Editor's note: In post-qualifying technical inspection, it was discovered that the No. 60 car failed to comply within LMDh bodywork tolerances. With the penalty, it will lose its qualifying times and drop to the rear of the GTP class. The No. 40 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R GTP will now start second and the No. 10 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R GTP will start third for Sunday's race.

An impressive pair of qualifying results for the Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing GTP team at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to start on the second row, a part of 2-3-4 starting positions for Cadillac Racing. Ricky Taylor handled the 15-minute session in the No. 10 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R GTP while it was Louis Delétraz in the No. 40 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R GTP. Saturday’s qualifying was the best combined results for the team in 2025. 

Electing to run an install lap then pit for tires, the No. 10 and No. 40 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R GTPs pitted for a fresh set of tires after the session went green. Looking for clear track positions, Delétraz and Taylor were heads down to find the limit around the 2.439-mile road course. Delétraz piloted the No. 40 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R GTP into third position on the time sheet with his fastest time of 01:14.715 – their best qualifying of the year. Taylor searched for the clean lap and was able to post the fourth-fastest time in the session at 01:14.804.

Ricky Taylor, full season co-driver, No. 10 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “Strong weekend so far for the No. 10. Filipe and I are very happy with the car. Qualifying was strong, but I think we missed the peak of the tire a little bit. Maybe we would have had a shot for P2. Good day for Cadillac with three cars in the top four. I think we’ve got a very strong race car for tomorrow. Hopefully, we can execute and do all the little things right.”

Louis Delétraz, full season co-driver, No. 40 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “Best qualification of the year, so very pleased with that. P3 is a good position to start the race. Good job by all the boys and girls at Wayne Taylor Racing and Cadillac. I think we have a competitive package for the race. Maybe some mixed conditions tomorrow, which I think we should be competitive in and hopefully go get our first victory, so I’m very excited. I think here with all of the traffic and the track layout, there is likely to be a lot of yellows, which means restart racing and a long and intense race.”
