Logan Sargeant will not be part of IDEC Sport’s Genesis-linked LMP2 effort in the European Le Mans Series, stepping down from the program to “pursue other interests.”
The American racer was due to join the French squad to pilot the No. 18 Oreca 07 Gibson alongside Mathys Jaubert and Jamie Chadwick.
That program was part of an alignment with the Genesis Magma Racing LMDh effort, with IDEC serving as a development partner for the Korean manufacturer and offering Sargeant, Chadwick and Jaubert the opportunity to step up to the top-class racing program in the future.
However, IDEC confirmed via a statement issued on Tuesday that the 24-year-old will no longer form part of the program in order to “pursue other interests.”
“Following the decision of Logan Sargeant to stepping away from the sport to pursue other interests, IDEC Sport and Genesis Magma Racing are taking note of his decision and will announce his substitute in the next few days,” the team wrote.
IDEC will field two cars in ELMS this year, with the second car set to be piloted by Paul Lafargue, Job van Uitert and Paul-Loup Chatin.
