A new company, GM Performance Power Units LLC, has been established to build engines for the American team TWG Motorsports, spearheaded by an industry veteran. TWG Motorsports and General Motors are bringing Cadillac into F1, with plans for their team to use Ferrari power units until GM develops their own in 2028. Russ O’Blenes, an experienced motor racing engineer, has been appointed as CEO of the new venture. The team aims to set new standards of performance and innovation in Formula 1 with O’Blenes and team principal Graeme Lowdon at the helm. GM president Mark Reuss believes O’Blenes’ extensive experience makes him the right choice to lead the team in showcasing GM’s engineering and technology capabilities in F1 globally.
