GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • JAMIE CHADWICK is back for another round with Genesis Magma Racing’s Trajectory Programme, this time pulling double duty as she returns to IDEC Sport in ELMS LMP2 competition while taking on a Reserve Driver role for their upcoming Hypercar project. It’s a smart move that keeps her in the prototype racing mix while positioning her perfectly for potential seat opportunities when Genesis makes their historic Le Mans debut.
  • The programme has shifted focus from team preparation to pure driver development, dropping the collaborative ORECA 07 effort that helped prepare the crew for WEC competition. Instead, Genesis is investing in individual talent pipelines, adding Korean drivers Michael Shin and Kyuho Lee to support their mission of raising motorsport’s profile in South Korea while giving these drivers international racing platform exposure.
  • This strategic pivot comes as Genesis prepares to make history as the first Korean manufacturer at Le Mans with their two-car Hypercar effort later this year. CHADWICK’s reserve role puts her in prime position should any opportunities open up in what promises to be a groundbreaking campaign for Korean motorsport on the world’s biggest endurance racing stage.

UPCOMING:

  • Genesis Magma Racing Hypercar debut – 2026 season
  • 24 Hours of Le Mans – Genesis two-car Hypercar effort
