their limits.
