Overview
- Genesis showed the No. 17 livery Tuesday, revealing a grey-black base with orange accents, the South Korean flag, and Hangeul lettering that spells “Magma.”
- The GMR-001 uses an Oreca LMDh chassis and a twin-turbo 3.2‑litre V8 called G8MR that is developed from Hyundai’s World Rally Championship engine.
- Testing has totaled about 25,000 kilometers, including roughly 9,000 on a single engine, to prove durability and tune software for consistent power delivery under WEC rules.
- Two entries will debut with André Lotterer, Pipo Derani, and Mathys Jaubert in the No. 17 and Paul‑Loup Chatin, Mathieu Jaminet, and Daniel Juncadella in the No. 19, with Jamie Chadwick as reserve.
- The team heads to the Imola Prologue on April 14 before racing the 6 Hours of Imola on April 17–19, targeting clean finishes with no penalties before chasing one‑lap pace and higher placings.
