Many [[Allard Motor Company|Allard]] automobiles used Cadillac engines. In the 1950s, Cadillac (like all American manufacturers at the time) participated in the [[NASCAR]] [[Sprint Cup Series|Grand National Series]]. The brand disappeared from the series by the 1960s. Cadillac powered the [[Cadillac Northstar LMP]] a [[Le Mans Prototype]] in the early years of the [[American Le Mans Series]] from 2000 to 2002. When the prototype proved unsuccessful, Cadillac withdrew from the series. Cadillac's most successful venture into motorsports in recent years has been its use of the [[CTS-V]] in the [[SCCA World Challenge]] Grand Touring class. Cadillac returned to prototype racing in 2017 with the [[Cadillac DPi-V.R]] in the [[WeatherTech SportsCar Championship]] with considerable success. In 2023, Cadillac entered its [[Cadillac V-Series.R]] into the [[FIA World Endurance Championship]] and [[IMSA SportsCar Championship]]. An official manufacturer entry was entered with [[Chip Ganassi Racing]] in both [[FIA World Endurance Championship]] and [[IMSA SportsCar Championship]] as full season entries. They also provided customer cars to [[Action Express Racing]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-08-24 |title=Action Express Racing "would welcome" chance to race new Cadillac at Le Mans |url=https://www.autosport.com/le-mans/news/action-express-racing-would-welcome-chance-to-race-new-cadillac-at-le-mans/6653044/ |access-date=2024-02-16 |website=www.autosport.com |language=en}}</ref> It will also enter in 2024. ===Formula One=== {{Main|Cadillac in Formula One}} On January 5, 2023, Cadillac's parent company [[General Motors]] announced their intention to enter the Cadillac brand into the [[Formula One World Championship]] in conjunction with [[Andretti Global]].<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.andrettiautosport.com/news/andretti-global-and-general-motors-team-up-in-f1-pursuit/ |title=Andretti Global and General Motors Team Up in F1 Pursuit |publisher=Andretti Autosport |date=January 5, 2023 |access-date=January 6, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |url=https://media.cadillac.com/media/us/en/cadillac/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2023/jan/0105-andretti.html/ |title=Andretti and Cadillac to pursue opportunity to compete in FIA Formula One World Championship |publisher=Cadillac |location=US |date=January 5, 2023 |access-date=January 6, 2023}}</ref> Cadillac planned to produce a Formula One engine for Andretti for the 2028 season. However, on January 31, 2024, the Andretti team was denied the entry for {{F1|2025}} and {{F1|2026}} seasons after being approved by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] in July 2023. Formula One has still not ruled out letting Andretti and Cadillac enter in 2028, assuming Cadillac's engine is ready.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.autoblog.com/2024/01/31/f1-rejects-michael-andrettis-bid-to-join-will-reconsider-when-gm-has-engine-built/| title=F1 rejects Michael Andretti's bid to join, will reconsider when GM has engine built| publisher=Associated Press| website=Autoblog| date=2024-01-31| access-date=2024-02-03}}</ref> On November 25, 2024, Formula One announced that it has reached an agreement in principle with General Motors, allowing them to join the series from the 2026 season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Statement on General Motors application to join FIA Formula One World Championship in 2026 |url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/statement-on-general-motors-application-to-join-fia-formula-one-world.69uoRF1uwHwXkr4efkpnhc |website=Formula 1 |date=2024-11-25 |access-date=2024-11-25}}</ref>
