For its third season in the FIA WEC, Cadillac will be running two cars with Hertz Team JOTA, with Earl Bamber, Alex Lynn, Sébastien Bourdais, Will Stevens, Jenson Button, and Norman Nato be behind the wheel of the #12 and #38 V-Series.Rs. The exact line-up in each car will be confirmed shortly, but this array of talent promises a very exciting season for the manufacturer.

“A formidable line-up”

David Clark, director of JOTA Sport is thrilled about this partnership with Cadillac. “It’s an honour for us to pair with such an iconic automotive manufacturer. When you consider our collective records in the FIA World Endurance Championship, it’s very fitting that for the inaugural Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA driver line-up we have such an impressive breadth of world championship-winning talent and experience. Cadillac’s pedigree in motorsport speaks for itself, and with these six drivers we will be in a strong position to challenge for race wins. Under the careful watch of ACO (Automobile Club de l’Ouest) President Pierre Fillon, WEC continues to go from strength to strength, and with more eyes than ever before on our races, and some incredible talent behind the wheel, we have no doubt that we’ll put on a good show next season.”

Earl Bamber shares this optimism and points to his strong partnership with Alex Lynn and Sébastien Bourdais: “Joining JOTA is going to be a great step for the Cadillac project.  They have really proven what they can do with the Porsche and early interactions with the team have been positive. With me doing both WEC and IMSA, hopefully we can accelerate the learning process because we were quick with Chip Ganassi Racing the last few races of the ’24 season. Hopefully we can transfer knowledge from that project and continue our strong showing at the end of the year, taking knowledge from their project and combining all that to win races in WEC in 2025. The continuity of Alex, Seb and myself having driven the cars for a couple of years in IMSA and WEC will really lead to a formidable line-up.”

With a crew of swift and experienced drivers, and a Hypercar that has proven its worth, Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA is determined to be at the forefront in 2025. Let’s not forget that Hertz Team JOTA won the TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps last May, and the team took this year’s FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams ahead of AF Corse and Proton Competition.
