Cadillac has signed AlexanderSims to race its new V.LMDh hybrid prototype in the IMSA SportsCar Championship next year. He'll team up with Pipo Derani at Action Express, while Sebastien Bourdais and Renger Van der Zande continue at Chip Ganassi Racing:
The Briton is moving across from General Motors sister brand Chevrolet’s GT squad with which he has contested the Le Mans 24 Hours for the past two years to drive for the factory Action Express Racing squad in the GTP class for a full North American campaign.
The V.LDMh fielded by Chip Ganassi Racing will be driven by Sebastien Bourdais and Renger van der Zande, who are contesting this year’s IMSA series in one of the team’s pair of DPi-V.R Daytona Prototype internationals.Sims, who raced in IMSA in a Rahal BMW M8 GTE in the GT Le Mans class in 2017-18, 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.
“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.”Photo by: Cadillac Communications
