An entrepreneur in Houston, Texas, Stephen Patrick Day leads Logistics Group International (LGI) as president and CEO. In this capacity, he provides freight arrangement services in the United States and into Canada and Mexico. When he isn’t busy at Logistics Group International, Stephen Day is passionate about super and hypercars.
In August 2021, Cadillac announced working on a new Le Mans Daytona Hybrid (LMDh) racing hypercar. The new vehicle will use a chassis from Dallara, an Italy-based company specializing in providing LMDh chassis. Alongside this, the company plans on adding an engine of its own design that combines the mandatory hybrid element for the vehicle.
With this new design, Cadillac is eligible to participate in the IMSA Sportscar Championship in the United States and the FIA World Endurance Championship. The latter event includes the Le Mans 24 Hours. Cadillac has not been part of this iconic endurance event since 2002, despite creating the DPi-VR, a vehicle built according to the Daytona Prototype International rules and was not permitted at Le Mans.
LMDh vehicles are a more affordable option for entering into the realm of top-tier sports car racing of hypercars. BMW, Porches, Audi, and Acura have all opted for the LMDh sides. Meanwhile, Ferrari, Toyota, ByKolles, and other manufacturers went with the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) route for eligibility. This route allows manufacturers to make competitive versions of existing hypercars on the road or create bespoke prototypes.
Cadillac plans on releasing its new vehicle in January 2023.
