Cadillac make major step in becoming F1 works team with key announcement
Cadillac detail their plan to become a works team by the ▨end of the decade.
Cadillac have ramped up plans to become a fully-fledged F1 works team by the end of the decade following the formation of General Motors Performance Power U💖nits.
Cadillac, who are expected to 🌊join the F1 grid in 2026 as the 11th team, plan to have their own power unit by 2029.
This will be led by US motor giant General Motors🍨, who have confirmed they are joining forces with TWG Motorsports to form GM Perfor🌜mance Power Units.
One of the key reasons Cadillac’s F1 entry bid was accepted was because of their plans to become a works team with their own power unit, rather than just being a c♉ustomer team.
The American team will be powered by Fe🌠rrari until the GM power unit is fully developed.
GM’s power unit project will be headed by Russ O’Blenes, who has over 30 years of experience in motorspor♒t.
Cadillac outlined that O’Blenes will join “TWG Motorsports and GM’s roster of innovators, creating a wor🍰ld-class technological b𝐆ase for the new Formula 1 team.”
Speaking of the news⭕, Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports, said: “His expertise and leadershi🔯p will be instrumental as we lay the foundation for Cadillac’s Formula 1 journey.
“Together with Team Principal Graeme Lowdon, they will lead the team in setting new s🀅tandards of p🅰erformance and innovation in the sport.”
O’Blenes♌ added: “I am truly excited to have the opportunity to build and lead the team that will bring an American-built F1 power unit to the grid.
“GM ꦫPPU is currently ramping up its 🐼team and is hiring in all areas of the business.”
