Iron Dame Doriane Pin selected by FIA WEC for the Rookie Test in Bahrain
We are delighted to announce that Doriane Pin has been selected by FIA WEC as one of the four drivers that will take part in the post-season Rookie Test in Bahrain.
Doriane has impressed both ourselves and the FIA WEC team with her performances as part of the Iron Dames project this year, and will get the chance to test this year’s championship-winning LMP2 car on the Sunday after the final round of the season.
The whole team congratulates Doriane on this great opportunity. We would also like to thank FIA WEC for giving young drivers such a fantastic chance to grow their careers in endurance racing.
Doriane Pin said: “I’m delighted that as part of the Iron Dames I have been selected by FIA WEC to test an LMP2 car at the end of the season in Bahrain for the Rookie Test.
“So far it has been a great season for me and I’m very excited to try out a car I’ve never driven before.
“It is really important to demonstrate to young women like me that they can have a career in motorsport, and that if you have a dream and are prepared to work hard, your dreams can come true.
“The LMP2 car is a completely different beast to the GT cars I’ve driven so far! And it is vital for young talent to gain as much experience of different types of race cars. I am very grateful to FIA WEC and would like to thank them for this opportunity!”
