Back to last September when Cadillac Racing was at Imola Circuit to test their LMDh car ahead of the 2024 season, during which the Italian track will host a round of the FIA WEC (World Endurance Championship). I've already uploaded a couple of videos from this test but I hadn't yet shared with you the dry part of the second day.
So enjoy watching the V-Series.R in all its glory, in an exposed gloss carbon fiber finish, pushing on the Italian track!
The Cadillac has been developed under the "Le Mans Daytona h" (LMDh) regulations which allows it to be fielded alongside Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) entries in the Hypercar class of the FIA WEC or in the GTP class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship. Compared to Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) rule set, in which there's much more freedom in designing the car, LMDh teams are forced to rely on one of the 4 chassis manufacturers chosen by ACO and IMSA (Dallara, Ligier, Multimatic and Oreca) in order to have a base from which to build their own vehicle. Cadillac continued their partnership with Dallara, taking most of the experience from their previous DPi-V.R into the new project.
The V-Series.R is powered by a Cadillac LMC55R 5.5-litre DOHC V8 linked to a 7-speed sequential gearbox and to the mandatory 50kW hybrid system.
