CADILLAC CTS-V 1

I Why We Race - Team Cadillac

Why does Cadillac race? Simple. In today’s luxury performance market you either lead, hibernate or migrate. We’ve chosen to lead. The CTS-V Coupe, and Wagon are the World’s Fastest Family of cars, making Cadillac the New Standard of the World. As a leader in this competitive market we are not afraid to put our product, and reputation, on the starting line to do battle with some of the world’s top brands for that race to the finish line.

This will to race, and win, drives our organization from the boardroom to the showroom. What we learn turning lap after lap at tracks like Mid-Ohio or in the concrete confines of the streets of Belle Isle supplants yet another piece of performance DNA into our development stream that will come out as an improved road car in today’s and future generations of CTS-V vehicles.

One example of track derived technology is Brembo Brakes, which are standard equipment on production 2013 Cadillac CTS-V models. This system was bred in our championship-winning CTS-V race cars in 2007. Another racing success story is our Magnetic Ride system. Engineers have siphoned suspension data from our racing CPU’s and programed performance settings into our CTS-V Magnetic Ride system. Combine these features, learned on the track, and fold them into technology for the everyday commuter and you have one special road car – that can double as a track day racer.

The CTS-V race car thins the line between racing and road car. The luxury sports car buyer is a unique customer. They are interested and a-tune to technology and how it all comes together to complete the driving experience.

Winning is infectious, prideful and contagious. A successful motorsports program gives everyone at Cadillac that family pride watching a relative succeed. Although not maternal, the Cadillac CTS-V racing cars are very much the progeny of 4,000 dedicated Cadillac team members.

II Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Race Car

The Cadillac CTS-V Race Car was developed to a very aggressive timeline of less than eight months. The resulting product is a athlete. The underlying difference between it and the road car is a body mass index of 3,200 lbs.; the road car is 4,222 lbs. Under the hood lays a 6.2L V-8 that is restricted, per SCCA World Challenge rules, to deliver 505 horsepower. Zero to 60-time is estimated at 3.1 seconds. The was developed by GM with build and track service provided by Katech Engine Development. Power is put down by a six-speed sequential gearbox that delivers the to a limited slip rear differential. The combination of Pirelli 18-inch racing tires, specified by the series, and Brembo brakes, similar to those found on the production CTS-V, enhance the vehicles handling and braking capabilities in racing conditions.

The production Coupe is a classic 2+2 layout bolstered with advanced technology, such as a rear-view camera system and a performance-oriented suspension system coupled to rear- wheel or all-wheel drive.

The CTS Coupe emerged as a proposal inside Cadillac’s dedicated design studio, where designers develop and evolve the brand’s art and science design philosophy. It is powered by a 3.6L direct injected V-6 rated at 304 horsepower (227 kW). The high-performance CTS-V Coupe receives the same 556-horsepower (415 kW) 6.2L supercharged V-8 found in the landmark CTS- Sedan.

The wedge shape of the CTS Coupe lends itself perfectly to the aero demands of high-speed road racing. The addition of a rear bottom mounted spoiler helps to balance the horsepower on the Pirelli tires in the turns. Stopping the racer are Brembo brakes, similar to those on the production car.

III CTS-V Coupe Race Car Development

Design of the CTS-V race car kicked off in June 2010. Taking the strong underpinnings of the CTS-V Coupe and making it a race car was not much of a stretch. When starting with a thoroughbred Cadillac engineers and designers worked with Katech and Pratt & Miller to re-shoe and train it to run at the next level to get it to the starting line.

Keeping within the tight confines of the SCCA Pro Racing Rule Book, the team took the CTS-V Coupe down to zero body fat and began to add the elements that will make the race car successful on not only natural road courses like Toronto’s Mosport, but on crowned, crack filled street courses like Long Beach.

