Cadillac Confirm Da Costa and Taylor in 2027 lineup

Cadillac Hertz Team Jota has finalised it's 2027 lineup with Antonio Felix da Costa and Ricky Taylor joining for a full season next year.

Felix da Costa departed Aline prior to the 6 Hours of Fuji and instead has signed for Cadillac next year.

He will be joined by IMSA GTP regular Taylor, who is expected to balance is Hypercar duties with a full-time IMSA title bid, the latter of which will be supported by Wayne Taylor Racing.

Taylor is also no stranger to Cadillac's WEC program, having deputised for the injured Wayne Taylor at this year's Lone Star Le Mans.

Norman Nato, Will Stevens, Earl Bamber and Jack Aitken are all set to remain with Cadillac for 2027. However, Alex Lynn and Sebastien Bourdais have confirmed their departures.

This marks the end of Lynn's five-year stint with Cadillac across both IMSA and the WEC. In addition to victory at the 2025 6 Hours of Sao Paulo, Lynn has won the 12 Hours of Sebring twice.

Bourdais has been part of the Cadillac project since its inception, bringing considerable racing experience and securing two WEC podiums at Sao Paulo in 2025 and COTA in 2026.

But, the former ChampCar and IndyCar racer failed to take an overall win at Le Mans, having come painfully close at this year's running of the event.

Bourdais' 2027 plans are yet to be confirmed but he has stated that his immediate focus is on "doing the best job we can together and finishing on a high".

Five of Cadillac's six drivers will contest all nine rounds of the 2027 WEC season; Felix da Costa will miss the 6 Hours of São Paulo due to Formula E commitments in Shanghai. Even so, Eric Warren, vice-president of GM's global motorsports competition, has praised the team's forthcoming driver lineup and has described it as a 'strong foundation' for next season.

Taylor and da Costa will begin their 2027 campaigns at the official season prologue in Qatar on the 21st of March.
