Cadillac Racing
Cadillac Racing can refer to two separate racing efforts by Cadillac.
The first pertains to an effort that featured Northstar LMP prototype vehicles from 2000 until 2002 in the American Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The second pertains to the current activity featuring a pair of CTV-V Coupes in the Pirelli World Challenge Series.
After running the Cadillac Northstar LMP project in the American Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 2000 until 2002, General Motors returned to the track in 2012 with a pair of formidable CTS-V Coupe race cars to participate in the Pirelli World Challenge Series title.
After earning four victories and 14 podiums, the team won the World Challenge Manufacturer’s Championship and the World Challenge GT Driver’s Championship.
The V race cars aren’t street legal but maintain their allegiance to the performance DNA of the production CTS-V.
The CTS-V race car used by Cadillac Racing is based on the production Cadillac CTS-V Coupe.
