Jamie Chadwick targets Le Mans success while paving path to Hypercar future

Jamie Chadwick, the 26-year-old British racing driver, has been steadily progressing in her racing career. She is all set to compete for IDEC Sport in the 2025 European Le Mans Series, and while she has her eyes set on achieving solid success, she also has her eyes on making it into the quickly growing Hypercar series.

Jamie Chadwick is a well-known name for American motorsports fans. She has previously competed in the IndyCar-sanctioned Indy NXT series for Andretti Global.

In line with the upcoming challenge with IDEC Sport and her looking into Hypercar, she recently took the time to dwell on the same.

"LMP2 in ELMS is really competitive and a really good opportunity for me, I’m a Silver-graded driver, and I think the way it works with the grading system there can really help me learn and develop in my first year. With the Genesis backing, it [puts] a little bit of a one eye on the ultimate goal one day of progressing into Hypercar." Chadwick said via SportsCar365.

Chadwick will drive the Genesis-backed No.18 IDEC Sport ORECA 07 Gibson with Dani Duncadella and Mathys Jaubert in the 2025 season. All the drivers of the team are part of a trajectory program that aims to promote them to a Hypercar seat. It will become a reality once Genesis Magma Racing's LMDH push is operational from the 2026 season of the World Endurance Championship onward.
