July 10, 2026

• JAMIE CHADWICK, three-time W Series champion, pivoted from two Indy NXT seasons to Genesis Magma Racing’s LMP2 program after IndyCar advancement stalled, seeking broader opportunities in endurance racing’s multiple categories and seat availability.
• The Briton became first woman to test Le Mans circuit in Hypercar machinery before 2026’s race, currently serving as Genesis’ reserve driver while developing hybrid systems expertise and pursuing full-time Hypercar seat.
• CHADWICK’s 2025 ELMS campaign shows maturation despite fewer podiums than last year’s three-win season, with improved risk management in multi-class traffic translating to stronger personal performance metrics across four-hour endurance stints.
• Hypercar complexity demands mastering Motor Generator Unit deployment, energy management, and in-car adjustments across differential, brake migration, and aero settings during extended three-to-four-hour driving sessions at WEC’s pinnacle category.
