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

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.

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.🖤❤🖤💛🖤💙🖤

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.
Can't wait to see what Cadillac brings this year at Le Mans! They look STRONG!
Great people working there at Cadillac. Outro music was ON POINT with that piano 🎯
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.
Cadillac is going to SHOCK people at this years Le Mans. Let’s go Caddy!

@@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😅

Everyone loves the Cadillac hypercar!! Awesome to have a closer look of the making of this thunderstorm sounding beast! Good luck for Le Mans 2024 💛💙❤️

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.
I want a documentary like this from all of the GTP teams to see what is going on devolping these insane racecars.
What a great documentary! Got me so excited for this weekend!🏁 Best of luck Cadillac!!
Let's hope for some better luck this time, go team Cadillac!!!! 💪💪💪
10:49 Ahh, memories. GM built the Performance & Racing Center addition to the GM Powertrain Center when I was working there in 2015. When they completed the addition, they had an event where the other employees at the Powertrain Center could tour the facility. They have some badass equipment there.
Great video! And great to see JF’s involvement as director. Such a talented guy.
I had no idea this film was coming, I'm stoked! USA BABY LETS GO CADDY
Cheers to the iconic, unrivaled sound of the Cadillac roar!!!! 🏁
Tangent Vector doing what they do best. JF is the best for this. I am pretty sure Sea Bass is a 2 time Le Mans class winner. The fact he won both in Ford powered cars is not a reason not to mention it
To finish 7th at Le Mans is a massive result. To even finish at Le Mans is a huge achievement for any team. Teams need data and experience to even enter this grueling race.
Fun Fact: If Pipo Derani wins LeMan he'll be the first person since 2010 to have won all 3 prestige endurance races
