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.

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.
