“For this year we redesigned the aero package to improve our ability to follow cars closely with less loss of downforce than the previous aero package. We also changed brake supplier which aligns with what is used on our Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing road cars.”
Why this matters
The race highlights Cadillac's engineering progress, including a redesigned aero package for better traffic performance and a brake package shared with the CT5-V Blackwing road car.
