“We have six extremely strong drivers with a combination of experience and fresh eyes on the Cadillac program,” said Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA team principal, Dieter Gass.

“Each of these drivers brings something unique to the table, and as a team, our job was to establish which combinations made the most sense to maximize the overall strengths of the group. While character and personality play a big role in team dynamics, driving style and preferences were additionally key factors in determining who would be paired in each car. We took our time over this process, and we’re really looking forward to seeing what both trios can achieve.”

“Getting that chemistry right, not only between the drivers, but within the entire team is something we pride ourselves on,” reflected Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA Co-Founder, David Clark. “There’s no one individual more important than the rest. Absolutely everyone has their role to play, and creating the right dynamic in which everyone can achieve their best is crucial to on-track success for us.”
