The Cadillac Formula One team has announced the signing of Tyler Epp as its first Global Head of Commercial Strategy. Before this appointment, he was the president of the Miami Grand Prix.
Epp oversaw the organization’s motorsports business operations at the Miami International Autodrome at Hard Rock Stadium, the grand prix, and the Precision Drive Club. The Miami GP witnessed huge success under Epp’s leadership, with it being sold out every year and generating four of the five largest live U.S. TV audiences in F1 history.
