This is already my 4th example of the Mini GT Cadillac LMDh casting. This one is based on the 3rd place finisher from the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. Although the No. 2 car finished 3rd overall, it actually wasn't really as fast as the winning Ferrari and the 2nd place Toyota. Accidents and mechanical issues that plagued some of their competitors promoted the No. 2 Cadillac to a 3rd place finish and had they not faces issues of their own, they could have probably finished on the lead lap. Still, it was a pretty nice showing for the Cadillac team as they were the top placed LMDh car although the privateer Jota Porsche LMDh car actually led the race for quite a bit before Yifei Ye crashed out from the lead. The sister No. 3 Cadillac finished 4th, 1 lap behind the No. 2 car. I already wrote about the No. 311 Cadillac before which had a crash in the early part of the race.