When the first key was struck, more than 6,300 hours of design work on the CTS-V Coupe racer began. On July 26 clay hit the body to pull molds for key components. August 2 witnessed the first chassis going onto the surface plate for initial manufacturing. More than 17,000 hours of fabrication between the two cars was happening simultaneously with engineering and the clay work. Design kept a watchful eye on the styling to assure that the cutting-edge look of the CTS-V Coupe road car was successfully translated to the race car.

An aero exercise, known as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), was put into the timeline to take maximum advantage of the air that flows over the hood and roof of the coupe to capture, or in some cases reduce, that force managed by the imposing rear deck-lid spoiler.

On September 30 the clay molds were finished and production began. The first body was completed October 27.

For Pratt & Miller, engineering the years of racing and winning with Cadillac and Corvette gives the group based in New Hudson, Michigan, a large database to draw from. How the car will react through the challenging Turn 11 downhill right hander at to the ultra-tight, last hairpin turn at Long Beach dictated the suspension geometry.

The first race car, No. 8, was completed on December 3 for a Cadillac marketing photo shoot to support the unveiling at the North American International Auto Show in . At this time the build of the No. 3 car was accelerated.

After the car was retrieved from the Auto Show, Cadillac racing drivers for the 2011 season, Andy Pilgrim and Johnny O’Connell flew in for their seat fittings, and pedal and steering column length measurements. The No. 8 car was completed for the first test at Sebring International Raceway, formerly a World War II military airbase, on January 16 at 3 a.m. The car hit the track the next morning.

Prior to leaving, the team performed a Lap Time Simulation (LTS) test based on their knowledge of Sebring to get the baseline set-up for that first crucial test. With only eight months of engineering, development, computer simulation and build time, the 2011 Cadillac Racing CTS-V Coupe racer put the rubber to the runway. Sebring was chosen because the CADILLAC CTS-V 5

team holds a vault of data on the 3.7-mile, 17-turn Central Florida circuit. Florida resident and multi-time Sebring winner Andy Pilgrim had the pleasure of turning the first laps in the CTS-V Coupe racer. What was planned to be a three-day test was reduced to almost a day of running. Rain and a couple of technical issues thwarted the Pratt & Miller test schedule. The team went back home to Michigan with a list of improvements, typical of a first shakedown.

Meanwhile the rest of the team was working feverishly on the No. 3 O’Connell car back in the Pratt & Miller shop.

Thirty-two days later the Cadillac squad returned to Sebring, February 21 and 22, to put both cars on the track for a second run in before the first race. With photo shoots and final driver comfort adjustments done, the team completed over 800 miles on both the long Sebring layout and the tighter North Course.

VI Cadillac CTS-V Racing and Brand History

Cadillac’s racing history was born at Sebring International Raceway on March 16, 2004. Two CTS-V Sedans took to the track for their first SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge GT race, celebrating the brand’s entry into professional sports car racing. At the wheel that day were Andy Pilgrim and . A very hopeful beginning, filled with anticipation for the program’s debut, almost fizzled on the starting line. As the green flag was about to drop Pilgrim, from his second row starting position, stalled his CTS-V Sedan. While teammate Angelelli raced off into the lead, Pilgrim re-fired his four-door and took off after the field. In less than six-laps he passed the entire GT field, setting fast lap of the race, and caught his teammate who was leading and made it a commanding, statement-making, Cadillac one-two finish.

The inaugural CTS-V World Challenge GT season witnessed Angelelli finishing third in the season ending Driver’s Championship, with Pilgrim fifth. In 2004 the team posted two wins at Sebring International Raceway and Road Atlanta. The two wins were supported by three pole positions that year. GM’s made one start at Mid-Ohio where he finished third.

Cadillac won the double in 2005 with the Manufacturer’s Championship and Pilgrim won the Driver’s Championship; teammate finished in fifth. Pilgrim won the championship on consistency, posting no wins, but finishing on the podium three times while amassing eight top five finishes. Papis raced to two wins, Road Atlanta and the season ender at Laguna Seca with GM’s John Heinricy competing at Mid-Ohio and Portland.

