Genesis factory driver Andre Lotterer will compete in the Le Mans 24 Hours this year as part of the Hypercar preparation program with IDEC Sport in LMP2. He is replacing Dani Juncadella, who will race in the European Le Mans Series alongside Jamie Chadwick and Mathys Jaubert. Juncadella will focus on the full FIA WEC season with TF Sport Corvette, leading to Lotterer taking his place at IDEC for the 24 Hours race. Lotterer, a three-time Le Mans winner, brings his experience to the team and will race alongside Chadwick and Jaubert in LMP2. Juncadella is excited to join IDEC Sport and Genesis Magma Racing, providing a valuable addition to the team’s driver lineup. Cyril Abiteboul praised Juncadella’s inclusion in the ‘Trajectory’ program and highlighted his fit with the team’s goals. Lotterer will have a test session with IDEC/Genesis Magma Racing before Le Mans, while the ELMS season kicks off on April 6 in Barcelona.
