Jack Aitken, sharing the Cadillac Hertz Team Jota #38 with Earl Bamber and Sébastien Bourdais, delivered the strongest result of the Asian contingent with second overall.
The #38 Cadillac qualified sixth before Aitken and his teammates moved into the front row in Hyperpole. Their 1:52.445 matched the pole-setting time, but the #51 Ferrari AF Corse had set the lap time first, leaving the Cadillac second on the grid. They went on to convert that pace into a P2 finish in the race.
Ryō Hirakawa in Toyota Racing's #8, shared with Sébastien Buemi and Brendon Hartley, qualified eighth before advancing to seventh in Hyperpole. The crew ultimately finished sixth overall, securing a points-scoring result from the Austin round.
Genesis Magma Racing's #17, driven by Luís Felipe "Pipo" Derani, Mathys Jaubert and André Lotterer, qualified 10th and moved to eighth in Hyperpole before finishing in P7 overall.
The three entries remained closely grouped through the final classification, with the Cadillac's podium finish leading the way for the Asian-linked Hypercar runners at Austin.
