Cadillac has no plans for customer Hypercars in WEC or IMSA
Laura Wontrop Klauser, the sportscar racing program boss at General Motors, confirmed that Cadillac does not currently have plans to sell cars to independent teams like Porsche did. She emphasized that customer cars are not in the works at present, although nothing is set in stone in motorsport. Cadillac has shifted its focus to its Ganassi-run Cadillac Racing and Action Express Racing factory teams in the WEC and IMSA, a departure from their previous strategy with the DPi-V.R Daytona Prototype international. Klauser mentioned that the change in philosophy is due to a “different car, different program” mindset. While Cadillac has not decided on expanding to two cars in the WEC for 2025, there are discussions on the matter. Additionally, BMW is still deliberating on offering customer versions of its M Hybrid LMDh, considering factors like engineering support and spare parts.
