24h Le Mans
Next year, Cadillac will once again compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with the same number of cars as 2023.
The #2 Cadillac V-Series.R will take part in eight FIA WEC rounds kicking off on 2 March 2024 at the Qatar 1812 km. The American constructor will also once again compete in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with two cars: the #01 V-Series.R and the #31 fielded by Whelen Engineering. Their season will get underway at the Rolex 24 at Daytona on 25-28 January. Cadillac hopes to clinch three invitations to the 92nd 24 Hours of Le Mans on 12-16 June.
GM Sports Car Racing Programme Manager Laura Wontrop Klauser: "We’re very excited to dive into the second year of our Cadillac V-Series.R programme. We are very proud of what we accomplished in the first year and we’ve learned so much racing in two series. We have a great foundation to build on. Having 2024 as a carry-over year will allow us the opportunity to focus entirely on the car and understanding it better instead of having to balance car learning with new team and new series learning as we did in 2023."
Cadillac is currently in fourth place in the FIA Endurance Hypercar Manufacturers standings in a duel with Porsche for third. In the U.S., Cadillac points at the top of the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup Manufacturers classification and is close to scoring second place in the IMSA GTP Manufacturers standings going into the season final this weekend at Petit Le Mans. The Cadillac V-Series.R has reached the top step on the podium twice so far this season.
At this year's 24 Hours Centenary, the #2 Cadillac V-Series.R shared by Earl Bamber/Alex Lynn/Richard Westbrook finished third overall ahead of the #3 driven by Bourdais/Van der Zande/Dixon. After leaving the track early in the race, the #311 entered by Action Express Racing made it to the chequered flag in 17th place.