Pilgrim drove to a third place in the Driver’s Championship in 2006 on the strength of his win at Road Atlanta. He also filed podium finishes at Sebring, Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., and Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. The team shuffled drivers , Johnny O’Connell and Max Angelelli through the seat of the team car. Fellows drove to a win at Long Beach and also had podium finishes at Mosport in Toronto and Road Atlanta. O’Connell had a second place run at the Streets of Long Beach, while Angelelli’s year was highlighted by a third place at Laguna Seca.

Pilgrim and newcomer helped Cadillac to their second Manufacturer’s title on the strength of wins by Pilgrim at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina and Laguna Seca in Monterey, California. Aschenbach won at Road Atlanta and had podium finishes at Sebring, Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Watkins Glen, New York, Mid-Ohio, and Mosport, finishing the season third in the driver’s standings.

The 2007 season marked the end of the CTS-V Sedan racing era and would see the program take a four-year hiatus in motorsports. In the period from 2004 to 2007, the team won a Manufacturer’s Championship (2005), a Driver’s Championship (Andy Pilgrim, 2005), had 10 wins, seven starts and 36 podium finishes, including wins.

14 CADILLAC CTS-V

Team Cadillac was reborn on the streets of St. Petersburg in March of 2011 after a four year absence. Johnny O’Connell and Andy Pilgrim ushered in the new version of the team driving the all-new Cadillac CTS-V Coupes in the ultra-competitive Pirelli World Challenge GT Series. In that inaugural season O’Connell posted wins at Mid-Ohio and Road Atlanta, while Pilgrim posted podium finishes at Sonoma and Road Atlanta.

In 2012, Team Cadillac returned the series with championship intentions. From the drop of the green flag at St. Petersburg, Johnny O’Connell put the field on notice that he was going for the championship. Winning the first race and placing second in the next race on the same weekend, O’Connell went on to post additional wins at Detroit, sweeping the weekend winning both races, and added podium finishes at Long Beach, Laguna Seca, Mosport, Mid-Ohio and Sonoma to capture the Pirelli World Challenge GT Series driver’s championship and Manufacturer Championship for Cadillac. Pilgrim posted a win on the streets of Long Beach as well as podium finishes at St. Petersburg, Miller Motorsport Park, Detroit and Sonoma to finish second in the GT series.

The 2013 season witnessed Team Cadillac driver Johnny O’Connell defending his Pirelli World Challenge GT driver’s championship by winning five races over the 14 race season which concluded in Houston. Teammate Andy Pilgrim finished the season in third, and Cadillac won the GT manufacturer championship for the second year in a row. O’Connell took the championship right down the last few laps of a very exciting final round in Houston, which was a must win race. The Georgian posted wins at Circuit of the America’s (COTA), Detroit, Lime Rock, Toronto and Houston to win the GT driver’s championship by a slim 57 point margin. Teammate Pilgrim posted a win at Sonoma Raceway and was credited with eight podium finishes on the season.

Since the team’s inception in 2004, Team Cadillac has amassed 23 wins, 77 podium finishes (including wins) and 19 pole positions. The team won the World Challenge Manufacturer Championship in 2005, 2006, 2012 and 2013. Team Cadillac drivers have won the World Challenge Driver’s Championship in 2005 with Andy Pilgrim and in 2012 and 2013 with Johnny O’Connell.

VII Cadillac – Over a Century of Automotive Innovation and Racing

Cadillac’s groundbreaking Cadillac CTS-V race car is in keeping with the division’s high standards. The marque has had a strong impact on design, technology and popular culture. From magnificent V-16 and computer-controlled suspensions to soaring tail fins and quad headlamps, Cadillac has set the standards in bold design and ingenious technology.

Features that are now taken for granted were hailed as technological breakthroughs when Cadillac introduced them on production vehicles. The list of Cadillac innovations includes the first self-starter, the first independent front suspension and the first synchronized transmission. Cadillac raised the bar in powertrains with elegant V-8, V-12 and V-16 engines. Cadillac also introduced America’s first transverse-V-8/front-wheel drive automobile.

