General Motors is officially approved to be an engine supplier in Formula 1. But the company’s power units won’t be in an F1 race for quite some time. The FIA announced Wednesday that GM’s bid to provide power to the new Cadillac team had gotten the go-ahead.

General Motors will become an official Formula One power unit supplier in 2029, the sport's world governing body said on Wednesday.

Formula 1's governing body says it has approved General Motors' plans to supply engines for the new Cadillac team from 2029. The FIA's approval on Wednesday comes after GM's Cadillac brand got the final signoff to join the F1 grid next year as the 11th team.
