Two familiar open-wheel faces are set to contest the full European Le Mans Series schedule next season with IDEC Sport and Genesis Magma Racing.
Former Formula 1 driver Logan Sargeant and Indy NXT star Jamie Chadwick will pilot an LMP2 car alongside Porsche Carrera Cup driver Mathys Jaubert in 2025, the team revealed on Wednesday morning.
The news followed Hyundai Motorsport announcing its commitment to endurance racing in September.
Genesis Magma Racing will transition to the World Endurance Championship and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2026. The team partnered with IDEC Sport “to accelerate the development of its structure and prepare for upcoming challenges,” the team stated in a release.
“Logan is young but already well-experienced, with a background in endurance racing having competed in the ELMS before F-1,” Nicolas Minassian, team principal at IDEC Sport said. “Jamie is a very fast, professional and motivated driver and finally, Mathys, despite his young age, has shown strong potential.
“Our goal is to review all the aspects with them that they need in order to be ready to join the Hypercar grid. I can already feel the excitement and energy of everyone around this project. We’ve already started working, and I can’t wait to see the cars on the starting grid of the first race of the
2025 season.”

Sargeant, who competed for Williams Racing previously in F-1, tested an Indy car with Meyer Shank Racing in November.
Chadwick scored a victory at Wisconsin’s Road America in the summer to become the first woman to win an Indy NXT race since 2010. She completed an Indy car test with Andretti Global following the season as well.
