Spark 1:43 Cadillac MAC-26 F1 Team 2026 Sergio Perez Barcelona Pre-Season Shakedown (S9395) Resin Model

Add a Formula 1 shakedown car to your collection with the Cadillac F1 Team MAC-26 Barcelona Pre-Season Shakedown 2026. This officially licensed replica represents the Cadillac F1 Team’s first car, driven by Sergio Perez during its initial track running ahead of the 2026 season.

The MAC-26 marks Cadillac’s entry into Formula 1 as the grid’s eleventh team, developed to meet the sweeping 2026 technical regulations that introduced new chassis dimensions, active aerodynamics and a 50/50 split between internal combustion and electrical power within the hybrid power unit. The project was built up from the General Motors performance arm in partnership with Andretti’s racing infrastructure, with a manufacturing base established in the United States and an engineering hub in the United Kingdom. As a power unit customer for its debut season, the team focused its in-house effort on chassis design, aerodynamics and integration. The signing of an experienced grand prix winner alongside a programme of intensive pre-season running was central to its strategy of gathering data quickly. The Barcelona shakedown was the car’s first meaningful exposure to a full circuit lap.

At the Barcelona pre-season shakedown in 2026, the MAC-26 completed a filming day run on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, the traditional benchmark venue for Formula 1 systems checks. Shakedown sessions are limited in mileage under regulations but allow the team to verify installation work, correlate wind tunnel and simulator data and prepare for official pre-season testing. As an introductory outing rather than a competitive session, no race result applies, but the appearance marked the public debut of the chassis and Sergio Perez’s first laps in Cadillac colours.

Made by Spark Models in 1:43 scale, this resin model measures approximately 11cm long and is presented on a branded display base under a clear acrylic cover. Spark’s 1:43 resin F1 models are sealed bodies with no functional openings, focusing on accurate proportions, decal placement and panel detail. At this scale the car sits comfortably alongside other grand prix replicas from across the eras and suits collectors building a season-by-season grid.

A strong choice for Cadillac and General Motors enthusiasts, Sergio Perez followers tracking his return to the grid, and Formula 1 collectors documenting the new entrants and regulation changes of the 2026 season.

Understanding Scale

The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
