FIA World Endurance championship and the 24 hours of Le mans

Globally, there is probably no single motorsport event with a higher reputation than the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most important race in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). First held in 1923, it is not only one of the oldest motorsport events in the world, but has also produced countless dramas and unforgettable winners and losers over the years.

After Manthey was responsible for Porsche's GT works entries in the LMGTE class of the FIA WEC from 2013 to 2022, the team competed in the new LMGT3 class in 2024 with two Porsche 911 GT3 R, finishing as double championship leaders. Together with the Iron Dames and 1st Phorm, Manthey will compete in the World Championship again in 2025.

Iron Dames #85

• Rahel Frey (CH)
• Michelle Gatting (DK)
• Célia Martin (FR)

The Iron Dames, who are known for their commitment to women in motorsport and beyond, and Manthey join forces for the entry of car number 85. The all-female driver line-up consists of Rahel Frey (Switzerland), Michelle Gatting (Denmark) and the new bronze driver Célia Martin (France). While Frey and Gatting have been successful together in the WEC and other racing series, Martin proved her mettle in the past Michelin Le Mans Cup season for the Iron Dames and, among others, a GT4 class win at the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring.

Manthey 1st Phorm #92

• Ryan Hardwick (US)
• Richard Lietz (AT)
• Riccardo Pera (IT)

The Porsche 911 GT3 R with starting number 92 from Manthey 1st Phorm is piloted by the driver trio of Ryan Hardwick (USA), Richard Lietz (Austria) and Riccardo Pera (Italy) in the 2025 season. Experienced Porsche works driver Lietz returns to the Manthey cockpit after a successful 2024 season in the WEC, which included a victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. At his side is American Ryan Hardwick, who has already celebrated successes in both the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) and the 24 Hours of Daytona. Pera, who previously attracted attention in both the ELMS and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, completes the trio. The team has already competed together in the Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS).
