Racing around the world
December 19, 2025Newsletter Archives
General Motors races almost everywhere that cars compete. In the US, you see Chevrolet competing in NASCAR, IndyCar, IMSA, Best in the Desert Off-Road Trucks, and NHRA. Chevrolet also competes in GT3 sports car racing with Corvette across the globe, as well as the Supercars series in Australia and New Zealand. Cadillac competes at the top level of prototype sports-car racing in both the U.S.-based IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship, which competes in eight countries around the globe, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
All this racing experience will feed directly into the new Cadillac Formula 1® Team as it prepares for the 2026 racing season.
“GM is racing and winning in many premier race series worldwide.” says Eric Warren, GM Vice President of Global Motorsports Competition. “In each series, GM Motorsports gains knowledge, and our people are battle-tested and proven on all the skillsets we need.”
That global racing experience is already being put to work. The people and technology that GM Motorsports develops and uses in racing today will directly benefit the Cadillac Formula 1® Team in 2026. And you can read all about it on GM News.
“When you start in Formula 1®, nobody hands you a toolset,” explains Ken Morris, GM Senior Vice President of product programs, product safety, integration and motorsports. “We have a massive stockpile of skills we can modify for use in Formula 1®.”
Elsewhere on GM News this week, we brought you news of Apple Music coming natively to GM vehicles; unveiled Explore250, a road-trip app that celebrates America’s 250th birthday; and got ready for the holiday season with Chevy’s Holiday Magic Tour and the return of OnStar’s Santa Tracker.
From race cars to reindeer, and everything in between, here’s wishing you a happy holiday season from all of us at General Motors.
