Ricky Taylor

Ricky Taylor grew up in a family closely connected to motorsport, and gained his first experiences behind the wheel in karting. These early years on the kart track laid the foundation for a career that would guide him progressively through American junior racing series. Even as a teenager, he demonstrated an extraordinary feel for race tactics and vehicle control, qualities that would later distinguish him in prototype classes.

The path from karting to professional racing series ran through various formula and GT3 stops, where Taylor continuously refined his talent. With growing experience in more powerful vehicles, he proved himself for deployments in the major North American long-distance racing series, before making the jump to the FIA WEC. This international step marked his transition from a promising junior driver to a permanent fixture in the global long-distance racing circuit.

Among the greatest successes of his career are numerous podium finishes and victories in prestigious long-distance races, which he has secured over the years for various factory teams. Particularly his time in renowned prototype programs brought him international recognition, as he proved himself there as a consistent and fast driver in changing track conditions. These successes formed the basis for his current standing as one of the most experienced prototype drivers of his generation.

In the 2026 season, Ricky Taylor continues to compete in the FIA WEC, where he fights for class victories and championship points with his teammate in a factory program. The goal for the coming season is to build on the consistency of past years and establish the team in the top positions of the overall standings. Fans and observers of the scene expect exciting battles at the front of the field from him again when the long-distance racing season gets into full swing.
