Cadillac has no plans for customer Hypercars in WEC or IMSA
Laura Wontrop Klauser, the sportscar racing programme boss at Cadillac parent company General Motors, stated that there are no plans to follow Porsche in selling cars to independent teams in either series. She mentioned that focusing on the Ganassi-run Cadillac Racing and Action Express Racing factory teams in the WEC and IMSA marks a departure from Cadillac’s previous strategy with the DPi-V.R Daytona Prototype international of 2017-22. Customer cars were previously raced by various squads in IMSA alongside semi-works entries. Klauser explained that the rejection of Cadillac’s Formula 1 entry could potentially free up finances to expand the LMDh programme, but no decision has been made yet. The Hypercar field is expected to increase by three cars, and the GTP class in IMSA currently has only 10 full-season entries.
