Cadillac Racing expands to two-car Hypercar program for 2025 FIA WEC season

PARIS (Jan. 13, 2025) – Cadillac Racing, in conjunction with Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA, revealed the livery of its two Hypercar racecars that will contest the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season.

Highlighting the event at Cadillac City Paris, the iconic brand’s flagship EV store and experience center, was the unveiling of the Nos. 12 and 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R racecars. Guests included principals from General Motors, Cadillac Racing, JOTA Sport, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

“The unveiling of the Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R livery here at our iconic flagship in Paris reflects Cadillac’s unwavering commitment to innovation and performance on the global stage,” said Pere Brugal, Managing Director and President, GM Europe.

“As we expand our footprint in Europe, this partnership represents a powerful opportunity to showcase Cadillac’s pioneering spirit in one of the most prestigious racing championships in the world.

“We are proud to work alongside JOTA Sport and Hertz to bring our V-Series.R to life and look forward to an exciting season ahead.”

Cadillac Racing has doubled its WEC factory program entries for its third season of global Hypercar competition, with championship-winning JOTA Sport campaigning the cars in its first WEC season as a works team.

OTA Sport is one of the most experienced and successful sports car racing teams in recent history, having finished on the podium in LMP2 at Le Mans 10 times, including second and third overall in 2017. Owned in part by affiliates of Knighthead Capital Management, LLC and sponsored by global car rental company Hertz and seven-time champion and entrepreneur Tom Brady, the England-based team entered the Hypercar class as a privateer in 2023.

”The unveiling of the Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.R livery today is the culmination of an enormous amount of hard work and commitment on all sides of this new motorsport family. It’s a very proud moment for the entire group as we unveil this stunning race machine,” said David Clark, Co-Founder and Director, Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA. “This moment represents more than our aesthetic for the year ahead, it represents the next step for both race-winning, record-setting brands within the FIA World Endurance Championship. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hertz for being incredible partners to us on this journey and to show our gratitude to GM/Cadillac for having the belief in us, not just in our ability to perform but also for their trust in the level that we are going to represent one of their most prestigious brands on a global stage. We can’t wait to see what we can do together this year.”

Drivers Will Stevens, 2009 Formula One champion Jenson Button and Norman Nato return to the team that earned a historic victory at Spa-Francorchamps for a privateer and second successive FIA Hypercar Team World Cup Championship this past season. They will be joined by Earl Bamber and Alex Lynn, who return as Cadillac Racing teammates for the third consecutive WEC season and fourth overall, and Sebastien Bourdais. Driver pairings will be announced at a later date.

The eight-race global calendar begins February 20-21 with the annual WEC Prologue leading into the Qatar Airways Qatar 1812Km on February 28 at the Lusail International Circuit. The race will mark the second consecutive year of the season opener on the 5.419-kilometer (3.367-mile), 16-turn circuit north of Doha, Qatar.

For more than a century, racing has provided a testbed for Cadillac to transfer knowledge and technology between racecars and production vehicles, as well as a way to build a fanbase for the brand around the world.

The Cadillac V-Series.R, powered by the purpose-built 5.5-liter DPOHC V8 engine, marks the third-generation Cadillac prototype racecar and the brand’s first hybrid electrified race car. Codeveloped by Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing and chassis constructor Dallara, the racecar represents the fifth generation of the V-Series, incorporating key Cadillac V-Series production car design elements such as vertical lighting and floating blades.

SOUTH BOSTON, VA…..Competitors in South Boston Speedway’s Late Model Stock Car Division and Limited Sportsman Division will race on a new tire during the 2025 season.

South Boston Speedway and Hoosier Racing Tire officials announced that competitors will race on Hoosier’s new F45* (star) tire, a tire developed by Hoosier Racing Tires that will provide competitors a tire offering greater durability and consistency. The new F45* (star) tire will also be used by the CARS Tour in 2025.

“We’re extremely excited about this,” said South Boston Speedway General Manager Brandon Brown. “We’ve worked very hard with Hoosier to get to this point. After the test here in December and the feedback we got, we’re confident this F45* tire will put on great racing for our fans and be a tire our competitors are extremely pleased with. A huge thanks to Hoosier, the CARS Tour, and our friends at all the tracks running Late Model Stock Cars for the collaboration on this effort.”

The new Hoosier F45* tire retains the same compound of Hoosier Racing Tires’ F45 tire that was used in 2024, but the construction of the tire will be stronger and more durable.

According to Hoosier representatives, all F45* tires will be within a half-inch chalk mark. To denote the difference between the two tires teams will begin to see a * (star) on the compound tag of the tire.

It was tested at South Boston Speedway by two-time NASCAR national champion and seven-time South Boston Speedway champion Peyton Sellers of Danville, Virginia, and Blake Stallings of Danville, Virginia, the runner-up to Sellers in the 2024 South Boston Speedway title chase.

Prior to the test at South Boston Speedway the tire was tested at Florence (South Carolina) Motor Speedway with driver Brent Crews who earned three wins, finished fifth in the CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car standings and earned the CARS Tour’s Rookie of the Year award while competing out of the Kevin Harvick Inc. stable.

“I’m looking for the best drivability, what’s going to put on the best show for the fans, what allows you to be able to go off into the corner and load the right-side tires up and not have the car get out from under you,” Sellers explained.

“You want to have guys being able to race side-by-side, door-to-door, and having good racing knowing the car is not going to be inconsistent in any way. At the end of the day, you want something that is going to be very forgiving, rolling in on the top side, rolling in on the bottom side, something that is not instantly going to lose grip and have a spike in any way where it gets the driver out from under him.”

Stallings notes that having a tire that can be used at a variety of tracks and across multiple series will help Late Model Stock Car Division racing.

