F1 News: Andretti realigns with Cadillac in IMSA ahead of F1 entry

As previously rumored, Michael Andretti has made it official and synchronized its sports car program with its F1 Cadillac ambitions.

Wayne Taylor Racing is part of Andretti Global, combining the resources of two championship-caliber teams to compete in the top classes of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the North America Lamborghini Super Trofeo series.

On Thursday it was announced that WTR Andretti was switching from Acura to Cadillac in IMSA in 2025, making that rumor ‘fact.’

GM Motorsports’ history with Wayne Taylor dates to 1990 when the South African native turned his first laps in the U.S. as a General Motors factory driver in a Chevrolet-powered GTP race car. His success as a driver and team owner has included racing with multiple GM brands including Chevrolet and Cadillac. During its previous relationship with Cadillac (2017-2020), Wayne Taylor Racing won three Rolex 24 At Daytona titles (2017, 2019, 2020), two Petit Le Mans races (2018, 2020) and the Twelve Hours of Sebring event (2017). In 2017, the team set an unprecedented five-race win streak with the Cadillac DPi and went on to win the IMSA WeatherTech Driver and Manufacturer’s Championships.

“I am so glad to return to the Cadillac family,” said Wayne Taylor, team principal, whose team last raced for Cadillac in the 2020 IMSA season. “Having teamed with GM for so many years, with so many wins and championships, and having enjoyed such a fantastic relationship with them, this global program we have put together could not be more thrilling. We have exciting things coming and I look forward to discussing our commercial relationships in the coming months.”

Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing will run two Cadillac V-Series.Rs in the 2025 IMSA season.
