Louis Deletraz and Jordan Taylor will be full-time co-drivers for the second WTRAndretti Acura ARX-06 GTP entry during next year’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.
The 2024 season will mark the homecoming return of Jordan Taylor to WTRAndretti and prototype racing for the first time since 2019. In recent years, Taylor has been competing in the GTD PRO class and has successfully captured two GTLM championships (2020, ’21) followed up with a third place GTD PRO championship finish in 2022 and a GTLM class victory at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2021.
During Taylor’s seven-year tenure with WTRAndretti, the 32-year-old collected two overall Prototype championships (2013, ’17) and two overall 24 Hours of DAYTONA wins (2017, ’19).
“I’m super excited to be coming back to WTR, now partnered with Andretti Autosport, to go back and fight for overall wins with Acura alongside Louis. After spending seven years with WTR from 2013 to 2019, it’ll be nice to be heading back to work with some familiar faces and some new ones,” Taylor said.Â
After joining WTRAndretti as an IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup co-driver for the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura ARX-06 last year, Louis Delétraz will move into his first full season as a GTP co-driver in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2024.
Delétraz’s resume in sports car racing includes two back-to-back European Le Mans Series Championships (2021, ’22), two-time IMSA LMP2 race winner in 2022 highlighted by an overall LMP2 class win at Petit Le Mans.
To date this season, Delétraz has two wins in the European Le Mans Series, a class podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, two podiums in the FIA World Endurance Championship and a FIA WEC victory at Spa in Belgium.
“I’m excited to announce that Louis Delétraz and Jordan Taylor will be joining WTRAndretti as full-time season drivers of our second Acura ARX-06 GTP race car. Louis has been with us for over a year in our endurance events and has quickly become an integral part of our team. I am looking forward to having Jordan back in our home stable after his great career with Corvette,” said team principal Wayne Taylor.
Jordan Taylor and Delétraz will join WTRAndretti teammates Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque, drivers of the No. 10 Acura ARX-06, to complete the team’s full season co-driver pairings as the team expands to a two-car full factory supported program for 2024.
Additional drivers for the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup and the Rolex 24 At Daytona will be announced in the coming months.