“Getting a stable tire that works at a variety of racetracks and drives competitively at all of the racetracks is obviously the ultimate goal,” Stallings pointed out. “We raced at two different tracks last year that were on different tires. Putting everybody on the same playing field is going to be a huge step in the right direction as far as driving costs down in Late Model Stock Car racing.”

Stallings is grateful to Hoosier for taking steps to attempt to help competitors and speedways.

“All of the effort Hoosier is putting in to help grassroots racing helps Late Model Stock Car racing get stronger,” Stallings pointed out. “Helping competitors to be able to go from one track to another and not have to worry about what kind of tires they are on and getting some consistency back into Late Model Stock Car racing with the tire selection is going to help racing.

“It’s very gratifying to see Hoosier invest back into grassroots and Late Model Stock Car racing to keep us at a level where we are extremely competitive but also making it affordable the way grassroots racing should be.”

Hoosier Tire dealer Jimmie Doughton who works with Hoosier Tire South said the company was looking for a safe tire that will be consistent and make the racing better.

What we’re striving for is a tire that will be safe and more consistent,” he said. “We’re looking after the racer, something they like and will make the racing better.”

South Boston Speedway opens its 2025 season on Saturday afternoon, March 22 with the SMART Modified Tour’s King of the Modifieds race featuring Tour-Type Modifieds in a 125-lap race. In addition, the track’s Sentara Health Late Model Stock Car Division competitors will be featured in twin $2,500-to-win 50-lap races. Other divisions will be announced at a later date.

Advance tickets are priced at $20 each. Tickets may be purchased online on South Boston Speedway’s website, www.southbostonspeedway.com or by calling the speedway office at 434-572-4947 or toll free at 1-877-440-1540 during regular business hours.

Tickets at the gate on race day will be $25 each. Seniors ages 65 and older, military, healthcare workers, and students (with ID) can purchase tickets for $20 each at the gate on race day only. Children ages 12 and under are admitted free.

Tari Bringing Home Repair Network Limited and PSA Systems to AGMC Racing by Simpson Motorsport BMW M4 GT4

DUBAI (January 8, 2024) – Following a 2024 season that included eight podiums in eight races in World Racing League (WRL) endurance races in the United States, Tiger Tari is starting the new year on a bigger stage in the middle east.

Tari is one of four drivers in the No. 438 ACMC Racing by Simpson BMW M4 GT4 who will race together in this weekend’s Michelin 24 Hours of Dubai, January 10 – 12 on the Dubai Autodrome.

Tari, a first-generation American proud to carry the stars and stripes around the world, is one of just 17 Americans on the extensive entry list for the race. Currently, 63 cars piloted by 267 drivers are entered in the twice-around-the-clock classic.

Previously, Tari and his Star Spangled Racing program competed in IMSA’s Lamborghini Super Trofeo championship.

“I had a great 2024, but it was intentionally under the radar compared to 2023 in the IMSA series,” Tari said. “I focused on improving my driving and my racing and it paid off. Starting 2025 in Dubai is the next step in that, competing in my first true professional 24 hour race on a big stage and am thrilled to bring Home Repair Network Limited and PSA Systems along with us on this BMW M4 GT4.”

Tari, classified as an AM driver for the race, will team with fellow AMs Timothy Docker (Great Britain) and William Tewiah (Ghana), along with semi-pro drivers Tudor Tudurachi (Romania) and Ramez Azzam (Canada) in a truly international line-up.

The BMW M4 GT4 is the same make and model of race car that Tari will use for American races during the 2025 season.

“The BMW M4 GT4 is one of the most fun race cars I’ve every driven,” Tari said. “I’m above average height, so the car really and truly fits me safely, unlike many of the GT3 and GT4 platforms that I’ve driven in the past. We can run this BMW M4 GT4 in so many places, so our future plans for Star Spangled Racing are still to be decided, but we’re going to get a great feel for this car over 24 hours and think we can be competitive.”

Joining Tari is Dubai is longtime partner PSA Systems, providing services to over 1,500 restoration contractors with Proven Software Applications for medium to large sized businesses. Home Repair Network Limited remains a part of his program as well as he travels internationally. HRNL provides impartial & accurate property claims validation, settlement and building repair services to many of the UK’s leading Insurance Co’s, Brokers and Loss Adjusters. Through its networks of locally based Building Damage Surveyors and Repair Contractors, all linked real time through an intelligent claims management platform, HRNL is able to deliver a rapid and responsive property repair service across all of the UK when assistance is requested.

Tari is on track at the Dubai Autodrome for the first time on Friday, January 10 at 9 a.m. local time, which is 12 a.m. midnight on the East Coast of the United States. The race begins at 1 p.m. local time on Saturday, January 11 (4 a.m. ET) and ends a full 24 hours later.

NATURAL BRIDGE, Va. (Jan. 6, 2025) – One year after being named promoter of Natural Bridge Speedway, Amanda Bradley is proud to announce that she has purchased the three-eighths-mile dirt oval from Joe Glassford.

“It was an honor to be named promoter of Natural Bridge Speedway one season ago and now I’m thrilled to say that I’ve acquired the facility from Joe Glassford and JCG Adventures,” said Bradley. “The chance to take ownership of Natural Bridge Speedway was one I couldn’t pass up.

“We’ve already brought in new clay for the racing surface, and we are also planning on installing new lights around the facility. I’m excited to continue renovating the track and make it the best dirt track in Virginia. With the team I have behind me, I feel like we can make it happen.”

Plans are already being made for the 2025 season, which includes the addition of a Stock 4 class for the upcoming season. Bradley also aspires to bring back super late models, truck and tractor pulls and demolition derbies to Natural Bridge in the near future.
