Cadillac also produces cars like this for IMSA (GTP class) & WEC (Hypercar class).

In addition to things like their competitive LMDh cars, they also have their V-Series performance road cars. The CT5-V Blackwing is the most well known.

To be fair, it's a GM team not technically a "Cadillac" team. GM has a long history in racing including multiple GT class wins at Le Mans.

P.S. HOT TAKE - GM makes the best "Drivers Cars" of act company over the last decade and I'll take that opinion to my grave lol

The F1 press release is pretty transparent on that part:

"Over the course of this year, they have achieved operational milestones and made clear their commitment to brand the eleventh team GM/Cadillac, and that GM will enter as an engine supplier at a later time. Formula 1 is therefore pleased to move forward with this application process and will provide further updates in due course."

They are straight up saying that they approved the bid because of the team's branding being Cadillac and not Andretti. Which is a really weird statement IMO - do they actually have brand research numbers saying that Cadillac as a brand "brings more value"? Or are they really petty about not wanting the Andretti name in F1? Imo it's even possible that one of the Andrettis did something that isn't public and FOM is afraid that if it comes out it might taint the brand image of F1 if there is an Andretti team.

@UrPartnerInCrime @formula1 Really? Why do you like this development?
