WEC/IMSA News: Ex-F1 driver Sargeant has new manager, to race again (Update)
Sargeant will make his return to racing for the final two IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship races of the season, having been confirmed in PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports’ LMP2 entry for both the Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and season-ending Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.
While having been replaced in this year’s program by Dani Juncadella, Sargeant had remained quiet on any potential future racing endeavors until the news below.
“I’m super excited to be jumping back into a car for the last two LMP2 races in IMSA with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to drive at two special tracks, Indianapolis and Road Atlanta, and help push for good results with my teammates Ben and Naveen.
“I’m eager to contribute to a successful couple races for the team, and bring my knowledge and experience to everyone involved.”
Team boss Bobby Oergel said “I am sure Logan’s pace will be top-notch and everyone will work well together. We really want to welcome him into our team in a smooth and easy fashion. The opportunity to do some testing ahead of the Indy event should do just that.”
Sargeant is not a newcomer to LMP2 competition, having taken part in two races with the TF Sport-run Racing Team Turkey outfit in the 2021 ELMS season.

(GMM) Just months after appearing to walk away from motorsport altogether, Logan Sargeant (pictured) has signed with Oliver Gavin Motorsport Management (OGMM) to target a future in sportscar racing.
The 24-year-old American lost his Williams Formula 1 seat to Franco Colapinto mid-way through 2024, then pulled out of a planned 2025 European Le Mans Series LMP2 drive.
At the time, the French outfit IDEC-Genesis Magma Racing said: “Following the decision of Logan Sargeant to step away from the sport to pursue other interests, (IDEC) and Genesis Magma Racing are taking note of his decision and will announce his substitute in the next few days.”
Now, Oliver Gavin’s new management company announced: “We are delighted to welcome Logan Sargeant to the OGMM team.
“With a strong history of racing in single seaters and at still only 24, Logan is joining OGMM as he focuses on a future career in sportscars.”
OGMM is headed by 52-year-old Oliver Gavin, a factory Corvette sports car driver for almost 20 years but perhaps best known in F1 circles as a former full-time safety car driver.
