2026-10-15


            

With the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar series championship secured and two rounds left to run in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), Cadillac Racing is confirming its driver lineup for the 2027 season.

 

IMSA

As Cadillac begins its fifth year of IMSA GTP competition, the program will pair the continuity of its proven full-season combinations with the strength and versatility of its endurance-race drivers. The 2027 roster is positioned to carry the momentum of a historic 2026 campaign into the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona and the full IMSA GTP schedule.

 

Cadillac Racing’s 2027 IMSA GTP driver roster:

 

Cadillac Whelen (No. 31)

 

Jack Aitken, Frederik Vesti (season)

 

Earl Bamber (endurance races)

 

Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing (No. 10)

 

Ricky Taylor, Filipe Albuquerque (season)

 

Will Stevens (endurance races)

 

Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing (No. 40)

 

Jordan Taylor, Louis Deletraz (season)

 

Norman Nato (endurance races)

 

The fourth driver for the Action Express Racing No. 31 in the Rolex 24 at Daytona will be announced at a later date.

 

“We are proud to carry the momentum of our championship-winning 2026 season into 2027 with a driver lineup that combines proven IMSA experience, championship-caliber performance and the depth required to compete across the full GTP schedule,” said Eric Warren, Vice President, Global Motorsports Competition for General Motors. “Our three Cadillac V-Series.R programs have demonstrated remarkable consistency and pace, and this roster gives each team a strong platform for the 2027 season. The goal is clear: defend our titles, continue building on Cadillac's endurance racing legacy and pursue success at every round, beginning with the Rolex 24 At Daytona.”

 

WEC

For its third year running the V-Series.R in the Hypercar class, Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA will feature a roster of veterans.

Jack Aitken

 

Norman Nato

 

Ricky Taylor

 

Will Stevens

 

“We are delighted to welcome Antonio and Ricky to Cadillac for 2027,” said Warren. “Both drivers bring experience, race-winning pedigree and technical expertise to the team. In a series where teamwork and chemistry are vital, Ricky and Antonio already have a long-standing relationship with everyone at Cadillac. Together with Jack, Earl, Norman and Will, this provides a strong foundation for the season.”

 

Returning to JOTA, Antonio Felix da Costa needs little introduction. He previously raced for the team during one of the most successful periods in its history and is a race winner in both prototype and GT competition. The Portuguese star is one of endurance racing's most accomplished competitors, with an FIA World Endurance Championship title and a class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans among his achievements.

 

Cadillac Racing driver Ricky Taylor is also familiar with Cadillac Hertz Team JOTA, having raced for the team at Circuit of the Americas earlier this year, while Alex Lynn recovered from surgery. An IMSA veteran, Taylor has built an impressive resume in the pinnacle of American sports car racing, with 32 victories and 76 podium finishes.

 

Alex Lynn and Sébastien Bourdais will depart the team at the end of the current season.

 

“Sébastien and Alex have made important contributions to Cadillac Racing and to the growth of this program over their many years with the team,” said Warren. “While this particular chapter may be coming to a close, their contribution and commitment will always be valued, and they will remain respected and important members of the Cadillac family.”
