Cadillac hasn't completed any LMDh tests in Europe ahead of its first Hypercar campaign in the WEC, with the General Motors brand saying it will have to 'work around' the 'handicap'.
“The main reason we didn’t is because we were very hardware constrained and shipping has become quite challenging in terms of lead time.
Klauser revealed that Cadillac and Ganassi are currently working out when it will go testing in Europe after the WEC kicks off with the Sebring 1000 Miles on 17 March. “It’s always good to test on pavement that is similar to where you’re racing, so that would be key on our list of something to get done.”That would make it impossible for Cadillac and Ganassi to test at the Algarve circuit near Portimao in Portugal ahead of round two of the WEC on 16 April.
Klauser stressed the value of racing at Sebring, where the V-LMDh will compete in the WEC round with Ganassi and the IMSA 12-hour event with Ganassi and Action Express Racing on 17 and 18 March respectively.
