Bourdais: Cadillac not the favourite for Daytona 24 Hours win
The Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh performed exceptionally well in qualifying and practice sessions, but driver Sebastien Bourdais believes it may struggle in the final stages of the race. Despite its quick lap times, Bourdais highlighted that the Cadillac is the lightest and least powerful car, and power is crucial at Daytona. He expressed concerns about the car’s raceability and its ability to compete in the closing stages of the race, which often come down to a shootout. Bourdais also acknowledged the Cadillac’s lower top speed compared to some of its rivals, particularly the strong Porsche. The Cadillac’s performance is influenced by its weight and power output, which are slightly lower than its competitors. However, the two Cadillacs will start the race from the front row.
