Genesis Magma Racing has confirmed an unchanged driver roster for the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship, following the contract extension announcement of Dani Juncadella the previous week.

Following the announcement of Dani Juncadella during the 6 Hours of Barcelona, Genesis Magma Racing has completed its six-driver line-up for 2027, which also includes Paul-Loup Chatin, Pipo Derani, Mathieu Jaminet, Mathys Jaubert and André Lotterer.

This announcement highlights Genesis’ aim to stability and continuity as the team builds on its sporting achievements and continues to develop the GMR-001 Hypercar.

Genesis Magma Racing Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul said: “Continuity is essential at this stage of our programme. Our drivers have built valuable knowledge of the GMR-001 Hypercar and strong working relationships with our technical team. They have also developed a positive dynamic and genuinely enjoy working together. Retaining the same line-up allows us to carry this experience and team spirit into 2027, continue developing the car efficiently and take further steps towards scoring points with both cars at every race.”

Genesis Magma Racing has achieved several important milestones during its first FIA WEC season. The team was immediately competitive at the opening round in Imola, before the #17 GMR-001 Hypercar scored the programme’s first championship points in only its second race, at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. The same car later finished seventh at Lone Star Le Mans, the brand’s best result to date.
