. Rengervdz confident in Cadillac V-LMDh after 'flawless' Sebring IMSA test, but Acura tops the speed charts
Van der Zande shares the Ganassi-run #01 Cadillac V-LMDh with Sebastien Bourdais, and this pair – along with endurance extra– started fourth and finished third in the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. That was the race debut of the GTP-class cars in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar championship, and while Cadillac looked strong, in the final daylight stints of the race, the V-LMDhs were left a tad breathless by the 2.4-liter twin-turbo Acura ARX-06s that finished 1-2.
“We had two really good days of testing,” he said. “I felt for the first time we could really work on the car and the car ran flawlessly. Building up to the Daytona race was something where we were going into the unknown, and now we’re starting to understand the car better and better, which is why we’re improving on the car setup-wise as well.
Laura Wontrop Klauser, GM’s sportscar program manager, was frank in her assessment of the Cadillac V-LMDh which this year faces IMSA opposition from not only Acura but also the Porsche Penske Motorsports 963s and the BMW M Power Hybrid V8s.
