Ilott: "Great surprise" to land Jota WEC drive after IndyCar exit

The Briton will join Norman Nato and Will Stevens in Jota's #12 Porsche 963 as the Hertz-backed operation expands to two Hypercar entries. Jenson Button, the 2009 Formula 1 world champion, will join the #38 crew alongside Phil Hanson and Oliver Rasmussen.

Speaking on stage at the Autosport International Show on Saturday, Ilott admitted he had been expecting to remain with Juncos-Hollinger for a third full season with the squad he joined for the final three rounds of the 2021 campaign, but welcomed the chance to revisit a sportscar career that began promisingly in Ferrari GT machinery the same year.
