Team Cadillac has confirmed that Finnish driver JJ Lehto
continues to be part of its roster, having signed a contract back in January 2002. Lehto drives the No 7 Northstar Cadillac LMP '02 along with Emmanuel Collard and Eric Bernard in two ALMS races (Sebring and Petite Le Mans) as well as in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which just completed last weekend.
"JJ is a terrific driver and we are delighted he is part of Team Cadillac," said Doug Duchardt, GM Racing group manager for Team Cadillac. "Contrary to earlier reports by another team, JJ has not left Team Cadillac. Team Cadillac retains Lehto's driving rights, although he can receive permission to run in other races/racing venues (be it endurance racing or any other type of
racing) or with other teams/manufacturers if Team Cadillac provides permission. To date, this has not occurred. JJ is still scheduled to drive with Team Cadillac in the ALMS' Petite Le Mans race this October," said Duchardt.
Team Cadillac will race in four ALMS races between now and the end of the year, including the Cadillac Grand Prix of Washington and the races at Mosport, Laguna Seca and Petite Le Mans in Atlanta. Team Cadillac also raced in the first event of the season, the 12 Hours of Sebring.
