Summary
Cadillac dominated Le Mans with blistering pace, leading over 170 laps combined, but both cars fell short of the podium—thanks to penalties, mechanical woes, and sheer bad luck. The 12 car, just off the win, was slapped with a penalty and heat issues, settling for fourth, while the 38 retired early from a power steering failure. Team boss Dieter Gass praised their speed but admitted disappointment at missing the podium, a goal they’d hoped to hit. Drivers echoed the frustration, feeling they earned better results. Meanwhile, Wayne Taylor Racing’s 101 showed improvement, finishing ninth, but drive-through penalties for speeding cost them a top-five. Still, both teams see Le Mans as a crucial learning ground, primed to carry that momentum into the rest of the IMSA season—and next year, they’re aiming for even more.
