The film captures the dedication and perseverance of the team as they prepare for and compete in this iconic endurance race.

Premiering on the Hagerty channel #1194 on the Samsung TV Plus app for Samsung Smart TVs, Galaxy Devices, and on the web on Friday, May 31 at 7 p.m. EST, the 90-minute documentary follows Cadillac Racing’s journey to build a winning race car. The team’s efforts culminated in a successful season in the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship, including a podium finish at Le Mans and top honors in the IMSA Grand Touring Prototype season.

After its initial airing, “No Perfect Formula” will be shown all night and will continue to air every Friday at 7 p.m. EST leading up to the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 15–16.

“Racing has been a cornerstone for Cadillac, allowing us to transfer technology from the track to our production vehicles while building a global fanbase,” said John Roth, Cadillac global vice president. “2023 marked a significant year for Cadillac Racing, and ‘No Perfect Formula’ captures the passion and celebrates our accomplishments.”

The new era of sportscar racing in 2023 introduced the Hypercar and GTP classes with hybrid propulsion systems. Cadillac aimed to demonstrate the prowess of its V-Series.R, the third-generation prototype race car, in these new classes. The LMDh racecar platform, with shared regulations between IMSA and WEC, facilitated Cadillac’s return to Le Mans. According to Laura Wontrop Klauser, GM sports car program manager, the hybrid system offers vital insights for Cadillac’s future electric vehicles, while the naturally aspirated 5.5L V-8 retains the unmistakable Cadillac sound.

Produced by Tangent Vector and directed by J.F. Musial, the documentary showcases how Cadillac integrates racing technology into its production models, enhancing aerodynamics, manufacturing processes, software, and overall performance. “We’re excited to share Cadillac Racing’s journey with our audience,” said Paul Rehrig, Hagerty president of media, marketing, and membership. “Our partnership with Samsung TV Plus allows us to bring this compelling story to a broader audience.”

If you’re looking to upgrade into a new Cadillac this year, you may be shopping at just the right time. Cox Automotive anticipates a return to normalcy in the American auto market in 2024, marking the “best year for car buyers since the pandemic,” according to its Forecast: 2024 report. The forecast projects stability across various auto market metrics, signaling a shift from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market.

Key factors contributing to this normalization include a significant increase in production levels, with an estimated three million vehicles expected on dealership lots compared to the chip shortage period’s one million. You may have begun to notice this change already, with more inventory available on our lot than in the previous years. Overall sales are predicted to grow by approximately 2 percent, reaching 15.6 million vehicles in 2024.

The improved inventory is anticipated to help control prices, keeping incentives and discounts at elevated levels. Used vehicle sales are expected to outpace new vehicle sales by a ratio of two to one, reaching a forecast of 36.2 million for 2024. While certified pre-owned vehicle supply is limited, sales are projected to increase by 3 percent year-over-year to 2.7 million.

Cox analysts foresee continued growth in the electric vehicle (EV) market, dubbing 2024 as the “Year of More” – more models, incentives, discounting, advertising, and sales muscle. The EV and hybrid market is predicted to represent about 24 percent of the auto market, with EV leasing on the rise and a rapidly growing used electric vehicle market.

Despite slow wage growth, higher interest rates, and a weakening labor market, all economic indicators point towards more affordable vehicles for consumers. The forecast brings a sense of stability, replacing the chaotic fluctuations and constrained availability experienced in the past four years.

While the outlook is cautiously optimistic, Jonathan Smoke, Chief Economist at Cox, emphasizes that the auto industry has faced unprecedented chaos in recent years, making it challenging to predict future developments. Despite the uncertainties, the forecast signals a positive shift in the auto market landscape for 2024.
