No Perfect Formula | Cadillac Racing Documentary

THIS is how you do a racing documentary. A nice mix of BTS, Racing, Emotions, Lighthearted moments, drama, and everything, while still keeping it easy to understand and to follow whats happening. Amazing job

17:58 "And who's got the best sounding car out there ?" You're goddamn right, Jim. I witnessed it at Le Mans last year, I have to admit it's a solid win for Cadillac on this point.

[@gearmeister]

Don't hesitate. As a former Cadillac team member at the dealership level, they have no limits, let them prove it to you

[@flexinclouds]

​​@@gearmeister Yep, very true. Cadillac & GM in general have proven their world-class level of designers, engineers, & specifically drivetrain & chassis tuners. Gm's been making the best handling, best driving, & most rewarding driver's cars. Like the 3800-4100lb CT4v/5v Blackwings. My absolute dream cars. Which are both incredible track sedans, pulling 1.02-1.05g of skidpad grip.. (more than a Ferrari 458), offered with manuals, & great engines, great interiors etc. Not to mention the performance of Camaro's Z/28/1LE's, old ATS/CTSv's, Chevy SS & C6,C7,C8 Vettes 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸👍 Too bad the economy's made them all currently unobtainable for me😅

GM had such a large presence at Le Mans in 2023. They scored podiums in both the GT and LMDH class, and the Garage 56 Camaro even managed to finish in 39th.

[@4wheelliving132]

Garage 56 would have done a lot better than that if they didn't have problems at the end

[@InfusedBio]

The coolest part about this is how nobody else shows how the car is actually made. They usually just put in some technical jargin and make it impossible to understand so they don't have to deal with such "complicated" matters. Seriously, it shows a lot about how much passion went into this brand, to make a documentary that actually shines a light on what it is really like to build something the world has never seen before.

It's nice to see US manufactures racing. I can't help but wish it was a full in-house effort though. Both Ford and GM outsource a lot of their racing and I think that's a missed opportunity for them both to grow that internal talent. I hope that Cadillac will take that next step and do both the engine and chassis in house and then transition what they learn to their street cars.

[@cypher50]

Cadillac is killing it on the marketing side; I've hoped my entire life that GM would allow its luxury make to actually be a motorsports brand so seeing investment into endurance racing is awesome. Hell, the marketing is working because I even wish I had a CT4-V Blackwing...

[@garydrew9970]

The current teams already have more cubic-$ that they can use, thats not an attraction to Liberty/F1. Liberty/F1 want new teams that will be competitive. Andretti has "dodged the question, and so failed the interview". Liberty has seen thru his disingenuous entry request. It's Michael's fault entirely. But I agree its a shame that Andretti are not a serious applicant, I'd love it too.

[@paulguerrero972]

I was at Le Mans last year at the 100th race and it was great not only to see the current cars, but they also flew out some museum cars from the Collier collection in Naples Fl. Awesome to see and hear them blazing down the track!!!! Can't wait till this year!!!

[@anydaynow01]

Hopefully with all this racing interest we get a V8 performance hybrid hypercar from Cadillac! Even if it's essentially an E-Ray with a hand made interior and a production of 100 a year (new Cien!) it will really elevate the brand around the globe and especially in Europe. Bonus points if you can figure out how to make it with an h shift option like the T.50, they are getting so rare! By the way, hearing the cross plane ICE bark/growl to life coming out of the pits is one of my favorite parts of watching these at a race, that sound of raw power sells the brand!

I just watched the 2023 Le Mans 24 Hours two weeks ago, so the story of the race is very fresh in my memory. Cadillac overcame tremendous adversity in their first year. I felt as I watched, that the 3rd and 4th were probably the most well earned positions in the standings. Obviously the winner always has the strongest position, and Ferrari did an astounding job. The professionalism and enthusiasm of their team was a joy to watch. Cadillac has much to be proud of.
