VIDEO – The Cadillac LMDh and the Porsche 963 being tested at Sebring

La Cadillac LMDh et la Porsche 963 se sont retrouvées pour une séance d’essais en commun à Sebring. Une première séance de roulage commune pour deux contructeurs LMDh. L’occasion d’essuyer les plâtres et de mettre en commun les soucis.

" The collaboration (with Porsche. Editor’s note) on the development of the hybrid system has been incredible. This allowed for a more efficient timeline for problem identification and resolution, said Laura Wontrop Klauser, responsible for the General Motors competition program. It's great to work closely with those we're competing against, as we all want to make sure the spec parts are good and we can run them on the track. » Sébastien Bourdais notably had the opportunity to drive the Cadillac.

On the Porsche side, Laurens Vanthoor took the wheel. “This is going to be a golden age of motorsport, rejoices the Belgian. I think these cars look phenomenal with different styling between the Porsche and the Cadillac, especially in terms of sound. We haven't been able to do that for 20 years and victories in the biggest races will be particularly special. » 

Acura was also scheduled to participate in this session, to be found in video below via the YouTube channel IMSA TV, but the shakedown delay changed plans.
