Bourdais: Cadillac not the favourite for Daytona 24 Hours win
The Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh performed exceptionally well in qualifying and practice sessions, showing impressive speed. However, driver Sebastien Bourdais believes that it may struggle in the final stages of the race due to its lighter weight and lower power compared to its competitors. Bourdais expressed concerns about the car’s ability to compete in a sprint scenario during the closing hour, where power plays a crucial role. He noted that the Cadillac lacks top speed against cars like the Porsche. Despite these concerns, Cadillac’s V-Series.R will start the race from the front row alongside the Action Express Racing team. The Daytona endurance classic will begin at 13:40 local time in Florida.
