WEC 2025 – STAR in the best position to drive Cadillacs in Hypercar

Although the partnership between Cadillac and Chip Ganassi Racing will end at the end of the 2024 season, the American manufacturer has found its new WEC partner.

The announced and imminent divorce between the Detroit (Michigan) manufacturer and the Indianapolis team has opened the door to various rumors for the 2025 season. If Action Express Racing returns IMSA entry, another team should join the FIA ​​Endurance Championship.

Several LM P2 teams were announced in the line-up, including United Autosports, TF Sport and Vector Sport, but another contender suddenly emerged on the corridors of the 6 Hours of Imola, the second round of the 2024 FIA WEC season.

According to our information, it is JOTA that should be in charge of running two V-Series.R in 2025. The American commitment should be doubled, which should be the case for every manufacturer during the next season.

When asked about this by AUTOhebdo, Laura Wontrop Klauser, head of the racing program at General Motors, did not want to comment on the matter, saying only that the new partner will be revealed in due course.

« We are constantly evaluating what we want to do with the program, which sometimes leads to changes, sometimes to developing what we are doing, he also told us about the end of the partnership with CGR. In this case, this led to a change. »

Such a change is a real surprise, since the alliance between the Hertz JOTA Team and since last season seems to work perfectly with the platform on the 1,812 kilometers of Qatar (second) as the main result.

By turning to Cadillac, Sam Hignett’s team could however free themselves from this status quo as a customer team…
