Built to drive. Bred to race.
In racing, there are only 2 options: lead or follow. A born leader, Cadillac is setting a new standard on the racetrack. After a successful 2011 season, including a double podium win, Cadillac drivers Johnny O'Connell and Andy Pilgrim are more than ready to take on some of the world's top brands this season.
Coming Up in 2012

It was here that Johnny O'Connell and #3 Cadillac CTS-V took second place, just last season. Catch all the excitement this year, plus get behind the wheel of one of the team's CTS-V race cars in the new virtual race simulator. Details coming soon.
CTS-V Coupe
Road car to race car
Design of the CTS-V Coupe Race Car kicked off in June, 2010. Taking the strong underpinnings of the CTS-V Coupe and making it a race car was not much of a stretch. Starting with a thoroughbred, Cadillac engineers and designers worked with Katech Engine Development and Pratt & Miller Engineering to re-shoe it, reshape it and train it to run at the next level. With only eight months of engineering, development, computer simulation and build time, the 2011 Cadillac Racing CTS-V Coupe racer was ready to put the rubber on the runway.
The Drivers
Andy Pilgrim, No. 8
