Women's History Month and the first F1 Academy race week is here, so I thought it's the perfect time to post my drawing of Doriane "Pocket Rocket" Pin! 🥰 (from my twitter 🫶 https://x.com/chiliconlando/status/1764406052026560938?s=46)
9 Women are competing in the 24H of Daytona next weekend.
#83 (GTD) - Iron Dames: Doriane Pin, Rahel Frey, Sarah Bovy & Michelle Gatting
#66 (GTD) - Sheena Monk, Katherine Legge & Tatiana Calderón
#45 (GTD) - Ashton Harrison
#88 (LMP2) - Lilou Wadoux
This weekend we can already see a preview of what's about to go on with the roar before the 24. Practice has been going on since yesterday, where Katherine Legge topped the times in GTD during the second session.
Today practice continues and tomorrow Qualifying takes places. We won't see Doriane Pin until next week as she competes in F4 UAE this weekend.
The Daytona 24H is free to watch on IMSA.TV and in the US you can watch the race on Peacock
Also of note Taylor Hagler will be competing in the Michelin Pilot Challenge race. A series she is already a two time champion in.
iron.dames: We believe that today not many words are needed...
P4 still gives us our best @24heuresdumans finish, and we are proud of the incredible dedication of everyone on our team.
Starting outside the Top 10 to leading the race and battling for the win inside the Top 3 just shows the effort we’ve all put into this race.
This might not be a victory, but how the team managed the race itself signifies more than a trophy or a title: it exemplifies the profound team spirit of never giving up.
