Drivers for the new Cadillac Hertz Team Jota are still to be decided.<\/p>\n

Jota Sport currently competes in the World Endurance Championship as a Porsche customer team<\/a><\/strong>, competing with a pair of Porsche 963 LMDh race cars. It managed a win at round three held in Belgium and was a runner-up in the season-opening round held in Qatar.<\/p>\n

2023 Cadillac V-Series.R<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cJota has always strived to become a manufacturer team, so now joining forces with Cadillac is the realization of this goal,\u201d Sam Hignett, Jota Sport’s founder, said in a statement. \u201cHaving competed against the Cadillac V-Series.R for the last two seasons, we have experienced how competitive it is and we are genuinely honored to be entrusted with fielding its cars from 2025 onward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cadillac also competes with the V-Series.R LMDh<\/strong> in the premier GTP class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship. The automaker plans to announce its 2025 GTP program at a later date.<\/p>\n

The V-Series.R LMDh marks the third generation of Cadillac prototype race cars, and the automaker’s first hybrid race car. It features a chassis from Italy’s Dallara, one of the four suppliers of chassis for LMDh cars, and uses a 5.5-liter V-8 as the internal-combustion component of its hybrid powertrain<\/strong>. Under LMDh rules, the powertrain’s combined output at any time must be capped at 670 hp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
