    ABOUT WORLD ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP

    Endurance racing is unique from other motorsport events held at COTA. Unlike typical racing formats where drivers attempt to race a pre-determined distance over the fastest time period, endurance racing is flipped. During WEC races, drivers have a preset amount of time to drive the longest distance possible. These events are designed to test the durability of both the equipment and the people behind the wheel.

    Even with all the variation in make and model, the field is always competitive. Drivers and manufacturers must carefully manage the balance between speed and efficiency, and one small miscalculation could be the difference between a celebratory podium finish and race-ending damage. This race will be packed with six hours of drama, and it will be one you will not want to miss.

    ABOUT CADILLAC RACING

    In 2025, Cadillac Racing (viaHertz Team JOTA) achieved its first-ever FIA WEC Hypercar victory at the 6 Hours of São Paulo, highlighting a strong season where they finished 4th in the Manufacturers' Championship. The #12 V-Series.R was highly consistent, scoring points in every race and finishing 6th overall in the driver standings.

    In its first season of WEC Hypercar competition in 2023, Cadillac Racing entries finished third and fourth. In 2024, Cadillac Hypercars qualified second and third and registered a best finish of seventh. 

    Before entering Hypercar competition as a privateer in 2023, JOTA Sport earned podiums at Le Mans 10 times in LMP2, including second- and third-place finishes in 2017.

    The Cadillac V-Series.R features a purpose-built Cadillac 5.5L DOHC V-8 engine developed by GM’s Performance and Racing Propulsion team based in Pontiac, Michigan. The racecar, co-developed by Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing, and chassis constructor Dallara, was informed by the Project GTP Hypercar that was unveiled in June 2022. It incorporates distinctive Cadillac design elements, such as vertical lighting and floating blades.

    After a historic pole position in 2025, Cadillac Racing will be back at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with three V-Series.R racecars challenging for the overall victory.

    Event organizer Automobile Club de l’Ouest extended three invitations to Cadillac: In addition to the No. 12 and 38 Cadillac Hertz® Team JOTA V-Series.R entries from the World Endurance Challenge (WEC®), also on the grid will be 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.

    With the continued support of Cadillac headquarters and Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club, the Cadillac V-Club will be hosting our 6th annual members only event at the Cadillac V-Performance Academy in Pahrump, NV to experience the exhilarating drive of Cadillac's newest performance V-Series machines, the Cadillac V-Series Blackwings!   

    Space is limited to the first 18 members who RSVP register with 9 driver slots reserved for members who purchased a new CT4-V or CT5-V Blackwing from an authorized Cadillac dealer which includes a tuition paid trip to the V-Performance Academy.  You must provide your VIN# which will be used to verify the "in-service date" of your Blackwing and the date of purchase must be within 12 months from your in-service date. 

    The remaining 9 driver slots are reserved for members who purchased a pre-owned V-Series vehicle and have never attended the V-Performance Academy.  This is a "bucket-list" type of experience and well worth the cost of tuition especially at the discounted rate you will pay as a member of the Cadillac V-Club.

    This "two day" Cadillac V-Club Blackwing Experience is an incredible opportunity for you to put the most powerful Cadillacs ever to the test at North America's longest racetrack. 

    Designed for drivers of all experience levels, the challenging curriculum and precision-focused track-time focuses on improving the drivers’ capability and confidence level in not only their Cadillac V-Series Blackwing, but in any vehicle.

    With the perfect balance of informative classroom sessions and on-track exercises, this comprehensive program will increase your driving expertise.

    If you have purchased a new Blackwing from a Cadillac dealer and your date of purchase was within the last 12 months, you are eligible to receive a tuition paid trip.  This experience includes:

    • Tuition - 100% of your tuition is paid for by Cadillac
    • Lodging - Includes a 2-night stay in an on-site condo at Spring Mountain MRCC
    • Meals - Breakfast, lunch & dinner daily included in your stay

    If you do not qualify for a tuition paid trip as a new Blackwing owner, your tuition cost will be subsidized by Cadillac off the normal rate to attend the academy.  

    Unless you qualify for a tuition paid trip, the cost to attend is:

    • CT4-V Blackwing Tuition - $2,045 (Normally $3,545.00)
    • CT5-V Blackwing Tuition - $2,345 (Normally $3,845.00)
    • On-site Lodging - $160/night up to $325/night - 2 night stay in an on-site condo at Spring Mountain MRCC - limited availability

    Sunday, October 4, 2026
    Registration Opens Monday, May 11

    No speed limits, no pedestrians, no stoplights, but best of all – no tickets. The Cadillac V-Club in partnership with Hooked on Driving (HOD) will provide you with an experienced instructor to help guide you through the event, one on one, as you learn how to handle your car at the limit. You set your own goals and only go as fast as you feel comfortable going. Progress as far as you wish in your own car at your own pace, become a safer driver on the street, and have a blast along the way!

    High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) refers to a track day held on a dedicated road racing track designed to teach drivers proper high speed driving in a controlled environment.  

    • HOD offers the best and longest running Beginner/Novice driving program in the industry! (HOD believes in 1-on-1 coaching, and great classroom downloads. Don't settle for "lead-follow." We'll get you up to speed quickly and safely)
    • Low Car Count Run Groups! 
    • Lunch included for all drivers (Bringing a guest? They can eat with us too, just grab an add-on lunch)
    • Stay Cooler! (We'll have a dedicated Air-conditioned hospitality suite and allow drivers to run windows up on track!)

    The cost to participate will be determined by the HOD run group you select. 

    • Do NOT try to get up at 4:00 am and make a long drive to the track. Go the night before and stay nearby so you can arrive fresh. This will be a long and exhilarating day… we don’t want you napping after lunch!!
    • Wear sunscreen and bring apparel for any changes in conditions.
    • Be early to the meetings. Get to know the drivers next to you in the paddock.
    • Experienced drivers will be super helpful to you – but only listen to our Driving Coaches for your introduction on track technique. Feel free to ask about other cars, or if you find one like yours, ask about what they’ve done to it for the track.
    • Be at all your group meetings and listen!

        ABOUT SEBRING RACEWAY PARK

        LOCATION
        Sebring International Raceway
        113 Midway Dr
        Sebring, FL

        Website: www.sebringinternationalraceway.com

        Sebring is renowned for its rough surface. The course still runs on old sections of World War II-era landing fields that were constructed of concrete sections with large seams. The transitions between sections are quite rough and often, sparks fly from the undercarriages of the cars as they traverse them. Much of the track has intentionally been left with its original concrete runway surface. The track surface has 3.04 miles (4.89 km) of asphalt and 0.7 miles (1.1 km) of concrete. Mario Andretti, a 3-time 12 Hours winner, said that one of the hardest parts about the original Sebring track was finding the track to begin with! There had been many accounts of drivers retiring due to accidents at night, quite simply because they got lost on the runway sections and couldn't find the track again. Some drivers got lost even during the day, mostly because the track was poorly marked down with white lines and cones.
