The stage is set for a thrilling spectacle at the 82nd Members’ Meeting, presented by Audrain Motorsport, as Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA brings its highly anticipated 2025 World Endurance Championship (WEC) car to the Goodwood Motor Circuit. On Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 April, one of the team’s Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh hypercars will complete a series of high-speed demonstration laps, offering fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness a current WEC Hypercar in action on the iconic circuit.
A Historic Debut for the Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh
This year’s event marks a historic milestone for both Goodwood and the sport of endurance racing, as Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA’s 2025 Hypercar makes its European debut at Goodwood following its first race in Qatar earlier in February. As part of the world-class line-up for the weekend, the Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh will be piloted by the highly talented Will Stevens and Alex Lynn. The duo will take on the fast, flowing layout of the Goodwood Motor Circuit, creating an audible feast of motorsport for spectators, as the hypercar’s raw power echoes through the venue.
For motorsport enthusiasts, this will be the first time in decades that a top-tier Hypercar from the World Endurance Championship will have raced around the Motor Circuit since it closed in the 1960s. The excitement surrounding this event is palpable, especially as Goodwood’s Road Racing Club Members and their guests are treated to an unforgettable motorsport experience.
Celebrating JOTA Sport’s Milestones
2025 is a year of new beginnings and significant celebrations for JOTA Sport, the number one British team competing in the WEC. Not only is the team joining forces with American automotive powerhouse Cadillac, but JOTA Sport is also marking its 25th anniversary and 20 years of competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. To commemorate these remarkable achievements, the team will be showcasing some of its most iconic cars at the Members’ Meeting, including Le Mans class winners and the Hertz Team JOTA Porsche 963 LMDh, which competed in the 2024 edition of the legendary race.
These historic machines will be on display in the paddocks, allowing fans to marvel at the engineering excellence that has driven JOTA Sport to the pinnacle of endurance racing. And, while the cars will ultimately make their way to the Silverstone Museum, the 82nd Members’ Meeting will be their first stop.
A Word from the Team’s Key Figures
David Clark, Co-Founder and Director of Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA, shared his excitement for the event: “I have such affection for Goodwood and a strong personal history there, so it’s always a special joy for me when JOTA does anything at Goodwood.
