Cadillac Racing announced the complete driver lineups Wednesday morning (Oct. 23) for all three of the squads running the Cadillac VSeries.R in 2025. There are changes in each squad.
At Action Express Racing, Jack Aitken will be back in the Whelen-sponsored No. 31 full-time. He’ll be joined by Earl Bamber, who will replace Pipo Derani with the team.
Bamber comes from Chip Ganassi Racing, where he currently drives for Chip Ganassi Racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship full-time. Currently, Bamber and teammate Alex Lynn are 13th in Hypercar points with a best finish of fourth at Circuit of the Americas. He also ran a part-time schedule for Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports in the GTD Pro class.
For the endurance races, Frederik Vesti will join the squad. Vesti just made his IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in the LMP2 class for Tower Motorsport on Oct. 12. The former Formula 2 racer ran full-time for COOL Racing in the European Le Mans Series this year, finishing ninth in points with a second-place finish at Paul Ricard and a third-place run at Portimao last weekend.
“We are all very excited to have such an amazing group of talented drivers lined up for the 2025 season,” stated Action Express Racing team manager Gary Nelson. “Everyone here at Action Express has been working very hard to bring together the very best people to create an ideal opportunity to compete for wins and championships for our great sponsors, Cadillac and Whelen. Jack Aitken and Earl Bamber bring a great combination and bringing in a young, talented Frederik Vesti for endurance races adds to what we’re trying to accomplish. We will be sad to see Pipo Derani move on after sharing six years of success. Our fond memories and friendship with Pipo will continue.”
