Hertz Team JOTA

The team brings together the pedigree of one of the most experienced sports car teams of recent times in JOTA and a collective of global partners including title sponsor Hertz, California luxury brand Singer Group and now Tom Brady's next-generation apparel brand BRADY™.

Stephen Scherr, Hertz Chief Executive Officer, said: "Our sponsorship of Hertz Team JOTA marks the company's return to premium motorsports and underscores Hertz's commitment to speed, reliability, and innovation, both on and off the track.

BRADY™ and Hertz are great brands that pride themselves on teamwork, determination and providing a seamless experience, making this the perfect partnership.

Introducing Hertz Racing Gold

The Hertz Racing Gold livery was designed by Singer and celebrates the centenary year of the Le Mans 24 Hours bringing 100 years of racing heritage into the modern era with Hertz Team JOTA's first race car.

Rob Dickinson, Design Director, Chairman and Founder, Singer Group, Inc, said: "In designing the livery, we wanted to recognize both the past and the future. Growing up in the 1970s and '80s, drivers like Derek Bell, Hurley Haywood and Jacky Ickx were heroes, battling for hours in machines capable of well over 200mph while winning races in a golden era for Porsche. We've always been inspired by motorsport at Singer so, in the centenary year of the Le Mans 24 Hours, this golden livery celebrates all those who have competed at the highest levels of endurance racing, Hertz Team JOTA's first campaign in the World Endurance Championship, and the Porsche 963's role in driving the development of renewable fuels and hybrid technology. Spending time with this fabulous racing car gives us so much inspiration and learning. We can't wait for the first race."

The team is built on a strong foundation as current LMP2 FIA World Endurance Champions and securing 10 podiums in the last 9 years of Le Mans 24 Hours. Dieter Gass is Team Principal, and Portugal's António Félix da Costa, Britain's Will Stevens and China's Yifei Ye will drive Hertz Team JOTA's 'Mighty 38' Porsche 963.

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 of 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 into the class we're keeping the spirit of Le Mans alive and look forward to getting out on track."

Hertz Team JOTA will debut at the 1000 miles of Sebring, the first round of the 2023 World Endurance Championship in Florida on March 17. A further six rounds across, Europe, Asia and the Middle East follow with races of varying distances, from six hours to the longest at 24 hours.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
