About Andy Pilgrim

Andy Pilgrim is a factory driver for Cadillac's CTS-V racing program at General Motors, and has been driving for GM Racing since 1999. Pilgrim is recognized as one of the world's best sports car drivers, amassing more than 50 victories in 10 different competition series.

A native of Nottingham, England, Pilgrim found early success racing open-class and modified production motorcycles in England between 1978 and 1980, amassing 71 wins and five divisional and national championships.

After moving to the United States in the early 1980s, he started racing cars professionally in 1984 and took his first professional win in the IMSA Firestone Firehawk Endurance Championship in 1986 at Sears Point in a Pontiac Firebird. Pilgrim won 20 more races in 106 Firehawk series starts in the next decade. Considering the level of competition in Firehawk, his 20-percent win record is remarkable. Andy's unbeaten - and likely unbeatable - world record of 116 consecutive race finishes in IMSA/PSCR events is unprecedented.

Pilgrim continued with a string of successes in various levels of competition, including four championships and prestigious wins in the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring. During this period Pilgrim achieved his goal to become a U.S. citizen and finalized the process in 1998. Pilgrim was named to Corvette's first factory ALMS and Le Mans effort in 1999. His success continued with a host of victories and podium finishes in the Corvette C5.R, including the team's first victory at Texas in 2000.

In 2004, Cadillac chose Pilgrim to champion the brand's return to motorsports with the CTS-V race car. Pilgrim returned the favor with consistent driving, highlighted by coming from the back of the pack to an incredible second-place finish after having no clutch for the standing start of Cadillac's debut race at Sebring. Pilgrim will pilot the two-car works effort along with Italian Max Papis.

Although tremendously active with racing and personal appearances, the Florida resident is also CEO of a successful computer consulting and management company that employs more than 100 programmers. Pilgrim also volunteers his time educating new drivers about safe driving techniques for the street.
