The GMR-001 has been built to comply with the Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) regulations, and it's supposed to race in both the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) and IMSA SportsCar Championship (IMSA).

The GMR-001 will be driven at Le Mans and Daytona, among others, by a team comprising three-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner André Lotterer and four-time 12 Hours of Sebring winner Luis "Pipo" Derani.
