Transition to Acura GTP car “eye-opening” for Jordan Taylor
The 32-year-old Taylor is returning to his father’s Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti team in IMSA after racing for Corvette Racing in the GTLM and GTD Pro categories. He will be co-driving the #40 Acura ARX-06 with Louis Deleetraz in the expanded second entry for the 2024 season. Taylor recently tested the hybrid GTP at Sebring International Raceway and described the experience as “eye-opening.” He mentioned that the car’s systems and controls were overwhelming, with a 30-page steering wheel manual. Taylor found the power and acceleration of the GTP to be incredibly impressive, surpassing his previous experience in the DPi category. He will be participating in a private test at Daytona International Speedway before the season-opening Daytona 24 Hours, where he will be joined by Jenson Button and Colton Herta. Taylor emphasized the need to understand and utilize the car’s systems effectively to make improvements.
