Cadillac Racing will be at the start of the 24h of Le Mans once again with the trident to try to make an assault on success on the weekend of 15-16 June 2024.
In fact, on the Circuit de la Sarthe there will be three V-Series.Rs in action in the Hypercar Class, as confirmed by the entry list published by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest and the FIA World Endurance Championship on Monday.
In addition to the Dallara #2 chassis LMDh which will take part in the entire season of the top endurance series, as happened in 2023 the #3 of Chip Ganassi Racing and the #311 of Action Express Racing will be added.
At the wheel of the first we will see the CGR starting duo of Earl Bamber and Alex Lynn, who will be joined by Alex Palou, IndyCar champion who made his first appearance with the Cadillac at the 24h of Daytona.
As we know, for the shorter races Bamber and Lynn will not have teammates, while for those over 6 hours they will receive the support of one of the official General Motors drivers, such as Sébastien Bourdais at the 1812 Km of Qatar next week.
On the #3 at Le Mans there will be Bourdais himself and his IMSA teammates, namely Renger Van Der Zande and Scott Dixon, while the #311 of AXR – present thanks to the invitation earned through the US championship – will be entrusted to the owners of the American series , Pipo Derani and Jack Aitken, plus a third contestant yet to be named.
