Iron Dames gone from WEC and their statement on it is full of em-dashes and illegible "hand"writing oh god I hate that this is how they went out

At least the young drivers are still getting funding, I am hoping the drivers all find good places to go

Unfortunately once again a tough pill to swallow results wise, but everyone involved gave it everything they could all season. I am proud of everyone involved in the Iron Dames, as always really. Hoping next year continues as it sounds, with added luck. #WEC #8Bahrain #IronDames

Asked the Iron Dames team about the reports they'd only race in WEC next year. Here's what they said.

On @onlyendurance.com now: www.onlyendurance.com/iron-dames-f...
Iron Dames: 'Fully committed' to 'long term vision'
Amid reports the Iron Dames programme could be scaled back, the team say their commitment to their females in motorsport vision is unchanged.

Well, it wasn’t the victory we all wanted but we can all be very proud of the podium the team just earned. Everyone gave it their all, they drove their hearts out. Proud of everyone involved in the Iron Dames once again.

Onto Bahrain.

Very solid from everyone involved, the penalty did happen but both drivers drove incredibly today.

Thanks to Proton Huber Competition for being a brilliant service provider in the Le Mans Cup this year. #LMC #PortimaoRound #IronDames

The end result is very tough to take, however the Iron Dames have fought valiantly today and I am immensely proud of all 3 drivers. Thank you to the community for enjoying the race with me once again, the YouTube chat was fun again. #WEC #WEC100 #6HFuji #IronDames

It might not have been the result we wanted. However, it was still a brilliant day.

Just a bunch of Iron Dames fans hanging out. #ELMS #4HSilverstone #IronDames

Not the result us Iron Dames fans were hoping for, but it was truly great to have ACO rules racing back in the UK.

I am proud to have seen the Iron Dames do so well on Saturday, as well as meeting everyone I’ve met this weekend. #ELMS #4HSilverstone #IronDames

Well, for a brief moment early in the race we looked good. We showed grit and determination worthy of the title Iron Dames.

Losing pace after every restart was tough, then of course the overheating began. #WEC #6HCOTA #IronDames

It’s hard not to be disappointed with the race result, but the championship is well and truly back on as we are only 1 point behind.

Bring on Silverstone, hopefully everything goes better there and we can take the championship by the horns. #ELMS #4HSpa #IronDames

This will effect the spending of my favourite team going forward, a 40 million black hole is not good. (The German article I saw a month or so ago was right sadly)

Very happy with that podium for the Le Mans Cup crew, that was a fine comeback after illness for Vanina. #LMC #ELMS #SpaRound #4HSpa #IronDames

Well, what would’ve been is the story of the day. However, I am very proud of everyone involved for what has been a truly incredible day. Thank you to everyone at Manthey for the operational genius today, that was awesome. #WEC #6HSaoPaolo #IronDames

I’m absolutely delighted with that qualifying session, proud of everyone involved. 7th place on the grid is actually a decent start here, we are moving forward on qualifying pace. #WEC #6HSaoPaulo #IronDames

To say I’m gutted is an understatement, damage limitation was never meant to be this hard but alas it just wasn’t meant to be.

Proud of everyone involved as always, hopefully at Spa we can take the championship lead back and press on. #ELMS #4HImola #IronDames

Michelle Gatting will be back at the wheel for the Iron Dames this weekend at Imola, she has been declared fit.

As she’s still on crutches, it’s best to have modest expectations. However it’s fantastic news none the less. 🙏🏻 #ELMS #4HImola #IronDames

What the fuck? I used to be a fan of Nordschleife stewarding, but it seems having the star driver in the star team on the grid is more important than the rules that exist to save lives...
Mirko Bortolotti is handed a *suspended* ban from competition at the Nordschleife. The No. 27 Red Bull Lambo will start at the back of Starting Group 1. He was speeding through nine Red Flags during Top Qualifying, but according to the stewards "no dangerous situation was determined".

Well, it wasn’t the result we all wanted. It wasn’t the result we were all expecting but, the Iron Dames as always dug deep and never ever gave up. The 100% Le Mans finishing record is at least intact. 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. #WEC #LeMans24 #IronDames
