The 2004-2008 Cadillac SCCA CTS-V is a GT race car by Cadillac.

It appears in Forza Motorsport (2005), Forza Motorsport 2, and Forza Motorsport 3.

Synopsis[]

Based on the first generation Cadillac CTS-V, the SCCA CTS-V was unveiled at the 2004 North American International Auto Show as Cadillac's entry into the GT class of the SCCA World Challenge series. Due to the road car and the race car being designed at around the same time, the two cars share many similar components, including but not limited to, the 5.7L V8 engine, the front and rear suspension, and the steering system.[1]

The #8 and the #16 would both make their debuts in the 2004 World Challenge season. The #8 would be driven by Andy Pilgrim, while Max Angelelli drove the #16. Both cars would have a strong debut, with the #16 qualifying on pole and taking the win at Sebring, with the #8 following just behind in 2nd while also having the fastest lap. Over the course of the rest of the season both cars would continue to do well, with at least one car, including a third car, the #12, finishing within the top 5 in every single race except for the season finale at Laguna Seca, with the #16 taking its 2nd win at Road Atlanta and the #12 taking its first in the second race at Mosport. Angellini would end up 3rd overall in the drivers' standings, with Pilgrim a few places behind in 5th, while Cadillac would finish 2nd overall in the manufacturers' championship.[2]

For the 2005 season, Angelelli would be replaced by Max Papis in the #16, although he would make a couple of appearances as one of the drivers of the #12. While the #16 would be the only car between it and the #8 to take a win during the season, including a podium sweep at Road Atlanta, Pilgrim would have good enough results in the #8 to take the drivers' championship, with Papis finishing 5th. This drivers' championship along with a couple of wins from the #12 car would also allow Cadillac to take its first constructors' championship.[3]

Due to Pilgrim winning the championship, he would now drive the #1 car for the 2006 season. The #16 would once again have a driver change, although this time it would not have a consistent driver, swapping between Angelelli, Johnny O'Connell, and Ron Fellows over the course of the season. Even with all the driver swaps for the #16, both cars would end up claiming the same amount of podiums (4), including a win for each car with Fellows at the wheel of the #16 at Long Beach and Pilgrim taking the win at Road Atlanta. Pilgrim would get close to repeating as champion, but would end up tied for 2nd in the drivers' championship, with the highest placing of the three drivers of the #16 being Fellows in 10th. Cadillac would end the year 3rd in the manufacturers' championship.[4][5][6]

Cadillac would go back to running 3 cars for the 2007 season, with Lawson Aschenbach joining the team and driving the #1 car due to winning the 2006 championship, with Pilgrim moving back to using the #8. For the #16, Fellows would take over driving the car for the full season. Similar to previous seasons, while both the #8 and #16 would both take two podiums each, the two podiums for the #8 would be wins for Pilgrim while Fellows would finish 2nd twice. Pilgrim would once again finish 2nd in the drivers' championship, however, unlike the previous season, Cadillac would take their second constructors' championship, due in part to two wins from Aschenbach (who finished just behind Pilgrim in 3rd).[7][5][8]

Prior to the 2008 season, Cadillac would end their factory support of the CTS-Vs and sell two of the cars to McCann Racing who would race as Team Remington Shaving.[9] Even with the change in team, Pilgrim would continue to pilot the #8, while the #16 would now be driven by team owner, Michael McCann. While Pilgrim would end up taking 8 podiums in the #8, he would never manage to take a win in the car. Even without a win however, Pilgrim would still finish 2nd in the drivers' championship, with McCann a couple of positions behind in 7th. Cadillac would once again finish 3rd in the constructors' championship.[10][5][11] Cadillac would fully leave the championship after the 2008 season, but would return for the 2011 season with a new version of the car, now based on the coupe version of the second generation model.[12]
