2025 Sebring 12hr Safety Car

[Todd]

Race is on now and the safety car is a 2025 5BW.

So far getting a lot of in-action screen time.

Nice, you there?

Haven’t been back to the 12hr for a couple years, last time was as a corporate guest.

My first time there was when they still had the mud bog between 8 and 9. Definitely not as a corporate guest. Wild times.

By the file names alone, I can 100% tell those are awesome pictures!

That's good because other than letting some YouTubers make some videos, I don't think GM has spent a dime marketing any of their ICE sedans which is a crying shame.

You did an EXCELLENT job pulling the filenames. Less than stellar job pulling the pics themselves.

You won't see them if you have Facebook domains fenced out of your browser sessions. I got them by opening the link in a new tab.

Ah that was my problem I guess. Thanks for reposting them.

Lolz they couldn't even get CF1 and CF2 on the official pace car.

Fleet Model, Base Wheels. Does have a pretty cool wrap.

I thought the same thing. Between the wheels and no CF pieces, It’s one of the most unimpressive 5BWs I’ve seen. Certainly wouldn’t make me run to a Cadillac dealer to order one.

Tough crowd. I think it looks awesome!

^^^no kidding! Maybe farkles get some people excited, but if I didn't know this car existed and heard it start, then saw it perform on track, pretty sure I would be running to the dealer.

GM could step it up a bit at these types of significant events where the Vee cars are showcased front and center to be seen with fully dressed 4BW & 5BW examples IMO...Nothing wrong with the entry level example, just make em drool with a fully dressed out BW as well.

The Cadillac Experience event, which traveled around the country and showcased local dealer, fully dressed Gen 3 V examples I certainly loved to see and test drive, drew me in even more to want a V car!

Drove a loaded CT6 VBW (semi-autonomos), the one and only time several years ago at the Caddy Experience and it was a beautiful car.

Short lived, heck of a comfortable ride and I liked the car. Even considered buying one. Then, the 5BW came along and it was over....done deal I became a buyer!

Put your best examples out there as well GM, so folks can enjoy and appreciate them at these events....maybe even buy one?

Representing the ATS-V / CTS-V3 crowd here, I don't think many people like the Blackwing styling over the "Art & Science" styling. Buick in the front, upside down robot head in the back.

If you really want people to get excited, merge the ATS-V and CTS-V styling into the "ATS-V 4-2-2" concept (4 inches wider, 2 inches longer, 2 inches lower) and do everything under the sun to keep it under 3700 lbs. Give it a dual clutch transmission. Then beat the ZL1 1LE around the Nurburgring (ideally under 7:10, which is 6 seconds faster--that would tie the C7 Z06). That would be a 4-door sedan worth talking about.

Seems like a logical place to advertise the PP

I attended the 2024 Rolex 24 hr at Daytona. This is the 2024 5BW Cadillac had on display on pit road. A lot more impressive looking than the ‘25 safety car at Sebring in my opinion.

Ironically, that looks to be a 2025 5BW, even though it was 2024.
