Iron Dames driver Doriane Pin will be out of action for the Le Mans 24 Hours in the 2024 World Endurance Championship after being diagnosed with fractured ribs.
Pin had withdrawn from the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine's second Spa-Francorchamps race last weekend after feeling some discomfort. The Frenchwoman has now posted a video on social media announcing that she will be unable to race at Le Mans, where she should have shared the Iron Dames' #85 Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo 2 in the WEC's LMGT3 class with team-mates Sarah Bovy and Michelle Gatting She will also sit out the next FRECA round at Zandvoort on 8-9 June.
'I was looking forward to driving there and sharing that week with all of you and, of course, my team. But I need to do what is best for myself and the Iron Dames.' Rahel Frey will stand in for Pin at Circuit de la Sarthe, with the Swiss veteran having already raced there with Iron Lynx/Iron Dames alongside Bovy and Gatting in previous years, achieving a best result of fourth in the LMGTE Am category in 2023.
