Cadillac Racing's formidable lineup boasts drivers with an illustrious track record, including multiple overall and class victories at Circuit de la Sarthe, as well as numerous IndyCar and IMSA prototype titles. The No. 2 Cadillac V-Series.R, driven by Earl Bamber, Alex Lynn, and Alex Palou, secured an automatic entry based on its full-season participation in the WEC. Meanwhile, the No. 3 Cadillac V-Series.R, led by Sébastien Bourdais, Renger van der Zande, and Scott Dixon, will represent the full-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship entrant in the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class. Lastly, the No. 311 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R, helmed by reigning IMSA GTP champion Pipo Derani and Jack Aitken, is set to make waves with its formidable lineup.
