Font size

Genesis' racing team 'Genesis Magma Racing' has completed its debut season in the Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).

Genesis announced on the 9th that the GMR-001 hypercar #17 finished in 13th place in the 2026 WEC final round '6 Hours of Monza' held in Monza, Italy on the 8th.

Car number 19, which was in second place in the preliminaries, was in the lead for about two hours at the beginning of the race, but retired (stopped running) due to a system malfunction.

As a result, Genesis became the first domestic manufacturer to compete in all eight races in a WEC hypercar class season after announcing its entry into motorsports in 2024.

Last June, he succeeded in completing the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the third round of the WEC and the world's most prestigious endurance race, despite multiple engine shutdowns.

Genesis Magma Racing plans to participate in the WEC with the same driver lineup next year and compete in a total of 9 races.

Gabriele Tarquini, Genesis Magma Racing sporting director, said, “We will come back stronger in the 2027 season by making up for the improvements identified in recent races.”
