Penske in talks over factory Cadillac programme for 2028

Team Penske is reportedly in the frame to take over one or possibly two factory Cadillac programmes in 2028, according to multiple industry sources. Talks with General Motors are said to be underway for a factory Cadillac V-Series.R effort, with a single-car Hypercar entry at the 24 Hours of Le Mans next year appearing almost certain.

The discussions come as Penske's contract to run Porsche's factory GTP entries in the WeatherTech Championship ends after the 2027 season, with Porsche set to focus its LMDh efforts on customer entries only. Penske Racing President Jonathan Diuguid attended the 6 Hours of Barcelona, and talks are understood to have accelerated in recent weeks. Penske could replace Hertz Team JOTA in the WEC and Wayne Taylor Racing in the WeatherTech Championship from 2028, though neither GM nor Team Penske would comment. Existing contracts with the three current Cadillac teams run through the end of next year.