Cadillac’s reputation for innovation reaches back to the first Cadillac automobile completed by company founder Henry M. Leland on Oct. 17, 1902. With a background in manufacturing firearms and fine tools, Leland brought a passion for precision to the fledgling . His first single- Cadillac engine produced a then-astounding 10 horsepower, easily surpassing the output of his rivals’ powerplants. With variable valves and rack- and-pinion steering, Leland’s Cadillac Model A was a technological tour de force. The public responded to this advanced design; in spite of the Model A’s princely $750 price tag, the first production run sold out at the 1903 New York Automobile Show.

Leland imported precision gauges from that allowed Cadillac craftsmen to manufacture components with standardized dimensions. In 1908, Cadillac became the first American automaker to win the Royal Automobile Club of Great Britain’s prestigious Dewar Trophy for significant automotive advancements. Three randomly selected Cadillacs were disassembled, their parts scrambled, and the three vehicles reassembled using only hand tools. A 500-mile road test proved the interchangeability of each car’s 721 components. With this impressive demonstration, Cadillac became the benchmark in automotive technology.

The pace of progress accelerated rapidly for Cadillac and the automobile industry. In 1910, Cadillac introduced closed bodywork as standard equipment and offered Delco’s new coil and point ignition system, a major improvement over unreliable magneto ignitions.

Two years later, Cadillac became the first automaker to use a sophisticated Delco electrical system that combined self-starting, ignition and lighting functions. The Royal Automobile Club awarded Cadillac the Dewar Trophy for the second time, making it the first car company to win the award twice, and honored Cadillac as “the standard of the world.”

Cadillac’s tradition of great powertrains began in 1915 with the introduction of the first mass- produced V-8 engine. This powerplant used a thermostat to control the flow of coolant, an innovation that was universally adopted by other manufacturers. The engine, clutch and gearbox were bolted together to form a single assembly.

Ten years later, Cadillac made another breakthrough in engine technology with a dual-plane V- 8 . By arranging the journals at 90-degree intervals and adding counterweights to the crankshaft, Cadillac engineers produced a perfectly balanced V-8 engine with exceptional smoothness.

The redesigned Cadillac V-8 signaled the beginning of an era of impressive multi-cylinder engines. In 1930, Cadillac introduced the world’s first V-16 engine for passenger car use. With overhead valves, hydraulic lash adjusters, twin carburetors, dual exhaust and an elegant exterior design, the V-16 made an unmistakable statement about Cadillac’s standing among the world’s finest automobiles. The 452-cubic-inch V-16 delivered 160 horsepower, while a V- 12 version introduced in the same model year produced 135 horsepower from 368 cubic inches.

The Cadillac multi-cylinder motors were more than engines; they were automotive art. Cadillac advertisements heralded them as “Works of the Modern Masters” and described the V-16 as “the very finest of its kind.” That was no hollow boast. The motoring press hailed the V-16 as “the last word in in America.” The public agreed, but as the Great Depression descended, few could afford luxury motor cars.

Cadillac’s exquisite engines were coupled with a fully synchronized transmission design that debuted in 1929. The Cadillac “Synchro-Mesh Silent-Shift” transmission employed bronze cones to match the gear speeds while shifting. The days of double clutching and noisy gear changes were over for Cadillac drivers, and the standard of the world was raised another notch.

Manual gear changes could be eliminated altogether with the introduction of Cadillac’s optional fully in 1941. Pioneered in 1940 by , Cadillac’s General Motors sister division, the Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic employed a fluid coupling and a hydraulic “brain” that controlled gear changes.

Research on high-performance aircraft engines during World War II paid a peace dividend when high-octane became available. Cadillac engineers designed a new high- compression engine that took advantage of the power-enhancing properties of this new fuel. In 1949, Cadillac introduced the first modern mass-produced overhead-valve V-8. Rated at an astounding 160 horsepower, the 331-cubic-inch Cadillac V-8 featured a short and lightweight construction. It weighed 200 pounds less than the flathead V-8 it replaced.

