Industrial AI platform to power operations, supply chain, and engineering as the new F1 team prepares for its first season
IFS has entered into a strategic partnership with the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, positioning its industrial software platform at the core of the team’s operations as it prepares for its highly anticipated Formula 1 debut in 2026.
The collaboration brings together two organizations driven by precision, speed, and innovation—hallmarks of elite motorsport and modern industrial technology. As the official technology partner, IFS software will support multiple operational functions across the Cadillac Formula 1® Team, helping the organization scale rapidly while meeting the sport’s demanding performance and regulatory requirements.
The implementation of IFS began well before the team’s formal entry into Formula 1 was confirmed. Initially focused on core financials and procurement, the rollout has since expanded to include supply chain, production, quality, inventory, and engineering management. These capabilities ensure critical components are available when needed, enabling smoother coordination across design, manufacturing, and race operations.
By delivering real-time insights and optimizing resource utilization, IFS enables the team to make faster, data-driven decisions—an essential advantage in a sport governed by strict cost caps and technical regulations. Automation and streamlined workflows reduce manual effort, allowing engineers and operations teams to focus on performance-critical activities both on and off the track.
“Formula 1 is a sport where milliseconds matter, and technology can be the difference between winning and losing.”
— Mark Moffat, Chief Executive Officer, IFS
Tyler Epp, Global Head of Commercial Strategy at the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, said IFS has played a vital role in launching the first new Formula 1 team in over a decade. He noted that adopting the platform early helped establish best practices, manage complexity, and accelerate innovation across the organization as it scaled toward competition readiness.
Beyond operational enablement, the partnership also places IFS at the center of one of the world’s most data-intensive sporting environments. The collaboration will showcase how industrial software performs under extreme conditions, with IFS branding featured across Cadillac Formula 1 Team assets, including race cars, driver gear, and official team apparel.
As Cadillac Formula 1 Team builds its foundation for long-term competitiveness, the partnership underscores how industrial AI and intelligent automation are becoming as critical to success in motorsport as engineering excellence and driver skill.
