Last week, one of endurance racing’s greatest legends climbed into the cockpit of the GMR-001 Hypercar. Jacky Ickx, six-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner and former F1 driver, and current Genesis Magma Racing Advisor, took to Circuit Paul Ricard for a landmark test, bringing decades of racing excellence to the team’s bold vision for the future.
At 81, the Belgian racing legend sampled a current-generation Hypercar for the first time, giving him his first on-track experience of a modern top-class prototype. To mark the occasion, Genesis released a short video on YouTube documenting the test.