Racers quickly recognized the advantages of the new Cadillac powerplant. Famed Indy driver Paul Russo won the 1949 Milwaukee 100 stock car race in a Cadillac, and Red Byron finished third in the 1950 NASCAR Southern 500 in Darlington, South Carolina. Gober Sosebee took the pole position and finished second in a 100-mile NASCAR Grand National race on a half- mile dirt track in Columbus, Georgia, in June 1951.

CADILLAC CTS-V 1 9

In 1952, Buck Baker won a 250-mile race in NASCAR’s Speedway division in a Cadillac- powered Indy-style car, and Tom Deal’s Cadillac finished second in the Carrera Panamerica road race in Mexico. Cadillac engines powered Briggs Cunningham’s limited-production sports cars and made the English-built Allard J-2 the car to beat on road courses from Watkins Glen, N.Y., to Pebble Beach, Calif.

Cadillac even traveled the long and winding , France, the home of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Briggs Cunningham, a well-heeled sportsman and racing enthusiast, led the way. His American-based team brashly entered a pair of Cadillacs in the 1950 edition of Europe’s classic road race. The first was a stock-bodied 61 Series coupe and the second a stunning rebodied chassis that was affectionately named “Le Monstre” by the astonished French fans. Cunningham’s fresh-from-the-showroom Cadillac finished 10th; his aero-bodied creation posted a respectable 11th-place finish in spite of an excursion into a gravel trap. A Cadillac-Allard J2 entry, driven by Tom Cole and Sydney H. Allard, finished third overall and first in the over-8000 cc class.

In addition to engineering excellence, expressive styling was a lynchpin of Cadillac’s image. The custom-built coachwork of the classic era gave way to extravagantly sculptured sheet metal. GM introduced the industry’s first curved windshields in 1948, and the first tail fin made its modest debut on a Cadillac. Inspired by the twin rudders on Lockheed P38 aircraft, the tail fin would become a defining characteristic of Cadillac automobiles for decades.

The exuberance of the ’50s found expression in Cadillac’s ultra-luxurious 1957 Eldorado Brougham, a memorable automobile that introduced the quad headlamp system, a brushed stainless steel roof panel, a power seat with memory, automatic door locks, low profile tires, forged aluminum wheels and air suspension. Like other Cadillac models, the Brougham featured a foot-operated parking brake that automatically released when the transmission was shifted into gear. The tail fin reached its apogee on 1959 models, which sported the tallest fins in Cadillac history.

Cadillac continued to refine the driving experience in the ’60s by making comfort and convenience top priorities. Self-adjusting brakes were adopted in 1960, and Cadillac introduced Climate Control in 1964, the industry’s first thermostatically regulated heating, ventilating and air conditioning system. Cadillac’s new Twilight Sentinel automatically turned the headlamps on at dusk, and an adjustable steering wheel that tilted and telescoped appeared on Cadillac models in 1965.

Cadillac also made strides in safety over the decades. In 1954, Cadillac’s innovative padded dashboard was seen as a state-of-the-art safety device. Ten years later, front seat belts became standard Cadillac equipment. Computerized anti-lock rear brakes were introduced as optional equipment in 1971, and in 1974, Cadillac pioneered the use of an air cushion restraint (air bag) system to help protect the driver in a frontal collision.

20 CADILLAC CTS-V

With the development of microprocessors, electronically controlled systems opened new avenues for Cadillac engineers. In 1975, Cadillac became the first U.S. manufacturer to use electronic fuel injection. The 1978 Seville was equipped with a trip computer, and two years later integrated circuits took charge of fuel injection, ignition and vehicle diagnostics. Cadillac introduced the first front-wheel-drive vehicle with electronic traction control in 1990. Other advances in digital technology were quickly adapted to Cadillac vehicles, with a computer- controlled suspension system and speed-sensitive steering introduced in 1993.

