Rashad Iskandrni<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">March 30, 2026 \u2014 For the team\u2019s debut season in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), Genesis Magma Racing have assembled a driver lineup that combines championship winning experience, development expertise and the ambition of youth. However, all involved recognize the scale of the challenge ahead of the team.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Driver Lineups Balance Experience and Ambition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">Though satisfied with the outcomes of the on-track testing and development, the team is aware that the proof of the progress made will only come with the first competitive sessions of the 2026 season. The efforts of Genesis as a manufacturer and work the team has completed have secured a place on the grid of the 6 Hours of Imola. However, on track, Genesis Magma Racing have to earn the right to truly compete with the more experienced teams and manufacturers it wishes to count among its rivals.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">\u201cWe have focused on the things we can control,\u201d said Genesis Magma Racing Sporting Director Gabriele Tarquini. \u201cIn engineering, that\u2019s the reliability and performance of the car, in team management, it\u2019s the processes and for me, it\u2019s the driver lineups.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">He explained: \u201cEach of our drivers brings something different, and that\u2019s exactly what makes a strong endurance lineup. We have drivers whose extensive Hypercar experience has been extremely valuable in developing the car, and others who, with the enthusiasm of rookies, will help us overcome the difficulties we will certainly face during our first season. But beyond individual strengths, what really matters is how they work together. Endurance racing is about trust, communication and shared responsibility for the result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">The relationship between the drivers has been critical in assembling the three-driver lineups for each of the team\u2019s GMR-001 Hypercars. Most notably, when named as the team\u2019s first two drivers in December 2024, Andr\u00e9 Lotterer and Pipo Derani were expected to drive different cars in competition. However, as the team saw how well they worked together during the earliest stages of testing, it became clear that the strongest option for the team was to pair the two in the #17 GMR-001 Hypercars, where their combined experience is complimented by Hypercar debutant and Genesis Magma Racing Trajectory Program graduate Mathys Jaubert.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">The #19 sister car will be shared by Daniel Juncadella, who drove alongside Jaubert in the European Le Mans Series last year, Mathieu Jaminet and Paul-Loup Chatin. All three start new challenges in their careers with Genesis Magma Racing, aiming to add to successes including IMSA titles \u2014 Jaminet \u2014 GT racing success \u2014 Juncadella \u2014 and a FIA WEC race win in a car built around the same ORECA spine as the GMR-001 Hypercar \u2013 Chatin at the 2025 6 Hours of Fuji.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Driver <\/strong><strong>Quotes and Profiles <\/strong>\u2014 <strong>#17 GMR-001 Hypercar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Luis Felipe \u2018Pipo\u2019 Derani<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Place of Birth:<\/strong> S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Date of Birth:<\/strong> Oct. 12, 1993<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>FIA Driver Grading:<\/strong> Platinum<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Career Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2023<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">12 Hours of Sebring \u2013 GTP class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">IMSA SportsCar Championship \u2013 GTP class (1 win, 3 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2021<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">IMSA SportsCar Championship \u2013 DPi class (4 wins, 8 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2019<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">12 Hours of Sebring \u2013 DPi class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Petit Le Mans \u2013 DPi class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">IMSA SportsCar Championship \u2013 DPi class (2 wins, 5 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2018<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">12 Hours of Sebring \u2013 DPi class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Asian Le Mans Series \u2013 LMP2 class (4 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2017<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">24 Hours of Le Mans \u2013 LMGTE Pro class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2016<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">24 Hours of Daytona \u2013 Prototype class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">12 Hours of Sebring \u2013 Prototype class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2015<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">3<sup>rd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">FIA World Endurance Championship \u2013 LMP2 class (1 win, 7 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">Pipo Derani said: \u201cOur first goal for the season has to be for us to become a proper team. There are so many great people in the team. What we\u2019ve already done is a massive achievement, like climbing Mount Everest, only higher, and now we get to live what one-and-a-half-years ago was a dream. Now we have to polish everything \u2013 have the pitstops done right, people knowing exactly what they need to do. The reality is we need to create small targets for ourselves. For the first race we can hopefully make as few mistakes as possible and finish the race, the second race finish a little better, results-wise, and slowly push the targets further and further towards the front. The mentality I\u2019m taking into the season is to tick those boxes bit by bit. I think if we do that, we will eventually be surprised with where we can get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Mathys Jaubert<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Place of Birth: <\/strong>Salon-de-Provence, France<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Date of Birth: <\/strong>March 3, 2005<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>FIA Driver Grading: <\/strong>Silver<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Career Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"57\"><strong>2025<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">3<sup>rd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">European Le Mans Series \u2013 LMP2 class (3 wins, 4 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"47\">8<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Porsche Supercup (1 win, 2 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"3\" width=\"57\"><strong>2024<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Porsche Carrera Cup France (3 wins, 9 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"47\">3<sup>rd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Porsche Carrera Cup Asia (11 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"47\">10<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Porsche Supercup<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2023<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">4<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Porsche Carrera Cup France (2 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">Mathys Jaubert said: \u201cFor me, honestly, my first target is to make a good year, as I did in 2025 in the European Le Mans Series. If I can go without mistakes, with good performance in all my stints, then I will be proud of what I have done at the end of the year. This is my main target, and the most important thing for the team. I think a good aim for us is finishing in the top five in one race; this \u2013 for the first year of the team, that would be very strong. For me, personally, my ambition is to be the best rookie in the WEC. That\u2019s always the first aim to be best of the group like you. But, for that you need to have good teammates, a good car and a good team around you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Andr\u00e9 Lotterer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Place of Birth:<\/strong> Duisburg, Germany<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Date of Birth:<\/strong> Nov. 19, 1981<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>FIA Driver Grading:<\/strong> Platinum<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Career Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2024<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">FIA World Endurance Championship \u2013 Hypercar class (2 wins, 5 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2019<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">4<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">24 Hours of Le Mans \u2013 LMP1 class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2018<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">4<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">24 Hours of Le Mans \u2013 LMP1 class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2017<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">4<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">FIA World Endurance Championship \u2013 LMP1 class (7 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2016<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">Super Formula Championship (3 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2015<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">FIA World Endurance Championship \u2013 LMP1 class (2 wins, 8 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"57\"><strong>2014<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">24 Hours of Le Mans \u2013 LMP1 class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">FIA World Endurance Championship \u2013 LMP1 class (2 wins, 2 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"57\"><strong>2013<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">FIA World Endurance Championship \u2013 LMP1 class (3 wins, 6 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">Super Formula Championship (2 wins, 4 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"57\"><strong>2012<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">24 Hours of Le Mans \u2013 LMP1 class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">FIA World Endurance Championship \u2013 LMP1 class (3 wins, 7 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"57\"><strong>2011<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">24 Hours of Le Mans \u2013 LMP1 class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">Formula Nippon (5 wins, 6 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2009<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">Super GT Championship \u2013 GT500 class (1 win, 5 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2006<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"482\">Super GT Championship \u2013 GT500 class (1 win, 3 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">Andr\u00e9 Lotterer said: \u201cFor most of us who have been in the sport a long time, the ultimate goal is to win and until then you\u2019re not too happy. The dynamic is obviously different when you join as a new manufacturer against teams that have been racing for years. So, you have a humble approach. It would be amazing to finish our first race without problems and issues and accumulate maximum experience, would be a very great achievement. But as we know, and as all ambitious people in motorsport, we are very competitive. So, for sure, we will do our best to be as competitive as possible. The car has run without problems in testing and life has been pretty good. But in the racing scenario, it can be different. We will definitely face things that we try to simulate, try to expect, but they will come. And let&#8217;s see how we can manage them and tackle them. And that is how we will be challenged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Paul-Loup Chatin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Place of Birth:<\/strong> Dourdan, France<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Date of Birth:<\/strong> Oct. 19, 1991<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>FIA Driver Grading:<\/strong> Gold<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Career Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2025<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">14<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">FIA World Endurance Championship \u2013 Hypercar Class (1 win)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2023<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">IMSA SportsCar Championship \u2013 LMP2 Class (1 wins, 4 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2019<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">European Le Mans Series \u2013 LMP2 Class (2 wins, 4 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2014<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">European Le Mans Series \u2013 LMP2 Class (1 win, 3 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">Paul-Loup Chatin said: \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to being part of the Genesis brand, building the reputation of the brand in Europe.

