The newcomer: Genesis Magma Racing

Genesis Magma Racing is the only new manufacturer of 2026. It runs two GMR-001 Hypercars: the No. 17 for André Lotterer, Luis Felipe Derani and Mathys Jaubert, and the No. 19 for Daniel Juncadella, Mathieu Jaminet and Paul-Loup Chatin.

Genesis has 0 podiums in 2026. Its best result in the first six rounds was seventh, by the No. 17 at the Circuit of the Americas.

Who left and who joined at Le Mans

Porsche fielded three 963s at each 2025 round, two for Porsche Penske Motorsport and one for Proton Competition, plus a third Penske car at Le Mans. Neither team has a Hypercar entry in 2026, so Genesis's arrival keeps the manufacturer count at eight.

The only Le Mans-only Hypercar in 2026 was the No. 101 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R, driven by Filipe Albuquerque, Jordan Taylor and Ricky Taylor. It finished ninth in class, taking the Le Mans Hypercar field to 18. The confirmed newcomers for 2027 are covered in which manufacturers will join the WEC in 2027.
