The announcement completes Cadillac’s full-time driver lineup in the 2023 WEC and IMSA Championships. Cadillac is excited to be competing on the world racing stage in 2023, challenging for wins and championships in the FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar class with the Cadillac V-LMDh race car.
Three drivers with strong ties to Cadillac Racing will drive the Cadillac V-LMDh in every WEC race in 2023, including Cadillac’s first outing to the 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2002.
Earl Bamber and Alex Lynn, who co-drove the No. 02 Cadillac DPi-V.R to victory in the 2022 Twelve Hours of Sebring, will be joined by veteran sports car racer Richard Westbrook to drive the Chip Ganassi Racing-prepared Cadillac V-LMDh. The 2023 World Endurance Championship season begins March 17 with the 1,000 Miles of Sebring in Florida.
The drivers of the all-new Cadillac prototype will also compete in the Rolex 24 At Daytona in late January – the opening round of the nine-race IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship – in the Grand Touring Prototype class.
“We look forward to new challenges by entering the V-LMDh in the World Endurance Championship,” said Global Vice President of Cadillac Rory Harvey. “Bringing together a world-class team of drivers is paramount to our success next year and Cadillac Racing has accomplished that.”
The driver lineup brings a considerable amount of talent and experience that will aid the team as it competes at circuits around the world next season. The 2023 FIA WEC calendar includes races in Europe, Asia, the United States and the Middle East.
