It was Andy Pilgrim’s third consecutive runner-up finish at Sebring. Starting fifth on the grid for the 20-lap race, Pilgrim benefited from a solid race strategy and savvy driving as misfortune befell his rivals on the famed Florida airport circuit. He crossed the finish line 11.571 seconds behind Viper driver Mike McCann, launching Team Cadillac's defense of the World Challenge GT drivers and manufacturers championships SPEED WORLD in style. CHALLENGE GT, Max Angelelli had his CTS-V as high as 5th before a punctured tire forced him into the pits. He emerged in 23rd place, one lap down from the RACE #1 leaders, and fought his way back to16th as the checkered flag fell. Sebring International "Max may have run over some debris on the track that damaged his tire," reported Team Cadillac program manager Dave Spitzer. "The Team Raceway Cadillac crew practices tire changes, and that paid off when they made a brilliant pit stop and got him back out quickly. Sebring, Florida "Andy did a great job of conserving his tires early and then he ran hard at the end," Spitzer noted. "He didn't have anything for McCann, but it March 17, 2006 was a great way to start the season with a Cadillac driver on the podium at Sebring again. We know that you make your own luck by working hard. Every time this team gets a good result, it motivates us to work even harder to make some more luck for the next race."

PETE: O’CONNELL REBOUNDS TO 2nd CADILLAC TAKES MANUFACTURERS LEAD Johnny O'Connell relied on his Pratt & Miller built Cadillac CTS-V and his years of street racing experience to finish as runner-up at St. Petersburg. After an electrical gremlin dropped him from second to sixth in the running order at the midpoint of the race O’Connell charged back through the pack to finish 7.973 seconds behind the winning Porsche, gaining enough positions to give Cadillac a two-point lead in the manufacturers champi- onship. "Maybe it's my years of road racing experience, but working the traffic really helped me today," said O'Connell. "I was running fourth at one point, SPEED WORLD and when we came up on traffic, I think I read what was going to happen and passed two guys in one move." O'Connell's gutsy pass earned him the CHALLENGE GT, "B&M Oil Coolers Coolest Move of the Race" award. RACE #2 An electrical problem also struck Andy Pilgrim’s CTS-V, relegating him to an 8th place finish after he led the race for 11 laps. Honda Grand Prix With his runner-up finish in the Sebring season-opener, Pilgrim came out of St. Pete second in the drivers championship standings. Of St. Petersburg "Both Andy and Johnny drove phenomenal races today," said Team Cadillac program manager Dave Spitzer. "I'm proud of the whole team, and we'll St. Petersburg, Florida look at the data and figure out what happened. We're thrilled that Johnny finished second."

Ron Fellows executed a brilliant last-lap pass on the tricky street circuit to take the win. It was Fellows? third career SPEED GT win and it gave Cadillac a five-point lead over Dodge in the manufacturers championship. Andy Pilgrim finished seventh after starting the race at the back of the field because he spun on the pace lap. "That was good fun, and it shows that a Cadillac handles better than a Viper!" Fellows laughed. "There's no question that my experience here at SPEED WORLD Long Beach helped today. Mike blocked the inside, so I went to the outside. I could see how much rubber and grip there was out there, and I just CHALLENGE GT, gave it a shot. I had a great CTS-V racecar today, thanks to the engineers and crew on Team Cadillac. They gave me a really good setup, and the RACE #3 small-block V-8 was so smooth that I could manage my rear tires and save the brakes for the end of the race." Toyota Grand Prix "The idea was to bring an all-star team of champions from the GM Racing family to help Cadillac win the manufacturers' title," explained Steve Long Beach, California Wesoloski, GM Racing road racing group manager. "With Ron's experience at Long Beach, it made sense to put him in a Cadillac CTS-V for this April 9, 2006 race. That experience paid dividends today."

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".
