Cadillac make major step in becoming F1 works team with key announcement
Cadillac detail their plan to become a works𒆙 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 dec🌳ade following the formation o🦂f General Motors Performance Power Units.
Cad🅺illac, who are expected to join the F1 grid in 2026 as the 1♕1th 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 Performance Power Units.
One of the key reasons Cadillac’s F1 entry bid was accepted was because of their plans to become a works teꦗam with their own power unit, rather than just being a customer team.
The American team will be powered by Ferr🦩ari until the 𒁃GM 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 motorsport.
Cadillac outlined that O’Blenes will join “TWG Motorsports and GM’s roster of innovatoꦺrs, creating a world-class technological base for the new Formula 1 team.”
Speakꦿing of the news, Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports, said: “His expertise and leadership will be instrumental as we lay the foundation for Cadillac’s Formul🔴a 1 journey.
“Together with Team Principal Graeme Lowdo🧸n, they will lead the team in setting new standards of performance and i✤nnovation in the sport.”
O’Blenes added: “I am truly excited to have the opportunity to build and lead the team that will bring an Amꦛerican-built F1 power unit to the grid.
“GM PPU is cu♌rrently ramping up its team and is ♍hiring in all areas of the business.”
