Confronting both Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) competition and harsh elements, Cadillac Racing battled to a second-place finish in Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen on Sunday, June 23. Renger van der Zande and Sébastien Bourdais drove the No. 01 Cadillac V-Series.R through slick conditions—including a deluge that brought out a 40-minute red flag—to claim their fourth podium in six IMSA® WeatherTech® SportsCar Championship races.

Racing in the No. 31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R, Tom Blomqvist, Pipo Derani and Jack Aitken persevered to finish eighth.

The No. 01 team also earned the VP Racing Fuels Front Runner Award in the GTP class, awarded to the team that leads the most laps in the most races through the first half of the season.

Next, Cadillac Racing heads to Wisconsin for Road America on August 4.

Always a grueling race, this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans proved especially challenging for Cadillac Racing. Overnight and afternoon rains drenched the Circuit de la Sarthe, and multiple on-track incidents dispatched the safety car for more than five hours.

In an intense display of performance, strategy and teamwork, Cadillac Racing persevered. Despite the bitter conditions, No. 2 Cadillac V-Series.R—driven by Earl Bamber and Alex Lynn with support from Alex Palou—fought hard, leading 23 of 311 laps, though ultimately ending in seventh place.

NO PERFECT FORMULA

With the dawn of a new era of hybrid prototype racing, Cadillac Racing seizes the moment to compete against the industry's finest.

“No Perfect Formula” premieres May 31, 2024 at 7 p.m. EST, on the Hagerty channel, #2545 on the Samsung TV Plus app on Samsung Smart TVs, Galaxy devices and on the web. Global audiences can view it on Hagerty’s Facebook.

DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE

Co-developed by Cadillac Racing, Cadillac Design and Dallara, the final V-Series.R design was informed by the Project GTP Hypercar that debuted last summer. It incorporates distinctive Cadillac design elements such as vertical lighting and floating blades.

The livery designs for the three all-new electrified V-Series.R race cars represent a different bold color from the Cadillac V-Series emblem—No. 01 in gold, No. 02 in blue and red on No. 31.
