Cadillac's 2026 F1 entry has been officially formalized, and American race fans rejoice. Having such an iconic brand like General Motors in Formula 1 is huge and will only benefit both GM and the sport of F1 as a truly worldwide racing series.
With GM comes a racing pedigree that is matched by few in the world with its brands winning everything from the Daytona 500 to the Indianapolis 500 with Chevrolet stateside, as well as events like the Le Mans 24 (Corvette) and Bathurst 1000 (Holden) abroad. And Cadillac itself has enjoyed plenty of recent success in the sportscar racing world, winning the Rolex 24 overall in four consecutive years. That's a feat only one other manufacturer (Porsche) has ever achieved in the 24-hour event. But the global brand has yet to tackle F1 in a substantiative way, unless you want to count the occasional 1950s entry when Indy counted towards the world championship.
