Frey competed in the LMGT1 category of 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans. She shared No. 61 Matech Competition Ford GT with fellow Swiss female drivers Natacha Gachnang and Cyndie Allemann. All three participating Fords were forced to retire from the race. Frey then joined the Audi DTM squad and replaced Katherine Legge in 2011. She then decided that she did not wish to carry on with her DTM career and left at the start of the 2013 season.
