June 8, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • JAMIE CHADWICK heads into her first Le Mans with serious momentum after IDEC Sport swept both ELMS LMP2 rounds this season, including an overall win at Le Castellet. She’s co-driving the No. 18 Oreca 07 Gibson with teammate Mathys Jaubert and three-time Le Mans winner Andre Lotterer, positioning herself as a legitimate contender rather than just a debut participant.
  • The stakes couldn’t be higher – both CHADWICK and Jaubert are in Genesis’s trajectory program, with internal KPIs determining who gets considered for the Korean manufacturer’s two-car Hypercar program launching in 2025. CHADWICK acknowledges the team has hit their benchmarks while being honest about her own areas for improvement, showing the kind of self-awareness that suggests she’s serious about this opportunity.
  • What’s refreshing is how CHADWICK frames this debut – she’s not just grateful to be there, she’s ready to “go for it” in the standalone Le Mans race that doesn’t count toward the ELMS championship. At 20, Jaubert is equally focused on performance over politics, saying he’s not looking ahead to Hypercar seats but concentrating on doing the job right now in LMP2.

UPCOMING:

  • 24 Hours of Le Mans – June 15-16
  • ELMS Round 3 – Red Bull Ring
