Today’s change of president with the General Motors brand Cadillac is not expected to have an impact on the manufacturers commitment to prototype racing in IMSA’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

According to a source within the brand, the abrupt departure of South Africa’s Johan de Nysschen – an avid racing fan and steady supporter of the Cadillac DPi-V.R program – and the installation of new president Steve Carlisle should take place without having an influence on its IMSA Prototype effort.

Coming off a win last weekend in Long Beach, Cadillac partner team Action Express Racing has taken two victories from three races so far this year, including the season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona. The luxury-performance marque currently leads the Prototype Manufacturers’ standings and Drivers’ championship heading into the May 6 race at Mid-Ohio.
