With an IPO fresh on the books, it's back to business as usual for Cadillac. First they went back to sponsoring Golf tournaments and now, after a three-year hiatus, they're back to racing in the Sports Car Club of USA World Challenge, this time with a CTS-V Coupe.

"Returning to racing in the SCCA World Challenge is a great way to demonstrate the performance and capability of the CTS-V Coupe racecar. While some of the production CTS-V components will be modified due to the unique demands of racing or to meet the SCCA series' technical rules, every effort is take to maintain as much production content as possible." said Cadillac marketing VP Don Butler in a statement.

The CTS-V Coupe racecar will be developed by Pratt and Miller (same guys who do my beloved C6R)

"The SCCA World Challenge lends itself well to a natural transfer of knowledge. The series will become a key test-bed for Cadillac. We anticipate using what we learn on the racetrack to ensure the V-Series stays on the cutting-edge of performance."

The season starts March 25-27 in St. Petersburg, Florida where Johnny O'Connell and Andy Pilgrim will take the wheel of the CTS-V racecars.
