Cadillac Enters Four Cars in the 24 Hours of Le Mans Endurance Race

Cadillac returns to the 24 Hours of Le Mans with four V-Series.R racecars, aiming for victory in the Hypercar class and marking 75 years since its first Le Mans entry.

Cadillac is set to make a strong return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June, fielding four Cadill ac V-Series.R racecars in the prestigious endurance race.

Supported by experienced, championship-winning teams and drivers, this year’s event—held on June 14-15—marks 75 years since Cadillac first competed at Circuit de la Sarthe.

“We’re thrilled to have Cadillac Racing back at Le Mans with four cars in the Hypercar class,” said John Roth, vice president, global Cadillac. “Following our first podium in 2023 and a top-10 finish last year, we aim to build on that momentum and showcase the Cadillac V-Series.R’s technology and performance.”

The Cadillac lineup includes:

Nos. 12 & 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA V-Series.Rs – Earned automatic invitations through full-season participation in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). JOTA Sport, in its first WEC Hypercar season as a works team, fields drivers Jenson Button, Earl Bamber, Sebastien Bourdais, Alex Lynn, Norman Nato, and Will Stevens.
No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R – A full-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IMSA) Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) entry, making its Le Mans debut with Ricky Taylor as the primary driver (full lineup TBA).
No. 311 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R – A full-season IMSA GTP entry from Action Express Racing, returning to Le Mans for the third time with Jack Aitken as the primary driver (additional drivers TBA).

In its first WEC Hypercar season in 2023, Cadillac finished third and fourth at Le Mans. In 2024, it secured second and third in qualifying, with a best race finish of seventh. JOTA Sport, a podium regular in LMP2, placed eighth and ninth last year.

The Cadillac V-Series.R is powered by a 5.5L DOHC V-8 engine developed by GM’s Performance and Racing Propulsion team. Designed in collaboration with Cadillac Racing, Cadillac Design, and chassis constructor Dallara, the car incorporates signature Cadillac styling, including vertical lighting and floating blades.

Cadillac’s Legacy at Le Mans

Cadillac first raced at Le Mans in 1950 with the Collier brothers and Briggs Cunningham entering Series 61 coupes, securing 10th and 11th place finishes. Sydney Allard and Tom Cole Jr. also powered an Allard J2 to third place that year. Cadillac later competed from 2000-2002 with the Northstar LMP.

With a deep racing heritage and a strong lineup, Cadillac Racing is ready to take on Le Mans once again in pursuit of an overall victory.
