Genesis Lands Jaminet & Chatin for WEC, Names JAMIE CHADWICK as Reserve Driver

November 20, 2025

• Genesis revealed JAMIE CHADWICK as their reserve driver following her maiden test in the Genesis GMR-001, marking another significant step for women in top-tier endurance racing. While the announcement was brief compared to the detailed coverage of their male signings, Chadwick’s inclusion in the WEC Hypercar program represents meaningful progress in a series where female participation remains limited.
• The team completed their driver roster by signing Mathieu Jaminet from Porsche and Paul-Loup Chatin from Alpine, with both drivers bringing extensive LMDh experience to Genesis’ maiden WEC campaign in 2026. Team principal Cyril Abiteboul praised the “amazing line-up” and the trust these “race winners and champions” have placed in the young program.
• Genesis’ driver announcement strategy reveals the ongoing challenge women face in motorsports coverage – CHADWICK’s appointment merited a single sentence while her male counterparts received detailed career summaries and extensive quotes. Despite this disparity in coverage, her inclusion in a factory Hypercar program signals that teams are beginning to recognize the value of diverse talent pools in elite endurance racing.
