IMSA champion Action Express explains key to Cadillac success
Last season, Pipo Derani and Alexander Sims led the team to victory in the GTP title in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, with Jack Aitken joining them for the Endurance Cup. This year, Derani and Aitken will form the full-time lineup, replacing Sims who moved to Corvette’s GTD program. Tom Blomqvist, the current IMSA DPi champion and two-time winner of the Daytona 24 Hours, will co-drive in non-conflicting endurance rounds while focusing on his rookie campaign in the IndyCar Series. Action Express Racing feels well-prepared for the upcoming season, with significant progress made in their Cadillac program thanks to IMSA’s support. The team had a successful test session with Blomqvist last month, allowing the driver to become familiar with the team and its operations. Mitchum, the director of operations, believes that the team’s driver lineup is one of the strongest they have had, with the drivers’ pre-existing friendship and understanding leading to a competitive and productive dynamic.
