Van der Steur Racing has a long history in the IMSA paddock, competing for over twenty years, most recently in the GS class of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge. In 2025, the team will step up to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with the No. 19 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo in the GTD class, driven by Rory van der Steur and Valentin Hasse-Clot. With technical and engineering support from Aston Martin Racing and Prodrive, the team aims to compete in all IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup events. Hasse-Clot, an Aston Martin factory driver, had success in the 2024 Michelin Pilot Challenge, finishing in the top four with Rory van der Steur. The Iron Dames program, known for its all-female lineup, will drive a Porsche 911 GT3 R for the 2025 season, seeking greater reliability and consistency after a challenging 2024 season with the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2. Led by Rahel Frey, Michelle Gatting, and Sarah Bovy, the team looks forward to the new partnership with Porsche after a historic victory in the FIA World Endurance Championship finale in 2023.
