🗣 'There are no tyre warmers and these tyres are very difficult to bring in.' Cadillac Racing driver Richard Westbrook says the new GTP cars in IMSA’s top class place more emphasis on the driver: Daytona24
Westbrook, who will contest the full FIA World Endurance Championship with’s Cadillac team, makes a one-off IMSA start in this weekend’s Daytona 24 Hours.
Speaking about his Cadillac V-LMDh, Westbrook, who finished third overall for Glickenhaus in last year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, said: “It’s more of a driver’s car, definitely. “There are no tyre warmers and these tyres are very difficult to bring in. It’s going to put a lot of emphasis on the driver. “It’s going to be fascinating, but I just can’t wait to get past this initial period of preparation and just get racing.”Westbrook brushed aside concerns that this weekend’s twice-around-the-clock race at Daytona could be overshadowed by reliability issues with the new LMDh cars, which feature a common electrical hybrid system that has proved troublesome in testing.
