The Chip Ganassi run-factory team had a difficult time during the race at Fuji in September. Their sole Cadillac V.Series.R finished 10 laps down on the winning Toyota, struggling for pace and losing valuable time due to repairing damage caused by a loose wheel.
However, things are looking up for Cadillac’s LMDh in the Bahrain 8 Hours round. The car, driven by Lynn, Bamber, and Richard Westbrook, has shown remarkable speed so far.

The team’s performance at the Bahrain 8 Hours round has been exceptional. Despite the challenges faced at Fuji, the Cadillac LMDh has demonstrated its capabilities on the track. With Lynn, Bamber, and Westbrook behind the wheel, the car has shown impressive speed and agility.
Challenges at Fuji
The Fuji race in September was not kind to the Chip Ganassi team. Their sole Cadillac V.Series.R struggled to keep up with the competition, resulting in a 10-lap deficit from the winning Toyota. Moreover, the team had to deal with extensive repairs caused by a loose wheel, which cost them valuable time on the track.
Potential Podium Finish in Bahrain?
Despite the setbacks at Fuji, the drivers are optimistic about their chances at the Bahrain WEC race. They believe that Cadillac can fight for a podium finish with the LMDh car. The performance in the Bahrain 8 Hours round has been encouraging, and the team is determined to make up for the challenges faced earlier.
