« Jota brings new energy to Cadillac project, enthuses Earl Bamber. They have a lot of knowledge and know how to win races. We would like to have ten more days of testing before we get to Qatar, but we are limited, so this is the first big block to gather information before we head into the short Christmas break, do our homework and move on to the next test. »

« This first test was good, as was the relationship with Cadillac, General Motors and Dallara. (builder of the Cadillac V-Series.R chassis. Editor's note), estimates Bob Friend, the team manager. We learn each other's language and recover from this first day of school. It seems that the feedback from the drivers matches the current state of the car well. The reason we brought so many people to this test is that we need to learn quickly before moving on to the next test where we can go further. The next step is to run two cars at the same time for at least a while, making sure not to step on each other's toes. »

Hertz Team JOTA and Cadillac still have some time to get to know each other before the start of the 2025 season, the first race of which is scheduled for February 28 with the 1812 km of Qatar.
