Detroit thunder rolled across the Circuit de la Sarthe as Cadillac won its first Le Mans pole, a feat last accomplished by a Detroit carmaker in 1967.

But Lynn, who shares the #12 Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh with Will Stevens and Norman Nato, revealed that he lost time at Indianapolis Corner and had to make a series of car adjustments on his pole lap as a result.

For the first time in the 102 year history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, American luxury automaker Cadillac has secured pole position.
