Laura Wontrop Klauser is the Sports Car Racing Program Manager at General Motors overseeing the Corvette C8.R, Cadillac DPi-V.R, and Camaro GT4.R cars that race globally. Her responsibilities from prior Cadillac and Camaro GT4.R Racing Program Manager roles have carried over with the additional responsibility for Corvette C8.R program and all future sportscar racing programs.
Laura started working at General Motors as a summer co-op student then hired full-time in 2008 after graduation from RPI. Prior to her racing program manager roles, she held various positions on different platforms including advanced design on the Corvette C7, releasing suspension parts for the Cadillac CT6, and noise and vibration on the Chevrolet Cruze, Buick Encore, and Chevrolet Spark.
At only 35 years of age, Klauser is already considered a GM veteran. She chats with host Amanda Busick about how she handles the responsibility of being a young female leader in a male-dominated field. A self-proclaimed “confectionery creator”, Laura shares how sweet her life is on and off the track including the development of a recipe for success at the 2023 Le Mans as Cadillac returns to the 100th anniversary of the race.
