Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA has just announced the names of its drivers for the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans (11-15 June 2025) and the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship season. The American manufacturer will be banking on some very experienced drivers to excel in the Hypercar class.

For its third season in the FIA WEC, Cadillac will be running two cars with Hertz Team JOTA, with Earl Bamber, Alex Lynn, S&eacute;bastien 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.

<h2>&ldquo;A formidable line-up&rdquo;</h2>

David Clark, director of JOTA Sport is thrilled about <a href="https://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/hertz-team-jota-takes-over-the-cadillac-fia-wec-2025-factory-programme-58909" target="_blank">this partnership with Cadillac</a>. &ldquo;It&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll put on a good show next season.&rdquo;

Earl Bamber shares this optimism and points to his strong partnership with Alex Lynn and S&eacute;bastien Bourdais: &ldquo;Joining JOTA is going to be a great step for the Cadillac project. &nbsp;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 &rsquo;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.&rdquo;

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&rsquo;s not forget that Hertz Team JOTA won the TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps last May, and the team took this year&rsquo;s FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams ahead of AF Corse and Proton Competition.

Over the course of BMW M Team WRT's first season in the FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar category, the BMW M Hybrid V8 steadily improved, quickly going from newcomer to serious competition for the podium. This first year laid the foundation for an ambitious future in the top endurance class.

Like all new teams and cars, BMW&#39;s debut in the FIA WEC was peppered with adjustments on the back of a relatively steep learning curve. BMW M Team WRT first sought to make it into the top 10, but after mid-season, its performances were noticeably improved. The&nbsp;BMW M Hybrid V8 became a regular among the frontrunners&nbsp;and a dependable contender for a podium finish.

This consistent progress allowed&nbsp;BMW to finish&nbsp;2024 in fifth place in the FIA Endurance&nbsp;Hypercar Manufacturers Championship, an impressive accomplishment&nbsp;for a team&#39;s rookie year in the FIA WEC. BMW beat out&nbsp;Peugeot, Cadillac and&nbsp;Lamborghini, demonstrating its desire and ability&nbsp;to face off against Hypercar&#39;s elite.

<h2>The 24 Hours of Le&nbsp;Mans: Full of Hope</h2>

The most highly anticipated race of this year, the&nbsp;92nd&nbsp;24 Hours of Le&nbsp;Mans, was no walk in the park for BMW M Team WRT&#39;s two cars. The&nbsp;#15 BMW M Hybrid V8 was forced to retire after going off-track, a significant blow for an outfit that held big&nbsp;ambitions for its first&nbsp;participation. The #20 finished the race without making it into the classification, further adding to what was described by&nbsp;BMW as a real whirlwind of emotions.

<h2>A Solid Foundation for the Future</h2>

Despite the setbacks, BMW M Team WRT can be proud of its&nbsp;2024 season. In addition to a noteworthy performance at the&nbsp;6 Hours of&nbsp;Fuji where the BMW M Hybrid V8 clinched second place, the outfit racked up four top 10 finishes and took part in seven&nbsp;Hyperpoles, clear proof of its increasing competitiveness.

Andreas Roos (Head of BMW M Motorsport):&nbsp;A long season in the FIA WEC came to an end here in Bahrain [&hellip;] but overall, we can look back positively on the season, considering where we started in our first FIA WEC appearance in Qatar and where we are now in this fiercely contested world championship. A big thank you to everyone at BMW M Motorsport, BMW M Team WRT, all our drivers&nbsp;and everyone involved in development. We&rsquo;ll take this into the winter break and work hard to come back stronger next year.&nbsp;

Expectations are high for the&nbsp;2025 season. Ren&eacute; Rast,&nbsp;one of BMW M Team WRT&rsquo;s star drivers, is&nbsp;optimistic: So, we can look positively at our performance. We can fight for the top spots on our own strength. That is a great motivation for the 2025 season!&nbsp;

BMW M Team WRT and&nbsp;the BMW M Hybrid V8 have&nbsp;proven they&#39;re ready to fight on&nbsp;the front lines of a highly competitive Hypercar field, taking on&nbsp;next season with confidence and aiming for the&nbsp;podium to write a new chapter in&nbsp;BMW&#39;s history in endurance racing.

Toyota Gazoo Racing is standing by its 2024 line-ups for the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship season, including the 93rd 24 Hours of Le Mans (11-15 June).

Toyota made history once again this year with a sixth World Endurance Manufacturers&rsquo; Championship title on the bounce. To build on this success in 2025, the Japanese carmaker had decided that continuity is the best policy by sticking with the same driver trios.

Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries will therefore share the wheel of the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid for the second consecutive season. The trio won the 6 Hours of Imola. Kobayashi and de Vries finished third in the Hypercar World Endurance Drivers&rsquo; Championship. 
Meanwhile, S&eacute;bastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryō Hirakawa will pursue their collaboration in the #8 sister car Over the last three seasons, this partnership has produced two world titles and a 24 Hours of Le Mans victory.

Kamui Kobayashi, Team Principal and Driver of car #7, explains:&nbsp;&ldquo;We have a top driver line-up in both cars, and I am happy to be part of it again in 2025. The team spirit and cooperation among all the drivers, and the team in general, grows with every race and every season. Thanks to the great support of everyone at Toyota, as well as our partners, we have enjoyed some good results this year, but we are determined to achieve more. Competing in the Hypercar category in WEC is a big challenge and we are fighting against very strong competition, but as a team we continuously push ourselves to perform even better at every event. I expect this to continue next season, with a consistent line-up of drivers who understand how to work together &ndash; as a driver crew, as team members and as part of the Toyota family &ndash; to succeed in endurance racing. I know the whole team is excited by the challenge in 2025.&rdquo;

S&eacute;bastien Buemi, Driver of car #8 and stalwart of the Toyota Gazoo Racing endurance team, adds:&nbsp;&ldquo;This team is a big part of my family. I grew up around Toyota because my family has had a Toyota dealership for over 50 years, and I remember having my photo taken next to the GT-One at the Geneva Motor Show when I was a child. It is amazing to be part of the team since the first season in 2012, having achieved a lot of good results in that time. Thank you to everyone at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing for giving me the opportunity to go for another win at Le Mans and the World Championship.&rdquo;
