Jamie Chadwick downplayed the significance of being the first female driver to win outright in the European Le Mans Series, citing her previous LMP2 class win in Barcelona as proof of her capabilities. The ELMS, overseen by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest like the WEC, has seen other female drivers like Lilou Wadoux and Michelle Gatting make an impact in recent races. Chadwick’s success with IDEC Sport could pave the way for a potential factory Hypercar drive next year, given Genesis Magma Racing’s plans to enter the WEC with LMDh cars in 2026. Genesis is evaluating Chadwick and her teammates as part of their Trajectory program, alongside established drivers like Andre Lotterer and Pipo Derani. The season so far has seen Chadwick, Mathys Jaubert, and Dani Juncadella excel, reinforcing their potential as future Hypercar contenders.
