JAMIE CHADWICK Charges From Back to P4 in European Le Mans Series at Ricard

May 4, 2026

• JAMIE CHADWICK executed a standout opening stint at Le Castellet, charging from dead last in LMP2 after qualifying DQ to fourth overall, demonstrating exceptional pace and overtaking prowess in her second ELMS season.
• The British driver’s recovery drive was the foundation for IDEC Sport’s podium challenge, moving from P11 to effective third through the first hour with aggressive inside-line moves and consistent 1:52 lap times.
• CHADWICK and teammates Rinicella and Horr secured consecutive P4 finishes, missing podium by narrow margins as final pit strategy dropped them from second in closing stages, now sitting fourth in championship standings.
• The #18 crew’s disqualification stemmed from underweight scrutineering after removing onboard camera without replacement ballast, forcing the back-row penalty that made CHADWICK’s recovery performance even more impressive in race conditions.
