Overview
- Executive engineering consultant Pat Symonds called the scale of creating a new team on a 364‑day timeline from the 7 March entry to Australia FP1 “pretty frightening.”
- A prototype chassis completed earlier this year was used to validate processes and pass new safety tests in the second quarter.
- The first race‑intent chassis is scheduled for FIA homologation and crash tests in the coming weeks.
- Cadillac’s workforce has grown to 426, up from 159 at the start of the year and 209 at the time of official entry.
- Operations are centered on a new Silverstone base with support from GM facilities in Charlotte, with a Fishers, Indiana headquarters slated for mid‑2026 as the team targets a 2026 Melbourne debut.
