Cadillac hurt by mid-season IMSA tyre switch, says Bourdais
Bourdais and Renger van der Zande are currently in sixth place in the standings, having won one race so far in their #01 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac V-Series.R. Since the change in tire compounds three races ago, Cadillac’s performance has been affected, with no finishes higher than fourth place. The harder tire from Michelin has made it more challenging for them to get the most out of it compared to other teams. The Balance of Performance has contributed to close and competitive racing with different winners. The new GTP cars have a different combination of heavier weight, better tires, and less downforce, requiring patience and pushing hard. A recent test at IMS improved their pace for the most recent race at Road America.
