The former Williams Racing F1 driver joined IDEC Sport in December, as part of a programme that is meant to prepare Korean automaker Genesis for the launch of its new LMDh prototype programme in the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship. Sargent was due to share the #18 ORECA 07 LMP2 with Jamie Chadwick and Mathys Jaubert as part of Genesis’ 2025 ‘trajectory programme.’

But today, IDEC Sport confirmed that Sargeant will not race for the team, saying: “Following the decision of Logan Sargeant to step 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. We wish Logan all the best in his projects.”
