General Motors in the United States has been officially approved as the Formula 1 engine for the 2029 season.
This development, which was announced jointly by the FIA and Generaral Motors Board, is the first time that a specific year has been placed on the appearance of the GM engine.
The introduction of the new General Motors team, which will race under the luxury Cadillac brand, was approved last month.
Cadillac will appear for the first time as one team next year, and will use Ferrari engines to become a GM engine ready.
General Motors was initially refused by the F1 commercial rights holder at the beginning of 2024, after his approval by FIA.
It was approved by F1 after reshaping the project as an official entry of Cadillac, instead of Andreiti Racing in the United States with Mali General Motors.
General Motors has established a new engine to design and build the new energy unit.
A spokesman for GM confirmed to the BBC Sport that the manufacturer is committed to the F1 “ready (end of the contract) engine.
“Although the operation was sometimes difficult, the progress that we see today confirms that the trip was worthy of attention.
“The welcoming of the power units in General Motors LLC. As an accredited resource of the energy unit of the championship that begins in 2029, it represents another step in global expansion in Formula 1 and highlights the increasing attention from global auto manufacturers such as General Motors.”
Under the current F1 bases, the 2029 season will be operated to the new engine regulations that are presented for the next year and will be appointed until the end of 2030.
This revised version of the 1.6 -liter turbo hybrid engines that F1 has been used since 2014, but simplifying its technology with the increase in the power rate provided by the electrical part of the engine to about 50 % of 20 % currently.
Two weeks ago, the F1 engines refused a proposal from Ben Sulaim to introduce the naturally inhaled V10 engines before the end of the next rules cycle.
The meeting agreed to continue to talk about the future of F1 engines with the possibility of reviewing the rules before 2031.
However, manufacturers committed to hybrids as part of the F1 engine technology in the future.
