SIMS SIGNS UP TO DRIVE CADILLAC HYPERCAR
Briton Alexander Sims has joined Cadillac and will race its new hypercar in next season’s IMSA SportsCar Championship.
The former Formula E driver, who races with Cadillac’s sister firm Chevrolet in GTs, has been confirmed alongside Pipo Derani in the V-LMDh prototype.
Sims said: “I’m excited to be racing back in IMSA full time and to be driving the Cadillac V-LMDh – it’s an impressive piece of kit.
“I had a good couple of years with Corvette doing some
GT racing, which brought me back to the IMSA paddock.
“It’s racing that I absolutely adore: the format, the competitiveness, the tracks that we go to are brilliant.
“To be stepping across within the GM family to Cadillac in the top tier of racing with Action Express, which is a championship-winning team, is exciting for me.”
Renger van der Zande and Sebastien Bourdais will also be part of the driving strength in the USA. It is thought that Alex
Lynn and Earl Bamber will represent the firm in the World Endurance Championship.
