If it succeeds, they are going to join two full -time applications to the Wec from Yota, which took over this system of the World Championships from Chip Ganassi Racing for 2025.

This would mean a greater presence of Cadillac in Le Mans in comparison with three cars, which he staged in 2023 and 24, when Action Express promoted the V. R series, and Ganassi brought an extra automotive to strengthen its only yr -round participation in WC.

The head of Wł Wayne Taylor never hid that he desired to take his team to Le Mans, explaining that it was certainly one of the explanations for his return to Cadillac from Acury in IMSA for this season.

“GM makes every effort to introduce us to Le Mans,” Taylor said Motorsport.com.

“I'm not saying that we imagine we are going to go, but I’m stuffed with hope. Taking the team for the primary time to Le Mans is a terrific thing for me.

The Action Express team manager, Gary Nelson, expressed his desire to go by automotive to Le Mans for the third yr in a row.

“We are doing our best, but we understand that coming to Le Mans requires an invitation,” he said.

“We have been here for two years and if we come back, we will use these two -year experiences. If we were invited this year, we would feel well prepared. “

It seems that there may be room for extra Hypercar applications to Le Mans after the variety of full -time applications to WC fell by one automotive from 19 to 18 in 2025.

Last yr's rate in Le Mans was strengthened by Action Express and Ganassi applications, in addition to one hypercar from the Iron Lynx Lamborghini team and certainly one of the Porsche Penske Motorsport team.

Two additional Caddy and one from Porsche, which received an automatic invitation after winning the title of IMSA last yr, would mean that this yr 21 hypercars will appear in Le Mans, two less in comparison with 23 last yr.

The full list of applications for this yr's Le Mans can be announced after the last two rounds of Asian Le Mans Series in Abu Dhabi, which is able to happen on February 15 and 16, when automotive applications are set for this series.

Taylor revealed that Jota will support the In Wt Le Mans offer in the sector of infrastructure, indicating that he provided the identical support to the British team prior to now when he took part within the 24-hour IMSA Daytona round.
