JAMIE CHADWICK Eyes Hypercar Seat After Historic Le Mans Test

July 10, 2026

• JAMIE CHADWICK pivoted from single-seaters to endurance racing after two Indy NXT seasons yielded no clear IndyCar path, joining Genesis Magma Racing’s development program in LMP2 where opportunity and seat availability exceed open-wheel categories.
• The three-time W Series champion became first woman to test a Hypercar at Le Mans circuit before the 2026 race, experiencing Genesis’ hybrid prototype at full speed on the iconic Mulsanne Straight as team reserve driver.
• CHADWICK secured three ELMS victories and third in drivers’ championship during 2025 debut season with Genesis, now focusing on performance refinement over results in her sophomore campaign while mastering multi-class traffic management and calculated risk-taking.
• Transitioning from raw Indy NXT machinery to sophisticated Hypercars requires mastering hybrid systems, Motor Generator Unit energy deployment, and in-cockpit adjustments across differential, brake migration, and aerodynamic settings during three-to-four-hour stints.
