Andre Lotterer and Pipo Derani have been announced as the first drivers for Genesis Magma Racing's LMDh program, set to debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2026. Both drivers bring significant experience, with Derani joining from Action Express Racing and Lotterer from Porsche Penske Motorsport. Additionally, Genesis will partner with IDEC Sport for a 2025 European Le Mans Series LMP2 entry, featuring drivers Jamie Chadwick, Logan Sargent, and Mathys Jaubert as part of their "trajectory program."