It will be super cool to see the benefit of what we do on track in the wider market. As a race team, we want to progress during the season. What I don\u2019t want to see is a decent first race and a decent last race. I\u2019d actually prefer to have a difficult race in Imola and then a good Bahrain weekend at the end of the year. I don&#8217;t know where we\u2019ll start compared to the other teams. We&#8217;ll know soon, but at the moment I still don\u2019t know where we are exactly in terms of performance.

It\u2019s quite surprising, knowing how tight the LMDh regulations are, that two cars can feel so different, but at the end of the day they all make more or less the same lap time, even if it\u2019s in different ways. There are definitely some strengths in the GMR-001 Hypercar, even though we are still very early in the Genesis Magma Racing project. On the other hand, there are some weaker points, and this is where I try to bring my experience to the engineers, having developed a previous car before and raced it for a couple of years, to work to create a winning racecar. I think a realistic target is progression &#8211; that the car gets more reliable over the year, that we start to gain performance and slowly catch up to the front and really see progression from race one to race number eight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Dani Juncadella<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Place of Birth:<\/strong> Barcelona, Spain<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Date of Birth:<\/strong> May 7, 1991<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>FIA Driver Grading:<\/strong> Platinum<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>Career Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2025<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">3<sup>rd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">European Le Mans Series \u2013 LMP2 Class (3 wins, 4 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">6<sup>th<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">FIA World Endurance Championship \u2013 LMGT3 class (1 win, 1 podium)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2023<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">2<sup>nd<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">IMSA Sportscar Championship \u2013 GTD Pro class (3 wins, 5 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2022<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">GT World Challenge Europe Endurance \u2013 Pro class (1 win, 3 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2012<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">FIA Formula 3 Europe (6 wins, 12 podiums)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"57\"><strong>2011<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">1<sup>st<\/sup><\/td>\n<td width=\"454\">Macau Grand Prix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"direction: ltr;\">Dani Juncadella said: \u201cThere\u2019s many different things playing into a result that we, or at least me as a driver, cannot control.

It could be, at the end of the season, we look back and, even if we haven\u2019t scored a good result, we could probably say, \u2018OK, here we had a chance and something happened.\u2019 But if you give yourself opportunities to score big results, that\u2019s already something you can be proud of.
