Women driven
by dreams
Not just another team in the race. The Iron Dames project stands for all women willing to go beyond their limits and all women driven by dreams.
Born to
make history
Iron Dames is a special project created and led by Deborah Mayer, entrepreneur, driver, and President of FIA Women in Motorsport Commission (WIM), with the aim of supporting women in motorsport at all levels, from drivers through to mechanics, engineers, managers, and marketing.
Born in 2018, they are the first all-female line up in history to compete in endurance racing, achieving excellent results. Year-after-year, the team is participating in more and more championships, celebrating multiple historic breakthroughs in motorsport – becoming the first females to win many races and championships.
Since its inception, the Iron Dames have been officially supported by the FIA through the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission (WIM).
Now, with the appointment of Deborah Mayer as FIA WIM President, this collaboration is a huge step into building inclusivity for women in motorsport, both behind the wheel and in management roles.
We are the
Iron Dames.
Iron, from the name Iron Lynx from which the project stems, and perfectly fitting strong, powerful women, able to fight in such a hard field as motorsport. And Dames, a fancy word for women.
Dames who don’t need knights.
Women Driven by Dreams. Because every woman can reach her goals, when fuelled by hard work, resilience, and passion. Just like our team.
#BEANIRONDAME, the Iron Dames’ hashtag. A motto that crosses the boundaries of motorsport and invites everyone to follow the road that leads to her dreams. Every woman can be an Iron Dame. Whatever the dream, if you work hard and do your best, you can make it come true.

Web series
The Iron Dames are the stars of a web series – called “Racing Beyond Limits” – about their life, emotions, and results. Personal stories, moments stolen from the pits, snippets of everyday life and the adrenaline of the track: 6 episodes to tell the story of a project that continues to tour the world.
Rocking
the world
The Iron Dames project has a powerful story to tell that allows it to go beyond the standard motorsport offline and online press and gain the attention of a wider international audience.
A notoriety amplified by race victories and the #racetoinspire campaign.
