TWG Global rules out sale of Cadillac F1 team and motorsport assets
TWG Global has moved to quash speculation about the future of its motorsport portfolio, including its Formula One operation with Cadillac, declaring the assets are not for sale. The statement comes as billionaire chief executive Mark Walter's sporting interests face increased scrutiny following his sale of the Los Angeles Lakers.

The motorsport company made clear its commitment to its racing operations during the Formula One paddock at Zandvoort in the Netherlands on Tuesday, shutting down market talk about potential changes to its ownership structure.
Walter's decision to divest the Lakers, one of the National Basketball Association's most high-profile franchises, had prompted questions about whether other major sporting assets under his control might be on the block. TWG Global's statement directly addresses those concerns, signalling stability within its motorsport division.
The company's F1 operation, built around the Cadillac marque, represents a significant investment in motorsport as the sport continues to attract capital from wealthy individuals and corporations seeking global visibility. By confirming the team's long-term future, TWG Global is providing clarity to stakeholders, competitors and sponsors alike.
TWG Global's motorsport interests extend beyond Formula One, encompassing a broader portfolio of racing operations. The company's reaffirmation of its commitment suggests Walter remains focused on building these ventures despite his recent basketball exit.
