Cadillac is no unfamiliar person to the SCCA Globe Challenge, getting contested the GT Class series in a Cadillac CTS-V sedan during the 2004-2007 periods. Cadillac even won the Manufacturer's Tournament in 2005 and also 2007, additionally rating the Driver's Tournament in 2005 with driver Andy Pilgrim. Pilgrim is back for the 2011 effort, alongside fellow United states driver Johnny O'Connell, himself a motorsports veteran.
The SCCA Globe Challenge series is manufacturing based, meaning all vehicles competing are racing variations of road vehicles able to be bought by the general public. While every vehicle is improved in terms of both performance and also safety, including some bodywork customization and also tuning of the motor, suspension, and also brakes, the vehicles remain relatively close to their manufacturing specification.
"Returning to racing in the SCCA World Challenge is a great way to demonstrate the performance and capability of the CTS-V Coupe, " said Don Butler, vice president for Cadillac marketing. 'The racecars in this series are production based which allows us to validate our performance against the best of our competitors on the track, and not just the showroom."
Pratt & Miller, an engineering firm in Michigan that has also been responsible for Chevrolet's all-conquering C5.R and C6.R race cars, along with the new Corvette GT2 class American Le Mans Series racers and road-going C6RS, will be co-developing the CTS-V Coupe race car with GM's performance department. Like many others competing in production-based series, General Motors says it will use what it learns to further the development of its street cars.
"The SCCA World Challenge lends itself to a natural transfer of knowledge," said Jim Campbell, GM vice president for Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. "The series will become a key test-bed for Cadillac. We anticipate using what we learn on the racetrack to ensure the V-Series stays on the cutting edge of performance.
The 2011 SCCA World Challenge series opens March 25-27 in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Cadillac is no unfamiliar person to coupes, however the idea of an edgy, wedgy race-bred functionality device with one of the most high-tech, effective powertrains beneath it's long cover is the kind of thing that would produce organization founder Henry Leland move over in their grave. Possibly a few 12 times. However this is the Cadillac of the 21st millennium, a reborn manufacturer below a reborn (or at least reshaped) Common Engines. Cadillac, in lots of ways, might be the most remarkably turned-around automaker to ever live, even if it's change is faraway from full. It's showpiece is this intense two-door, the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, for it symbolizes almost everything that Cadillac didn't remember about THIRTY years ago whenever it, and the relaxation of GM, quit creating relevant and groundbreaking vehicles. Both hardly made it through.
