Cadillac confirms its line-up for the WEC

If he is indeed one of the 4 drivers chosen to represent Cadillac en IMSA with Renger van der Zande, Pipo Derani and Alexander Sims in 2023, Sébastien Bourdais does not, however, appear in the crew planned for the WEC next year.

For the big debut of the V-LMDh in the world championshipEndurance, Cadillac has decided not to enter its planned IMSA drivers on a double program. Thus, the Detroit prototype will be entrusted to Richard Westbrook, Alex Lynn and Earl Bamber who will have the task of representing the brand at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time since 2002.

« We look forward to taking on new challenges by entering the V-LMDh in the World Endurance Championship, rejoices Cadillac global vice president Rory Harvey. Assembling a team of world-class drivers is paramount to our success next year and Cadillac Racing has achieved just that. »

« I'm really happy to continue with Chip Ganassi Racing and Cadillac, enjoys Earl Bamber, already representing the brand in IMSA. I loved my first season in DPi and now continuing with the LMDh era and the WEC is very exciting. I can't wait to fight for the world championship and achieve another victory at Le Mans."

If only one V-LMdh will be entered full-time in the WEC next year, Cadillac could request other invitations for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, probably for its IMSA drivers like Sébastien Bourdais, Renger van der Zande, Pipo Derani and Alexander Sims.
