Cadillac confirms two-driver Hypercar line-up as Imola WEC entry list announced
Earl Bamber and Alex Lynn will drive the #2 Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh in the upcoming Imola 6 Hours, the second round of the 2024 WEC season. This duo arrangement goes against the norm of having three drivers in Hypercar and LMP1 races, showing Chip Ganassi’s aim to simplify the team structure. Team founder Chip Ganassi expressed the strategy of using only two drivers, highlighting performance benefits over a six-hour race. Despite initial hesitation from Cadillac, additional drivers such as Sebastien Bourdais and Alex Palou will join Bamber and Lynn for specific endurance races, with a final lineup confirmation before each event. The partnership between Cadillac and Ganassi in sportscars will conclude after this season, marking the end of a successful collaboration in motorsport.
