Wayne Taylor Racing clinches first IMSA win in over two years at Road America
Wayne Taylor Racing secured a breakthrough victory in the Motul SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix at Road America, part of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Endurance Cup. Drivers Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque piloted the No. 10 Cadillac V-Series.R to the win, ending a winless streak that stretched back to Detroit 2024.
The six‑hour race was marked by chaos, with nine full‑course cautions that kept the field under yellow for more than two and a half hours. A decisive crash on the final restart saw Kevin Estre’s Porsche and Jack Aitken’s Cadillac collide at Turn 1, prompting the race to finish behind the safety car. Post‑race penalties dropped the Aston Martin Valkyrie from second place, promoting JDC‑Miller Motorsports’ Porsche to second and the No. 40 WTR Cadillac to third.
The win gave Wayne Taylor Racing its first IMSA triumph in over two years and reshaped the championship standings as the season heads into its final GTP rounds.
