JOTA Sport has unveiled the livery which adorn its customer Porsche 963 when it makes its debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship later this year.
The car, which is gold and red, is sponsored by car hire company Hertz, as well as Porsche vehicle specialists Singer and American NFL legend Tom Brady.
The car will make its debut in a race preceding the 24 Hours of Le Mans, although whether that will be at the 6 hour races at Portimao or Spa, both to be held next month, is currently not certain.
As previously announced, the driver line up in the car will be Porsche works driver Antonio Felix da Costa, Yifei Ye, who is affiliated with Porsche Asia, and Will Stevens.
In the meantime, Ye and Stevens will compete in #48 JOTA Oreca 07 Gibson, alongside David Beckmann, at the 1000 Miles of Sebring, the opening round of the 2023 WEC season. JOTA will also have another full season LMP2 car, crewed by David Heinemier Hansson, Oliver Rasmussen and Pietro Fittipladi.
David Clark and Sam Hignett, JOTA co-owners, said: “As a team, we have demonstrated our abilities to perform, securing 10 podiums in the last 9 years at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
“Thanks to the support of our new partners, we’re stepping up to the Hypercar class and Hertz Team JOTA will be competing against some of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers.
“We have a strong, experienced team and as one of the few private entries in the class, we’re keeping the spirit of Le Mans alive and look forward to getting out on track.”
