Sebastien Bourdais says the No. 01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R endured electrical woes prior to earning the runner-up result in the Sebring 12 Hours.
The entry, prepared by Chip Ganassi Racing, was a force in IMSA’s once-around-the-clock endurance classic with Bourdais, Renger van der Zande and Scott Dixon at the wheel. Victory appeared to be within reach during the final stint as Bourdais emerged as the frontrunner for the majority of the final hour. However, the Frenchman was caught and passed by Louis Deletraz with less than six minutes to go, before guiding the No. 40 Wayne Taylor Racing Acura ARX-06 to the win.
