Cadillac, with the backing of General Motors and TWG Motorsports, is set to make its Formula 1 debut next year, following the approval from Formula 1 to expand the grid to 11 teams. The urgency of preparations is underscored by a countdown clock installed at their Silverstone factory, reminding teams of the approaching deadlines. CEO Dan Towriss emphasized the necessity for swift preparations as Cadillac transitions from the initial Andretti Formula Racing concept, which was initially rejected by Formula 1 before being restructured as Cadillac Racing.
Dan Towriss, the chief executive of TWG Motorsports, expressed the urgency of the upcoming Formula 1 season, stating they have a countdown clock at their factory at Silverstone. "We know exactly how many days to the engine's fired, how many days to the first race," he said, emphasizing the intense preparation needed. As they enter the competitive landscape of Formula 1, the clock is ticking and they must accelerate their efforts as the race day approaches.
The entry of Cadillac into Formula 1 was described as a significant milestone, representing the first expansion of the grid since 2016. Initially conceived as Andretti Formula Racing, it faced rejection before being reformed. Towriss shared, "From Michael's standpoint, he was very magnanimous in a way. He didnât want to stand in the way of this project," highlighting the camaraderie and collaborative spirit that underpins the new venture.
