Cadillac Racing’s Historic 2025 Season Sets the Stage for Future Success

As the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season wrapped up with the Bapco Energies 8 Hours of Bahrain, Cadillac Racing and Team JOTA celebrated a year of groundbreaking achievements. Despite being newcomers to the series. Cadillac finished the season fourth in the Hypercar FIA World Endurance Manufacturers’ Championship, but the real highlights went far beyond the standings.

In a historic milestone, Cadillac became the first American manufacturer to claim pole position at the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans since 1967. The No. 12 and No. 38 JOTA V-Series.R Hypercars locked out the front row at this year’s race, marking a momentous occasion for American endurance racing. The celebration continued in São Paulo, where Cadillac secured its first WEC victory with a commanding 1-2 finish led by the No. 12 driven by Alex Lynn, Norman Nato, and Will Stevens.

Keely Bosn, Cadillac Racing program manager, reflects on the season’s success and the collaboration that made it possible. “Working with JOTA has been a joy,” she shares. “Our communication and teamwork have improved immensely over the year, and we’ve reached a great point as we look ahead to 2026.”

Bosn oversees all three of Cadillac’s global racing efforts: Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing and Action Express Racing in IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA in WEC. The 2025 Le Mans was a historic first: all three teams operated together, running four Cadillac V-Series.R entries, a feat that fostered unprecedented collaboration.

“The experience of coordinating across all teams—booking hotels, shipping parts, and strategizing—really brought us closer,” Bosn explains. “Having our engineers and teams in constant communication created a stronger, more unified organization.”

Le Mans proved to be a turning point, boosting momentum heading into the season’s final races. The team’s focus and determination paid off with a spectacular 1-2 win at Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo, reaffirming Cadillac’s competitive edge. While a front-row lockout at Fuji didn’t result in a victory, it underscored the team’s resilience and strength.

Looking ahead, Cadillac Racing is optimistic for the 2026 season. The V-Series.R will undergo exciting engineering developments, and the continuity among the teams, especially the ongoing partnership with JOTA, promises continued growth. Bosn praises JOTA’s unique team culture: “They bring everyone into their family atmosphere, making collaboration smooth and enjoyable. It’s a testament to how they operate and foster a sense of belonging.”

As the countdown to the Rolex 24 at Daytona begins in January, Bosn and the entire Cadillac Racing team are working tirelessly to build on this year’s success. “With everything we’ve accomplished and the plans we have, Daytona looks very promising,” she affirms.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as Cadillac Racing continues to push the boundaries of endurance racing in 2026.
