The highly anticipated GMR-001 Hypercar has been making headlines in the world of motorsports since its announcement by Genesis Magma Racing (GMR). With its sleek design and cutting-edge technology, the Hypercar has been the talk of the town among racing enthusiasts. However, the real challenge lies in its on-track performance, and the technical team at GMR has been working tirelessly to ensure that the Hypercar lives up to its promise. As the first few weeks of the on-track development phase come to an end, FX Demaison and Justin Taylor, the technical leads at GMR, reflect on the progress made and the challenges faced.
The GMR-001 Hypercar is not just a regular racing car; it is a culmination of the latest technology and innovation in the world of motorsports. With a team of experienced engineers and designers, GMR has pushed the boundaries to create a car that not only looks impressive but also delivers exceptional performance on the track. The development phase is a crucial stage where the car is put to the test, and any flaws or weaknesses are identified and rectified. This is where the technical leads, FX Demaison and Justin Taylor, come into play.
FX Demaison, who has over 20 years of experience in motorsports, is the Technical Director at GMR. He has been the driving force behind the development of the GMR-001 Hypercar, and his expertise has been invaluable in creating a car that is both fast and reliable.

Justin Taylor, the Chief Engineer at GMR, has been leading the development of the hybrid powertrain. With his expertise and experience in developing hybrid technology for road cars, Taylor has been instrumental in creating a powertrain that is both powerful and efficient.
“The hybrid powertrain was a new challenge for us, but we were determined to make it work. The first few weeks of testing have been very promising, and we are confident that the GMR-001 Hypercar will be a game-changer in the world of motorsports,” says Taylor. He also adds that the team is constantly working on fine-tuning the powertrain to ensure that it delivers the best performance on the track.
The on-track development phase is not just about testing the car’s performance; it is also about collecting data and analyzing it to make improvements. The GMR technical team has been using advanced simulation and data analysis tools to monitor the car’s performance and identify any areas that need improvement. This has helped them make crucial changes to the car’s design and setup, resulting in improved performance.
“We are fortunate to have access to the latest technology and tools, which have been instrumental in our development process. It allows us to gather and analyze data in real-time, which helps us make informed decisions and improve the car’s performance,” says Demaison.
The GMR-001 Hypercar has been attracting a lot of attention from motorsports enthusiasts, and the technical team at GMR is well aware of the expectations riding on their shoulders. However, they are confident that the Hypercar will exceed all expectations and set new standards in the world of racing.
“We have put our heart and soul into developing the GMR-001 Hypercar, and we are proud of what we have achieved so far. The on-track development phase will continue for a few more weeks, and we are confident that the Hypercar will be ready to take on the competition when it hits the track,” says Taylor.
As the on-track development phase nears its end, the excitement and anticipation for the GMR-001 Hypercar’s official debut only continue to grow. The technical leads at GMR are determined to make the Hypercar a force to be reckoned with on the track, and with their expertise and dedication, there
