Ilott: "Great surprise" to land Jota WEC drive after IndyCar exit
British driver Callum Ilott will be joining Jota’s #12 Porsche 963 team alongside Norman Nato and Will Stevens as the Hertz-backed operation expands to two Hypercar entries. Additionally, former Formula 1 champion Jenson Button will join the #38 crew with Phil Hanson and Oliver Rasmussen. Ilott expressed his surprise at the opportunity to join Jota, as he had originally planned to stay in IndyCar. After discussions with Jota team boss Sam Hignett, Ilott quickly sealed the deal to join the team. He has already had the chance to drive the 963 and was impressed by its versatility and complexity.
