Three-time reigning champions in the JS P4 category, Team Virage is set to return to the Ligier European Series in 2025 with a first Ligier JS P4 entry, the #27. The team has signed two promising young drivers making their debut in both the championship and the Ligier JS P4: Belgian driver Vic Stevens and British driver Jude Peters.
A New Ambitious Duo
After dominating the JS P4 category for the past three seasons, Team Virage continues its momentum with a fresh driver pairing. Having recently completed their first tests with the team, Vic Stevens and Jude Peters are eager to take on the challenge.
A rising star in karting, Vic Stevens built an impressive resume last season, claiming the ROTAX World Championship title, the Winter Series Championship, and runner-up finishes in both the Rotax Belgium and BNL Karting Series with the Belgian squad Bouvin Power Racing Team. The 2025 season will mark his endurance racing debut behind the wheel of the Ligier JS P4 in April.
“I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining Team Virage in the Ligier European Series JS P4 class for the 2025 season! I can’t wait to hit the track and give it my all with this incredible team. Big thanks to Julien and Philippe for believing in me, let’s make 2025 unforgettable”, said Vic Stevens.
His teammate, Jude Peters, shares the same excitement: “I can proudly announce that I will be part of Team Virage in their Ligier European Series campaign this season with the Ligier JS P4 class. Their rich history in endurance racing holds many championship titles on their books. Team Virage’s commitment to cultivating driving talent and striving for excellence is a great inspiration. I am eager to contribute to the team’s continued success and look forward to an exciting season ahead.”
Coming from a sim racing background, Jude Peters began his transition to real-world competition in the 2024 Ginetta Junior Championship. After a steep learning curve, he consistently finished in the top 8 and clinched the 2024 Freshman Championship title. He will make his debuts in sports-prototypes at the opening round of the 2025 Ligier European Series.
Team Virage: A Benchmark in JS P4
Since joining the Ligier European Series, Team Virage has established itself as a leading force in the JS P4 category. The team secured the title with Gillian Henrion in 2022, followed by Mihnea Stefan in 2023, and most recently with British duo Theo Micouris and Haydn Chance in 2024. Under the leadership of Julien Gerbi and Philippe Gautheron, Team Virage is now ready to defend its title with its newest promising lineup.
“Team Virage is happy and excited to join the Ligier European Series for a fourth season. Our successes in 2022, 2023 and 2024 have showed our commitment and our will to give the best platform for young drivers who want to do a career in Endurance. Vic and Jude have great potential and have been quick in the JS P4 since their first ever test. We can’t wait to see them fighting on the field.” said Julien Gerbi, Team Principal of Team Virage.
The 2025 Ligier European Series season kicks off in April in Barcelona, where Team Virage’s #27 Ligier JS P4 will make its competitive debut. Vic Stevens and Jude Peters will aim to continue the team’s winning streak in what promises to be a fiercely contested championship.
