Following a three-year hiatus, Cadillac is heading back to the racetrack. Cadillac announced today that it will field two teams in the Sports Car Club of America World Challenge.
The car? The CTS-V Coupe.
“Returning to racing in the SCCA World Challenge is a great way to demonstrate the performance and capability of the CTS-V Coupe,” said Don Butler, vice president for Cadillac marketing. “The racecars in this series are production based, which allows us to validate our performance against the best of our competitors on the track, and not just the showroom.”
Cadillac’s return to racing is a team effort. Drivers Andy Pilgrim and Johnny O’Connell have already been brought aboard and Cadillac will work with Pratt & Miller, a Michigan based engineering firm, to develop the CTS-V Coup racecar.
The first event in the SCCA World Challenge is March 25-27 in St. Petersburg, Florida.
