Speaking after the race, Gatting said: “I just enjoyed the last ride in this car. It's been an absolute pleasure having the opportunity to drive the Porsche this year and finally getting this win.
“It's been something we wanted to achieve for a long time and finally to get it for the last race, it's something that is quite emotional for all of us.
“I'm very proud of the whole team of this project. This is exactly what we want to achieve and we want to prove that we can compete on exactly the same level as everybody else and we are here to win races.”
Bovy added: “I'm so proud of everybody. We have been working really hard for this and it's finally there and I think the way was long but we are super happy to be here tonight.
Meanwhile Frey was philosophical in the aftermath of their success: “To see that we can win races with the Iron Dames on the highest level of GT racing makes me very proud.
“I keep passing my experience to the younger generation, there are younger Iron Dames coming up. This is also something that we focus on for the future.”
