Breaking Into GT3: The Iron Dames Opportunity

THE RACER

Célia Martin’s professional motorsport journey took off when she relocated to Germany to chase her dream of racing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Within just one year, her talent was recognized, and she earned a seat with Jaguar Germany in the FIA I-Pace eTrophy - the official support series to the Formula E World Championship.

As a complete rookie in electric touring cars, Célia impressed with five podiums in her debut season and secured 4th place in the Pro-Am category.
 
Her story proves that with skill, determination, and the right opportunities, women can break into professional motorsport - even without significant financial backing.

Rising Through the Ranks: From TCR to GT4

Célia’s next chapter began with a driver shootout for GirlsOnly Racing, where she earned her seat by outperforming competitors in a VW Golf TCR.

Just two races later, she claimed her first career victory in the final round of the 2019 season.

Over the following 4 years, she consistently delivered podiums with the team and tackled the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in extreme weather conditions.

End of 2022, she was offered the chance to compete in the very competitive ADAC GT4 Germany championship for 2023.
