Two-time IMSA champion Pipo Derani will not return to Whelen Cadillac Racing in 2025, as he and Action Express Racing have mutually agreed to part ways at the end of the season. Derani expressed his gratitude for the successful partnership, which resulted in two championships, two endurance championships, and numerous race wins and pole positions. He aims to secure a third championship this year before both parties go their separate ways. Derani’s accomplishments include winning the 2021 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship DPi title and the successor GTP championship in 2022. His departure marks the first confirmed driver change in GTP for the upcoming season, with speculation mounting around potential replacements for Cadillac Racing. Action Express Racing and Cadillac have not yet confirmed their plans for the future partnership beyond this year.
