Overview
- The MAC-26 designation stands for Mario Andretti Cadillac 26 and intentionally embeds his initials in the car’s official record.
- Announced on the eve of Andretti’s 86th birthday, the tribute drew his praise as “the ultimate compliment,” and he serves as a team ambassador.
- The Ferrari-powered MAC-26 logged 3,935 km in winter testing as the new entrant met pre-season deadlines.
- Cadillac will run Ferrari power units and gearboxes from 2026 to 2028, with GM targeting its own power unit from 2029.
- The entry stems from an Andretti Global bid that was later restructured under TWG and GM leadership after Michael Andretti stepped aside.