The sophisticated OnStar communication service debuted on three Cadillac models in 1997, combining Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, cellular telephone communications and 24-hour customer assistance. Night Vision, the first automotive application of infrared technology, bowed on the 2000 DeVille. This system uses infrared imaging to allow the driver to “see” the heat emitted by humans, animals and moving vehicles even in darkness.

Powertrain technology has also changed since the days of the V-16 engines. The carburetors and overhead valves that were cutting-edge technology have been supplanted by electronic fuel injection, multi-valve cylinder heads and double overhead camshafts. In 1992, Cadillac unveiled the 4.6-liter Northstar V-8, the first member of a new family of GM Premium V engines. GM Racing, the technical arm of GM’s motorsports program, developed several competition versions of the Premium V engine, including a twin-turbocharged Northstar V-8 that powered the Cadillac Northstar in the American Le Mans Series. The small-block V-8s that power the production CTS-V and the CTS-V race car are among the most powerful small-block engines ever produced. The transmissions in the CTS-V race cars use a synchronizer design developed by Cadillac years ago as "Silent Shift," although the original bronze synchronizer pads are replaced with carbon composite material in the modern version.

In 2004, Cadillac entered the ultra-competitive SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge GT Championship with their CTS-V Sedan. From their debut in 2004 to 2007, Team Cadillac CTS- V Sedans won a Manufacturer’s Championship (2005), a Driver’s Championship (Andy Pilgrim, 2005), had 10 wins, seven pole position starts and 36 podium finishes, including wins.

Cadillac returned to professional racing in 2011 with two CTS-V Coupes in the ultra- competitive Pirelli World Challenge GT Series with seasoned drivers Johnny O’Connelll and Andy Pilgrim. In 2011, the team posted two wins, Mid-Ohio and Road Atlanta, to prove the competitiveness of the new Standard of the World race cars. In 2012, the team took the next step by winning both the driver championship for O’Connell, Pilgrim came second, as well as adding another manufacturer title to the Cadillac racing pedigree. Team Cadillac posted wins at St. Petersburg, Long beach, and two in Detroit. The four wins and eight podium finishes were highlighted by a very special sweep of the top step of the rostrum at the Detroit Grand Prix in both races.

CADILLAC CTS-V 2 1

The 2013 Pirelli World Challenge season had Team Cadillac driver Johnny O’Connell defending his 2012 driver championship and helping Cadillac to win the manufacturer title. The season was not without its drama. Although O’Connell posted wins at Circuit of the America’s (COTA), Detroit, Lime Rock, Toronto and Houston his championship was won with a slim 57 point margin. The highs were wins at the new COTA circuit to go along with a Cadillac hometown win in Detroit. The lows were a 17th place finish in the second race at COTA, and two 11th place finishes at Mid-Ohio and Sonoma. Never giving up, O’Connell went on to post a must win at the season finale in Houston to clinch his second GT driver’s title. Teammate Pilgrim had a very consistent season. He posted a win at Sonoma Raceway and was credited with eight podium finishes, five of those were second place runs at Long Beach, COTA, Toronto and two at Lime Rock on his way to a third place trophy in the driver’s points.

X SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge

The SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge GT Championship is comprised of a 14-race schedule held at nine different tracks. The production-based series includes participation from manufacturers like Cadillac, Porsche, Chevrolet, Volvo and others. The GT class is World Challenge’s highest prize. All cars run on the same compound Pirelli P-Zero racing slick tire.

The purpose of the World Challenge Championships is to provide teams, manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers a competitive, production-based race series in which to prove their products.

There is a 50-minute maximum time limit for every race, with the number of laps and total distance being determined by track configuration, lap times and race conditions.

Cars that have been homologated for competition in the World Challenge Series are eligible for a full year of competition from the time they are homologated until that particular body style has been out of production throughout the world for four years. After a body style has been out of production for four years, it may continue to compete in no more than a total of five races total with a single driver, for an additional three years.

In order to keep the competition close within the World Challenge series, competition adjustments will be made to a vehicle model when deemed necessary. Competition adjustments will primarily be done through adjustments to the base weight, the engine speed limit and/or the required restrictor size.
