No Perfect Formula | Cadillac Racing Documentary

[@johannes7059]

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

[@Dog_Botherer]

As much as I'd love to see it, I can't imagine ferrari giving this kind of access. 😢

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

[@LagmasterB]

Garage 56 had to start between LMP2 and GTPro cause it was faster than GT’s and they didn’t want it coming up through the field.

[@4wheelliving132]

@@LagmasterB During the race I was beginning to wonder if they would actually beat the GT's

[@LagmasterB]

@@4wheelliving132 same..their pace was crazy fast..they should be running this spec for a series. Maybe an IROC series reborn.

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. I'll be there again for Quali on Thursday and hoping for a better outcome this weekend for your race. Thank you for bringing this sweet naturally aspirated V8 music to Le Mans. Much love from France.🖤❤🖤💛🖤💙🖤

[@diegobert4033]

Not sure if it’s the same engine but heard them at Daytona 24 back in 2020. Wow the caddy’s sound godly.

[@MiniPunxx]

Yes, I saw them at Fuji last year you could feel the v8 in your chest on the last corner to finish.

[@racingmaniacgt1]

I love you covered FSAE. Laura and her crew work their butts off every year running that thing. So cool watching her now doing the GM's big program.

[@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.

[@timjacobsracing5867]

Having driven several 24H races myself in GT cars, I cannot express enough how much respect we should all have for the mechanics and pit crew. Most people have no idea how hard these people work and deliver during a raceweek. Best of luck next year!

[@xKrispyx]

I am so thrilled with this Cadillac hypercar. The kick over onto the ICE sends chills down my spine, every time. Can’t wait to see you on the top step of the podium!

[@jamesrobert4106]

I would rather see Cadillac win in 2025 than Ferrari. I will be rooting for them if they enter again.

[@Apexseal1]

15:25 say what you want about hybrid motors but the way the lmh cars drive on electric and then fire up as they move is sick, sounds so mean.

[@davideojockey6237]

only Cadilacs tho

[@Apexseal1]

@@davideojockey6237 tbh the alpine is kinda meaty as well and next year we will have the v12 aston which will obviously sound great.

The Cadillac is a LMDh not a LMH

[@Apexseal1]

@@Thedutchman12 ok cool? both lmh and lmdh drive out the pit box on electric power.

[@Thedutchman12]

@@Apexseal1 The 499P and the GR010 Hybrid both which are LMH don’t. The Peugeot 9x8 is an LMH that can be heard switching to its combustion but even then it does it while pretty much inside the pit box and doesn’t really drive off on electric only either. There’s also a difference between LMH and LMDh cars as well.

[@heylolp9]

I truly love the V-Series R, especially Sound wise GM/Caddy got told "Hybrid Hypercars" and went "Cross plane V8 got it" All the best to the teams at Le Mans

[@gabrielparedes7755]

I wish more companies would do documentaries like this, its nice to see some passion poured into media that conveys the same feelings of hardcore enjoyers yet puts the information in a basic fashion for those new to the sport.

check out Audi, Porsche and Ford's Le Mans documentaries

[@jjlasne]

Audi did when they won Le Mans several times. I have the DVD.

[@Xsiondu]

If you just want to watch "company documentary films" look into industrial films. It was a whole subgenre complete with famous directors, a list actors, great inside jokes etc. the original turbo encabulator is one of those as well as Miss Guided Missile. A great look back at the Navy's China lake missile development and test facility.

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😅

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.
