The duo of Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R GTP’s took on the Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International with the hopes of repeating their remarkable 2025 effort where the team saw their first double-podium effort.  

The No. 10 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R tackled the six-hour endurance starting seventh on the grid with Filipe Albuquerque first up behind the wheel. As Albuquerque saw the green flag wave, he kept things clean and settled into his on-track position during the first racing laps around The Glen. In the No. 40 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R, Louis Delétraz handled the qualifying duties securing a third-place start on the grid for Sunday. At the drop of the green flag, Delétraz was ready to make his way forward and was focused on maintaining pace with the lead pack of GTP’s.

The first two hours of competition saw little opportunity for progression up the field, with a slew of full course yellows taking away from racing time. Both the No. 40 and No. 10 teams came in under caution for a full tank of fuel and new set of tires before taking to the restart from fourth and fifth respectively.

Albuquerque and Delétraz maintained position on the restart, seeing another series of yellow’s before coming into pit lane under caution to hand over driving duties to Ricky Taylor and Jordan Taylor respectively. The two brothers each settled into the on-track action quickly, showing the speed of the Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing V-Series.R’s. As the field went back to green flag racing with Ricky Taylor in the No. 10 taking the title of fastest man on track at the time before light contact in traffic unfortunately slowed his pace.

Another full course yellow saw the No. 10 and No. 40 coming into the pits for full service under caution. In the No. 40, Jordan Taylor was settling back into racing speed when an on-track incident caused damage to the right rear tire and bodywork resulting in him returning to pit lane for a speedy repair of the tail wing and a new set of tires.

With 90 minutes remaining, Ricky Taylor and the No. 10 came into pit lane to hand the car back over to Albuquerque, who took a fresh set of tires and fuel. While on pit lane, another full course caution fell and that allowed the No. 10 to cycle up to second before the restart. Jordan Taylor and the No. 40 then came to pit lane in the open pit window to trade driving duties with Deletraz for the remainder of the time.

With just under one-hour remaining, both teams came to pit lane for one last full service stop before heading out for their final stint on track. Minimal cautions in the following this pit sequence made it a game of tire management and fuel saving until the clock expired. Ultimately the No. 10 and No. 40 saw the checkered flag from seventh and eighth place respectively.

“I want to congratulate Cadillac, Cadillac Whelen and the drivers on their win,” said co-owner, Wayne Taylor.” The team did a great job. We will regroup for Road America.”

The duo of Cadillac Wayne Taylor GTPs have a few weekends off before they head to Road America for testing ahead of their next endurance race there in the Motul SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix on July 30 – August 2, 2026.

Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing Driver Quotes

Ricky Taylor, full season co-driver, No. 10 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “I think we were pretty upbeat throughout practice about the car, and then the race came around and we just got stuck in the mid-pack. We actually got lucky with that yellow at the end, but these P7 finishes are just kind of torture at this point. Yeah, I don't know what we're missing today. We'll keep working. We have a test in Road America before the race. So our first time getting a good test since Sebring, which was our best race of the year. So hopefully we can learn something, but at this point, pretty frustrated.”

Filipe Albuquerque, full season co-driver, No. 10 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “A long race, a lot happened. A lot of chaos and a lot of safety cars. It's just a shame because today we had the opportunity for a podium. Unfortunately, the last pit stop, the other guys over cut us, and we struggled a lot behind somebody and we could not pass. So, those three cars that did it a lap after and they were on full tires. I could not pass them. And I think that dictated a lot because then trying to pass them, I cooked my tires and after that was a spiral, surviving for the rest of the race. I could still not pass them and I just went backwards. It's a shame. ?It is what it is. I think we still need to work more. The whole team is getting better. I think we're working well, but we're still missing the switch that makes the car alive. So, onto Road America. In between we will test, so that's going to be important for us.”

Jordan Taylor, full season co-driver, No. 40 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “A disappointing day overall. I think we had a really fast car. We saw it in qualifying and then in the first couple stints, Louis seemed really strong. In my stint, I thought we had a good car as well, and I was making a move for a third on the 6 car, and I should have probably known who I was racing and knew he probably wouldn't leave much room. He hit me in the right rear in the Bus Stop, which sent us off and gave us damage, so that kind of put us on the back foot the rest of the day. Which is unfortunate because I think we should have been on the podium today, and that kind of killed us. So, kind of the way our season has been going, but at least we've got some speed in the car, and we can go to Road America with that.”

Louis Delétraz, full season co-driver, No. 40 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “A pretty crazy race today. First of all, big congrats to Cadillac and the 31 team. Great win for the Cadillac family. Obviously frustrating for our side. We got a hit in the middle of the race and that punctured one tire and broke our rear wing; which we were upfront and it cycled us completely to the back. So very unfortunate and kind of screwed our race after this. We tried to recover, tried different strategy, but the luck never came back. Not the result we live for, but a huge thank to you to Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing and I'm looking forward to Road America.”
