Cadillac commits to entering six-hour WEC races with two drivers
Ganassi has announced that they will only be running a third driver for the longer races in the 2024 WEC season, which includes the Qatar 1812km, Le Mans 24 Hours, and Bahrain 8 Hours. The team’s goal is to keep it simple and find a quicker way to compete. While the full line-up for each race will only be confirmed ahead of time, familiar drivers from the Ganassi Cadillac squad in the IMSA SportsCar Championship are expected to fill the third seat for the WEC races. Drivers Sebastien Bourdais and Renger van der Zande would be obvious candidates for the Qatar and Bahrain races. There is a possibility that reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou could join the team for the Le Mans race, as he recently raced with Ganassi in the Daytona 24 Hours. The scheduling of an IndyCar test has been adjusted to allow Ganassi’s endurance drivers, Scott Dixon and Tom Blomqvist, to make it to Le Mans in time for practice. Action Express Racing, another Cadillac team, is also expected to secure a spot on the Le Mans grid.
