🗣️'We were very hardware constrained and shipping has become quite challenging in terms of lead time.' Cadillac will have to “work around” its failure to test its new LMDh prototype on any European tracks ahead of its 2023 FIAWEC campaign ⬇️

Laura Wontrop Klauser, sportscar programme manager at Cadillac parent company General Motors, conceded that the absence of European test miles for the Chip Ganassi Racing squad that will field a single V-LMDh in the WEC “could be called a handicap”.

Cadillac opted to focus testing with its LMDh developed in conjunction with Dallara entirely on home ground in the US from its first shakedown in early July through to its debut in last month’s opening round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship at Daytona where Ganassi fielded its WEC entry alongside the car it will campaign in North America.

“Now that we have gone racing [at Daytona in January], we’re going to see if we can get some testing scheduled in Europe in the spring,” she explained. Klauser stressed the value of racing at Sebring, where the V-LMDh will compete in the WEC round with Ganassi and the IMSA 12-hour event with Ganassi and Action Express Racing on 17 and 18 March respectively.
