Cadillac Goes Racing in Formula One in 2026

[oldshurst442]

Formula One Management has accepted GM's bid to be part of the league so Cadillac becomes the 11th team to be on the grid for 2026.  Cadillac will partner up with TWG Global which owns Andretti Racing and Wayne Taylor Racing.  It looks like Mario will be in charge as director of the team's board rather than his son Michael.  Formula One had a problem with Michael.  

Cadillac for now will be using another manufacturer's engine. No word yet on who but rumors abound that it will not be Alpine/Renault as it was the first time around but Ferrari.   I guess Ferrari was smitten when Chevrolet said that a Ferrai 458 and especially its engine was an inspiration for the Corvette C8 Z06 and its engine.  That would be my opinion of course.  GM promised that it would be an engine producer/supplier by the end of the decade for Cadillac's racing team.  The team will race under the Cadillac brand.
