Cadillac F1 CEO Dan Towriss says General Motors’ power unit is scheduled to make its Formula 1 debut in 2029.
Cadillac F1 CEO Dan Towriss announced that the team’s in-house Formula 1 power unit is set to debut in 2029 after starting the season using Ferrari power units as an engine customer.
General Motors is developing its own power unit to make Cadillac a works team, with Towriss providing a positive update on the progress, ahead of schedule for the 2029 debut.
Towriss emphasized that Cadillac’s power unit will have its unique intellectual property separate from Ferrari, as GM works on developing its own engines for F1.
Despite potential upcoming regulatory changes in 2031, Cadillac is on track to have its power unit ready for the current regulations until 2030.
Towriss stressed the importance of seeing a Cadillac power unit on the grid as soon as possible, even though the investment might only yield two seasons of competitiveness in Formula 1.
