In a context where female participation in the DTM has been hidden since 2022, the possibility of a woman, Doriane Pin, returning to occupy a cockpit in the competition is gaining traction. The young French driver, at only 22 years old, showcased her potential in tests conducted with the Mercedes-AMG GT3 in Le Castellet at the end of October.
Doriane Pin, who won the F1 Academy title in 2025, has been testing the vehicle under the supervision of teams like Winward, demonstrating competitive pace that has caught attention. Her progressive career has led her to be considered to develop as a Mercedes driver in Formula 1 from 2026, a path she combines with her experience with the Iron Dames team in GT competitions.
Relevant tests for the DTM
Recently, Pin has returned to the Mercedes-AMG GT3 in new tests being held at the Hockenheimring. These sessions, in which Pirelli tire tests are conducted, have become vital for her adaptation to the conditions of the DTM, a format that often includes tests with non-heating tires.
A promising future in the DTM
Pin’s presence in these tests suggests that her integration into the DTM is not just a remote possibility. Although Lucas Auer seems confirmed for 2027, the uncertainty about who will occupy the other cockpit creates an opportunity for the French driver. Her recent performance and experience could be decisive for becoming part of the Landgraf DTM team.
With an impressive profile that includes victories in the Ferrari Challenge Europe and a third place in the WEC with Prema, where she received praise for her maturity and speed, Doriane appears ready to take a significant step within the motorsport world.
