Hartley, who clinched his fourth World Endurance Championship title last weekend in Bahrain, will team up with Filipe Albuquerque and Ricky Taylor in WTRAndretti’s #10 Acura ARX-06, while Herta will slot in beside Louis Deletraz and Jordan Taylor in the team’s second GTP entry next year.
Both Hartley and Herta will get to compete in all five Michelin Endurance Cup rounds next year, with the additional drivers for the Daytona 24 Hours to be announced in the coming weeks.
Hartley has already made two IMSA top class appearances for WTR, appearing at Petit Le Mans in 2022 before making a second outing at Daytona earlier this year.
The Kiwi is also an overall race winner in IMSA, having scored a shock victory at Road Atlanta in 2017 when he joined Ryan Dalziel and Scott Sharp in an Extreme Speed Motorsport-entered Nissan Onroak DPi.
Hartley will combine his IMSA enduro programme with a full-season drive in WEC’s Hypercar class next year, where he is again expected to race the #8 Toyota GR010 HYBRID with team-mates Ryo Hirakawa and Sebastien Buemi.
Hartley said: “I really enjoyed my time with WTRAndretti at Petit last year and Daytona this year, so I jumped at the opportunity to compete in the endurance races in 2024 when Wayne [Taylor] called me.
“WTRAndretti knows how to win and going to a two-car team will strengthen the whole operation even further.”
