Cadillac Awarded Four Invitations to 24 Hours of Le Mans
Cadillac will have a bigger presence at the 24 Hours of Le Mans after race organizer the Automobile Club de l'Quest today extended invitations to four Cadillac entries for this year's race.
Cadillac had three Hypercar entries each of the last two years at Le Mans. It reached the podium in 2023 with a third- and fourth-place finish, and Cadillac had a seventh-place finish this past year.
The 2025 Le Mans lineup for the manufacturer looks like this, according to Cadillac:
The Nos. 12 and 38 Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA received automatic invitations based on full-season participation in the WEC. JOTA Sport is in its first year of WEC Hypercar competition as a works team. Jenson Button, Earl Bamber, Sebastien Bourdais, Alex Lynn, Norman Nato and Will Stevens will be the drivers.
The No. 101 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R, a full-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship entrant in the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class, will compete at Le Mans for the first time. Ricky Taylor is listed as the primary driver with the remainder of the lineup to be announced later.
The No. 311 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R is a full-season IMSA GTP entry campaigned by Action Express Racing that will return to Le Mans for the third consecutive year. Jack Aitken is listed as the primary driver with the rest of the lineup to be announced later.
"It has always been our plan to go to Le Mans with a shot at the overall win," said WTR Team Principal Wayne Taylor. "When I was there with Cadillac in 2002, I was driving, and both my kids (Ricky and Jordan) were there as spectators. Now, 20 years later, they are here driving for me with Cadillac. It is very exciting."
"Cadillac has built an amazing race car. This is such an important event and to be competitive you must arrive with everything in place. I believe we now have the car to beat. With the combination of Cadillac and our team partners at JOTA and AXR, we have a really strong organization. We are grateful to have a chance to compete at Le Mans."
