Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac confirmed for 2025 Le Mans debut
Wayne Taylor Racing’s journey to Le Mans is a story steeped in both professional achievement and personal legacy.
Wayne Taylor himself a veteran of thirteen Le Mans starts—including three with Cadillac between 2000 and 2002—now sees his sons Ricky and Jordan Taylor preparing to compete in the world’s most prestigious endurance race under the family banner.
The Taylor brothers who previously celebrated victory with their father at the 2017 Rolex 24 at Daytona will be joined by the accomplished Portuguese driver Filipe Albuquerque – an 11-time Le Mans competitor and 2020 LMP2 class winner.
This formidable driver lineup brings a blend of experience, skill, and familial pride to the #101 Cadillac entry, fueling hopes for a strong performance in their maiden Le Mans campaign.
The livery’s unveiling comes at a pivotal time for Cadillac Racing as the brand aims to contend for outright victory at Le Mans 24 Hours, competing alongside other Cadillac entries such as the #12 and #38 V-Series.Rs fielded by Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA and the #311 Cadillac Whelen.
These entries collectively represent General Motors’ robust commitment to endurance racing excellence.
The race will serve as a litmus test for Wayne Taylor Racing’s capabilities on the world stage. While the team boasts an impressive pedigree in North American endurance racing—including four victories at the Daytona 24 Hours between 2017 and 2021 as well as triumphs at the Sebring 12 Hours—Le Mans presents a unique set of challenges.
The Circuit de la Sarthe with its blend of high-speed straights, technical corners, and unpredictable weather demands not only mechanical robustness but also flawless teamwork and strategic acumen.
As a rookie team at Le Mans, WTR faces a steep learning curve, yet the collective experience of its drivers and technical staff positions them as credible contenders for a top finish.
