GRRL! SUMMARY:
- JAMIE CHADWICK has been confirmed as reserve driver for Genesis Magma Racing’s ambitious WEC debut in March, joining a six-driver roster that blends experience with youth. While the Korean manufacturer’s lineup features notable transfers like Mathieu Jaminet from Porsche and Paul Loup Chatin from Alpine, Chadwick’s inclusion signals the team’s commitment to developing talent across all levels of their program.
- The team’s approach reflects sporting director Gabriele Tarquini’s strategy of balancing experience with fresh perspectives, creating what drivers describe as an exceptional team atmosphere. With veterans like Andre Lotterer and Pipo Derani leading development alongside newcomers from the Trajectory Programme, CHADWICK will be positioned to learn from seasoned professionals while contributing her own expertise to the manufacturer’s learning curve.
- Genesis faces decisions about driver rotation for shorter races, with the possibility of scaling back to two-car crews for six-hour events. This strategic flexibility could provide CHADWICK with opportunities to gain valuable seat time as the team evaluates performance and development needs throughout their inaugural season, positioning her as a key part of the manufacturer’s long-term WEC ambitions.
UPCOMING:
- Qatar 1812KM – March 2026
- WEC Prologue Test – February 2026
