The series, announced recently, offers an exclusive look at the formation of Formula 1's 11th team, following their official approval in March 2025.

The Challenge Ahead

With less than 250 days remaining until their inaugural race in Melbourne, General Motors' Cadillac team is racing against time. The task involves designing and manufacturing competitive cars from their bases in Silverstone and the United States. So far, 400 of the required 600 staff have been assembled, highlighting the scale of this ambitious project.

Keanu Reeves: The Perfect Host

Keanu Reeves, a well-known motorsport enthusiast, will serve as both host and executive producer for the series. Joining him are Simon Hammerson, the award-winning executive director and producer from Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story, and Neil Duncanson, a three-time BAFTA-winning executive producer. Reeves expressed his excitement, stating, "I'm very honored and excited to be a part of telling the remarkable Cadillac Formula 1 Team story and its incredible journey into the world of Formula 1 racing."

A Story of Ambition and Innovation

The documentary aims to showcase the unique challenges faced by General Motors and TWG Motorsports as they strive to assemble a competitive team on an accelerated timeline. It also promises to provide a first-hand account of the vision behind establishing a strong American presence in a sport traditionally dominated by European powerhouses.

Growing Popularity of F1 in the U.S.

The series will also explore the backdrop of Formula 1's growing popularity in the United States and globally. With the sport attracting a new generation of fans, Cadillac's entry could not be more timely. Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports and the Cadillac F1 Team, emphasized the significance of this venture, saying, "This is a story of bold ambition and relentless drive. We're honored to work with Keanu, whose passion and knowledge of racing runs deep."
