The Genesis Magma Racing GMR-001 Hypercar will debut at Le Mans next week, making it the Korean luxury brand’s first 24h race. Mathieu Jaminet feels “less pressure” with Genesis than with Porsche. Jaminet left Porsche after winning the IMSA title in the GTP category to join Genesis’ new Hypercar effort. He is excited to be part of Genesis’ motorsport debut and hopes it will help build a fan base for the brand’s road cars.
Jaminet noted the difference in pressure between racing with Porsche and Genesis at Le Mans. The cancellation of the WEC round in Qatar means Le Mans will be Genesis’ first longer race. Despite reliability concerns, Jaminet remains confident in the team’s preparation for the race. The focus is on gaining experience and building towards podium finishes in the future.
