Genesis stuns WEC with flawless hypercar debut at Imola
The GMR-001 finished 14th without a single technical issue. Built in 500 days, it's a flex of engineering discipline.
Genesis pulled off a shocker at Imola. The GMR-001 hypercar, built in just 500 days, finished 14th with zero reliability hiccups. That's unheard of for a brand-new prototype.
The car wasn't the fastest, but it ran every lap without a glitch. Most debut efforts in the Hypercar class end in smoke or garage visits. Not this one.
Genesis kept the GMR-001 on track for the full six hours, logging consistent times and avoiding the mechanical gremlins that plague new programs. The 500-day build timeline was a flex of engineering discipline, not a desperate scramble. Now the team heads to Spa with genuine belief they can fight for points, not just survival.
