The Cadillac team also had a new look for its fourth season in the SPEED GT series with a graphics package that combined the famous Cadillac script with the team's familiar red and black colors. The 2007 SCCA SPEED World Challenge GT series kicked off at Sebring International Raceway, the track where Team Cadillac scored a 1-2 finish in its competition debut in March 2004. Pilgrim and Aschenbach qualified fourth and fifth respectively behind a trio of Corvettes for the season-opening race. After three consecutive runner-up finishes in Sebring by Pilgrim, this time it was 23-year-old Aschenbach who claimed runner-up honors in his first race with Team Cadillac. "We had a great run today and my Cadillac CTS-V race car was flaw- less," Aschenbach declared. "This is a great way to start the season with a podium finish." Aschenbach pursued race-leader Eric Curran relentlessly to the end of the 18-lap race, finishing 1.429 seconds behind Curran's red Corvette. Pilgrim was sixth across the stripe after a spirited duel with a pair of Porsches in the closing laps. "We really wanted to win this race, but the Corvettes are tough to pass," Aschenbach reported. "They're 125 pounds lighter than us and use the same engine as our Cadillac CTS-V race cars." 3 Photo: D Maybury SPEED WORLD CHALLENGE GT, RACE #2 Toyota Grand Prix Long Beach, California April 15, 2007 QUALIFYING: RACE: 1st, Ron Fellows, 2nd, Andy Pilgrim, #16 XM/Mobil 1/Motorola/OnStar #8 XM/Mobil 1/Motorola/OnStar Cadillac CTS-V, 1:25.086 Cadillac CTS-V, 28 laps (83.266 mph) 11th, Lawson Aschenbach, 2nd, Andy Pilgrim, #1 XM/Mobil 1/Motorola/OnStar #8 XM/Mobil 1/Motorola/OnStar Cadillac CTS-V, 28 laps Cadillac CTS-V, 1:25.291 26th, Ron Fellows, (83.066 mph) #16 XM/Mobil 1/Motorola/OnStar 8th, Lawson Aschenbach, Cadillac CTS-V, 22 laps #1 XM/Mobil 1/Motorola/OnStar Cadillac CTS-V, 1:25.959 (82.420 mph) LONG BEACH: ANOTHER PODIUM FOR PILGRIM Streets Turn Mean for Fellows and Aschenbach Ron Fellows joined Team Cadillac for the Long Beach street race in the team's third CTS-V. The Canadian star was hoping to repeat his race- winning performance in 2006 when a last-lap outside pass sealed the victory for Team Cadillac. Fellows continued his mastery of the Long Beach circuit in qualifying, winning the pole with a track-record time. Andy Pilgrim claimed the out- side front row starting spot as the Pratt & Miller-prepared cars qualified first and second. Fellows led the middle third of the 28-lap race before he was side- lined by an electrical problem, while Pilgrim survived the heavy traffic to finish as runner-up. Lawson Aschenbach battled back from rear of the pack to finish 11th after he was hit and spun in the first turn. Pilgrim challenged Eric Curran's Corvette for the win on the final green-flag lap after the race's second full-course caution, but couldn't pull off the pass on the bayside circuit's long front straight. "I ran Eric as hard as I could," Pilgrim reported. "It's disappointing not to win, but second place is a good finish. I didn't have the fastest car today, but I had a great handling car in the tight sections of the track."

Aschenbach held position throughout the 14-lap race on the immense 4.5-mile circuit, while Pilgrim rebounded from a stop-and-go penalty imposed for jump- ing the start. Aschenbach and Pilgrim qualified seventh and 14th respectively as series-mandated engine and weight restrictions took their toll on the Cadillac race cars' performance at the high-altitude track. Aschenbach gained a position when points-leader Eric Curran retired with an apparent mechanical problem. He then pressured the Porsche of Michael Galati for a top-five finish, but couldn't pull off the pass. "That was one of the hardest races I've ever run just to stay in the same spot!" said Aschenbach. "I pushed as hard as I could to catch Galati, but all I could do was try to out-brake him." Pilgrim incurred a stop-and-go penalty for jumping the start that dropped him to 25th. Pilgrim then carved his way through the field, gaining 14 positions. It was an eventful race for the 2005 SPEED GT champion as he encountered spins and spinning cars. "I had a blast!" said Pilgrim. "The start was an honest mistake, total- ly my fault. At least we came

The winning marque in the “challenge” part of the event was Porsche with 41 cars, followed by BMW with 19, 9 each Audis and Mercedes, 2 Fer- raris, 1 Lotus and 3 others.
