Logan Sargeant, former Formula One driver for Williams Racing, is set to race for the first time since his release from the globally recognized open-wheel series, as he races at Indianapolis and Road Atlanta for in #52 PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports LMP2 Oreca for its final two races in IMSA.

Sargeant had a deal in place earlier in the season with the incoming sports car program, Genesis Magma Racing, planning to compete with the team’s LMP2 entry in the European Le Mans Series as a development driver. However, he would depart from the program before getting a chance to race, stating this afternoon that he never signed a contract. Due to his departure, Sargeant has not competed since his final F1 race last season, where he scored a 16th-place finish at Zandvoort.

Across a season and a half with Williams, Sargeant earned one Top 10, coming at one of his home country races at Circuit of the Americas in 2023. Beyond the lone points performance, Sargeant was unable to capture the same magic that he generated in F2. Franco Colapinto would replace Sargeant following his release from Williams, with the Argentine now racing for Alpine.

Sargeant’s racing opportunity with PR1/Mathiasen marks the Floridian’s first races within the American sportscar series, with his most recent sportscar race coming back in 2021, where he would race in the Le Mans Cup and European Le Mans.

“I’m super excited to be jumping back into a car for the last two LMP2 races in IMSA with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports,” said Sargeant in the team’s press release. “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 of races for the team and bring my knowledge and experience to everyone involved.”
