When Cadillac decided to enter the Speed World Challenge, they were
committed to do it right. That's why they hired Pratt & Miller to
design (along with GM engineers), develop, build, support and race
these cars. Both GM and Pratt & Miller had learned a tremendous
amount about building winning race cars by the time this program
started in 2003 having run the Corvette program since 1999.
Cadillac spent $60 million to develop, build and campaign these
cars. The engineering and innovation is simply amazing. As you
know, Cadillac won the manufacturers and drivers championship in
2005, only their second season racing this car, and won the
championship again in 2007. Racers recognize that the World
Challenge is some of the best road racing in the world with many
manufacturers participating.
This car is Chassis #4 which was the third race car on the team.
Chassis #001 was never raced - it was the development and test car.
This (Chassis 4) benefitted from all of the learning from the first
two cars and had the least track time when it was sold to McCann
racing , Also known as Team Remmington-Cadillac for the 2008
season. GM was about to enter bankruptcy at that point so it was
decided to sell to a privateer to keep the cars racing. Over its 5
year career it was driven by many great names including Johnny
O'Connell, Max Papis, Max Angelelli, John Heinricy, Andy Pilgrim,
and most often by Ron Fellows and Jordan Taylor. Never wrecked and
always maintained to the highest level by P&M it is truly race
ready.
There are enough spares to almost rebuild the car including a
complete drivetrain, suspension, brakes, shocks, body parts,
exhaust, and on and on. Engine is a refresh by Katech and the trans
and rear were rebuilt by P&M so in great shape. Other parts are
either new or excellent, reusable condition.
This car can be raced in AER events (newer racecars that don't have
a professional series race in series like this, Daytona Prototypes,
ex IMSA/ALMS cars). Many vintage racing series also have classes
for these cars.
