Aitken and Taylor to Drive JOTA Cadillacs at Bahrain WEC Rookie Test

The Bahrain session advances Cadillac's One Cadillac plan by giving its IMSA drivers WEC seat time.

Overview

IMSA regulars Jack Aitken and Ricky Taylor will sample Hertz Team JOTA's two Cadillac V-Series.Rs in the Nov. 9 rookie test at Bahrain International Circuit.
Cadillac confirmed Connor Zilisch cannot participate due to insufficient ACCUS points required for an official WEC Hypercar session.
JOTA mainstays Earl Bamber and Alex Lynn are registered only for up to five laps each to assist with setup.
The outing supports cross-program alignment between JOTA in WEC and Cadillac's IMSA partners Action Express and Wayne Taylor Racing.
Both drivers are already confirmed for full-season GTP drives in 2026, making this a development exercise rather than a lineup change.
