General Motors Corp., after a series of twists and complications, received final approval to go racing in Formula One in 2026.

Cadillac’s new Formula One team has received final approval from F1 and its governing body, the FIA, to join the grid in 2026. In November, F1 announced it had agreed in principle to allow General Motors, the American car giant, to race from next year with its Cadillac brand, provisionally expanding the field to 11 teams.

The FIA and Formula 1 confirmed Friday that Cadillac's entry into the sport has been approved for 2026, officially paving the way for the American company to field a team. The F1 grid will now rise to 11 race teams next season,
