Wayne Taylor, owner of Wayne Taylor Racing, is considering the possibility of his team competing in both the IMSA Sportscar Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship simultaneously next year. This potential dual European-American campaign was discussed by Taylor and his sons, Ricky and Jordan Taylor, during an IMSA-hosted media Zoom call.
The team has a history of racing in IMSA-affiliated championships, most recently with a factory-supported Cadillac program in the IMSA Sportscar Championship. Taylor’s proposal of switching to single-car programs in both classes would represent a significant change for the factory Cadillac team.
Taylor believes that participating in the WEC would naturally provide valuable experience and insights that could benefit their performance at Le Mans. His team is set to make their Le Mans debut this year with a single Cadillac entry and will be part of a four-car Cadillac program that includes JOTA and Action Express.
Despite friendly relations with JOTA, Taylor acknowledges that competition takes priority on race day. The potential expansion to a dual championship program is still in the early stages of consideration and has not been formally discussed with partners or drivers. Taylor emphasized the team’s commitment to racing and the pursuit of victory as their driving force.
