Cadillac in Formula One
Updated: 12/11/2025, 1:07:29 PM Wikipedia source
American car manufacturer General Motors (GM) is a Formula One constructor under the Cadillac brand as Cadillac Formula 1 Team, beginning with the 2026 season, and is expected to become a power unit manufacturer starting in 2029. GM will collaborate with American motorsports organization TWG Motorsports through the latter's British subsidiary, TWG Cadillac Formula 1 Team Ltd. Cadillac will become the first new, independent constructor to join the grid since Haas in 2016. The project has three bases in the United States—in Indiana, North Carolina, and Michigan—and one in the United Kingdom. The engine department will be based in North Carolina.
