Cadillac Racing for a 6th win at 12 Hours of Sebring

Cadillac Racing has won five times at the prestigious Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring since 2017 and is hoping the 74th running will produce victory number six.  In all, Cadillac won Sebring in 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023. They finished runner-up in 2024 and 2018 and Cadillac Racing has recorded five pole starts, including the from 2020-2024.

Should Cadillac score another victory they would be in sole possession of fourth place overall of all-time Sebring wins by manufacturer.

Action Express Racing

In January, the #31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R run by Action Express Racing finished second in the Rolex 24 at Daytona with drivers Jack Aitken, Earl Bamber, Fredreick Vesti and Connor Zilisch.

Zilisch is off to a full season of NASCAR Cup Series racing, but Aitken, Bamber and Vesti will try to finish one spot better than in Daytona. Bamber won this race with Cadillac in 2022 with Neel Jani and Alex Lynn, while Aiken won it in 2023 with Pipo Derani and Alexander Sims, also in a Cadillac.

 Jack Aitken: “After coming close in Daytona I can’t wait to head back to Sebring where we were very strong last year. We’ve got a really good run going, so riding that momentum into one of my favorite events of the year will be fun. I’m expecting our Cadillac V.Series R to be just as strong but getting to know our Evo package there during practice will be key.” 

Earl Bamber: “Can’t wait to go back to Sebring. We are really successful at the moment with three podiums in a row, so we are looking to build on that. We came close in Daytona, and I know the team has put a lot of work in and Sebring is one of our stronger tracks. I just can‘t wait to get out there and fight for more podiums and wins.”

Frederik Vesti: “Sebring is one of my favorite tracks of the year. It’s such a cool track and a huge challenge engineering and driving and with the bumpy surface and the track is usually very very hot as well. So, for sure a challenge but the challenge makes it very cool. Last year I had a really good run racing against the competition but had the lead for the majority of my stints which was awesome of the first time in IMSA. So definitely motivated to get back and show that the Whelen Cadillac 31 can do. We have had some good races, but it’s no time to think about what happened in the past, it’s time to focus ahead and do everything we can to win. I’m very confident we are going to have a strong car and challenge for the win and that’s what we are going for.”

Wayne Taylor Racing

Wayne Taylor Racing, which fields the #10 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R for Ricky Taylor, Filipe Albuquerque, Will Stevens and the #40 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R Jordan Taylor, Louis Deletraz, Colton Herta, has had plenty of success in Sebring.

Filipe Albuquerque: “It feels very special to drive the Cadillac V-Series.R anywhere, but in Sebring with all those bumps it’s very hard, but something that the Cadillac V-Series.R is made for. It’s tough, it’s hard on every part of the car. Last year, I had a blast driving it. Unfortunately we didn’t get the results that we were expecting. But this year when we were testing, we were one of the fastest in the morning. So I want to go back and drive the Cadillac through those bumps. It is hard and a challenge to have a setup that can cope with the bumps at those speeds but it is a pleasure to drive.”

Will Stevens: “I think the Cadillac V-Series.R has always performed well at Sebring and I think the car has always handled bumps very well, so it gives us an element of comfort that helps for sure.” 

Ricky Taylor: “The Cadillac V-Series.R has always been strong at Sebring. The team at GM and Dallara did a great job creating a car that can perform in all conditions and all track surfaces which is what you need over 12 hours at Sebring.”

Louis Deletraz: “I’m confident we’ll have a strong package, the Cadillac V-Series.R always feels good around the bumps at Sebring. It’s also great to have Colton back with us, it brings back good memories from our win in 2024. The goal is of course to repeat that this year, but first we need to stay focused and survive the first 8–10 hours while keeping ourselves at the front. The fight always intensifies at the end once it gets dark.”

Colton Herta: “This will be my first time at Sebring driving the Cadillac V-Series.R, so I’m excited to see what the car is like over the bumps. From talking to my teammates and based on the team’s test, the car typically responds well to the track.”

Jordan Taylor: “The Cadillac V-Series.R seems to be one of the cars that has a big operating window which makes it suit endurance racing so well. Looking at Sebring, the conditions change so much throughout the race that you need to have a car that can suit many different conditions.” Source: Cadillac Racing
