@@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😅

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.

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.

It's nice to see US manufactures racing. I can't help but wish it was a full in-house effort though. Both Ford and GM outsource a lot of their racing and I think that's a missed opportunity for them both to grow that internal talent. I hope that Cadillac will take that next step and do both the engine and chassis in house and then transition what they learn to their street cars.
