Former Williams driver Logan Sargeant is set to return to the cockpit at the end of January, when he competes in the 24 Hours of Daytona.
The American driver was not allowed to see out the 2024 season, having been axed by
Williams in August 2024, just days after a disastrous outing at the Dutch Grand Prix.
His seat was handed to Franco Colapinto, who went on to impress with a string of strong results and ultimately secured a full-time drive with Alpine at the start of 2025, replacing Jack Doohan.
In November 2024, he carried out a private test with Meyer Shank Racing at The Thermal Club, getting his first taste of an IndyCar in a closed-door outing. However, the test has yet to open the door to a race seat, with no concrete proposal emerging.
Now, Logan Sargeant will have a major opportunity to put himself back in the spotlight, returning to competitive action from Wednesday, January 21 to Sunday, January 25, 2026 with Era Motorsport — marking his official comeback to racing.
The American will share the No. 18 Oreca 07 LMP2 with Ferdinand Habsburg, a known driver in Endurance Racing, alongside an Indian-American tech entrepreneur Naveen Rao.
“I’m super excited to be tackling my first-ever Daytona 24 with Era to kick off 2026," Sargeant commented.
"It’s a race I’ve always wanted to be part of, with how close it is to home. It’ll be great to get acquainted with my teammates at the ROAR and push hard to come away with a Rolex at the end of the race.”
Sargeant had already sampled IMSA competition last season, taking part in the final two rounds of the championship with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, though the outings ultimately yielded no standout results.
