The ceremony was staged at Cadillac City Paris, the American carmaker’s flagship EV outlet. “The unveiling of the Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R livery here at our iconic flagship in Paris reflects Cadillac’s unwavering commitment to innovation and performance on the global stage,” said Pere Brugal, Managing Director and President, GM Europe. “As we expand our footprint in Europe, this partnership represents a powerful opportunity to showcase Cadillac’s pioneering spirit in one of the most prestigious racing championships in the world. We are proud to work alongside JOTA Sport and Hertz to bring our V-Series.R to life and look forward to an exciting season ahead."

Cadillac, in its third FIA WEC Hypercar season, is fielding two Cadillac V-Series.Rs (#12 and #38) under the Hertz Team JOTA banner. British outfit JOTA Sport, one of the most experienced and successful teams in recent years, won the FIA World Championship in the Hypercar category last season and took six podium places in the LMP2 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 2011 and 2023. The team can even boast second and third place overall in 2017. They switched to Hypercar in 2023. Said David Clark, Co-Founder and Director, Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA: "The unveiling of the Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R livery today is the culmination of an enormous amount of hard work and commitment on all sides of this new motorsport family. It’s a very proud moment for the entire group as we unveil this stunning race machine. This moment represents more than our aesthetic for the year ahead. It represents the next step for both race-winning, record-setting brands within the FIA World Endurance Championship. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hertz for being incredible partners to us on this journey and to show our gratitude to GM/Cadillac for having the belief in us, not just in our ability to perform but also for their trust in the level that we are going to represent one of their most prestigious brands on a global stage. We can’t wait to see what we can do together this year.”

The driver crews are yet to be officialised but Will Stevens, Jenson Button, Norman Nato, Earl Bamber, Alex Lynn and Sébastien Bourdais have been announced as team members.
The FIA WEC season begins with the Prologue on 20 and 21 February, followed by the Qatar 1812 km a week later at the Losail International Circuit.
