The goal is of course to show up at the start with an American driver in the cockpit. Cadillac has a long tradition of motorsport victories in IMSA and the Pirelli World Challenge. Andretti Global, on the other hand, has long been a well-known brand in US racing under the name of Andretti Autosport, whose teams currently compete in seven different series around the world.
