“We look forward to getting back on the track,” said Don Butler, vice president for Cadillac marketing. “We know the competition will be tough, but we’re also confident in our performance credentials. The CTS-VCoupe provides a great foundation for building a world-class racecar.”
Johnny O’Connell, a three-time GT1 champion in the America Le Mans Series, and Andy Pilgrim, who won the 2005 SCCA World Challenge GT class in a Cadillac, will be behind the wheel of the CTS-Vs.
