Former F1 driver Logan Sargeant will make his return to racing in
September, having signed up to race in the final two rounds of the
IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Sargeant will race in the
LMP2 class for PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports' and will have his outings
at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Road Atlanta. The American
driver departed the F1 grid midway through the 2024 campaign amid a
series of disappointing performances. He was promoted to F1 by
Williams from its driver academy the year before, scoring a best
result of 10th at the US Grand Prix. Sargeant was on track to join
the Hypercar class in the World Endurance Championship this year,
but the deal broke down. Now, however, the 24-year-old has secured
his return to racing, sharing his LMP2 car with team-mates Benjamin
Pedersen and Naveen Rao. "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." Sargeant's first
race in the series will be a six-hour endurance race in
Indianapolis on September 21.
