The Cadillac Formula 1 Team has officially been approved for the 2026 Formula 1 world championship season.

The FIA and Formula 1 Management made the announcement on Friday that the Cadillac operation will become the 11th team on the grid, fielding a pair of cars under the TWG Motorsports banner.

As we said in November, the commitment by General Motors to bring a Cadillac team to Formula 1 was an important and positive demonstration of the evolution of our sport, said F-1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. I want to thank GM and TWG for their constructive engagement over many months and look forward to welcoming the team on the grid from 2026 for what will be another exciting year for Formula 1.

Since the bid to join Formula 1 was announced in January 2023, TWG Motorsports has assembled an experienced team of over 300 people working on aerodynamics, chassis and component development, software and vehicle dynamics simulation. Development work to join the grid in 2026 has continued at pace with operational wind-tunnel models, parts production and performance testing strongly underway. The team has operations in Indianapolis, Indiana; Charlotte, North Carolina; Warren, Michigan; and Silverstone, England.

For the past year, we have worked hand in hand with GM, to lay a robust foundation for an extraordinary F-1 entry, said TWG Motorsports CEO Dan Towriss. Now, with 2026 in our sights after todays final approval from the FIA and Formula 1, were accelerating our efforts expanding our facilities, refining cutting-edge technologies and continuing to assemble top-tier talent.

Were thrilled the Cadillac Formula 1 Team is official, as the team has been accelerating its work, said GM President Mark Reuss. Were incredibly grateful for the support from the FIA and Formula One Management leadership for us and for our collaboration with TWG. The excitement only grows as we get closer to showcasing GMs engineering expertise on the prestigious global stage of F1.
