For the 2e consecutive year, Louis Delétraz will be at the start of the 24 Hours of Daytona (January 26 to 29). If he disputed them with Tower Motorsport in LMP2 in 2022, the Swiss will this time move up to the next category, GTP (replacing the queen category DPi in IMSA), where he will represent Wayne Taylor Racing.
The structure based in Indianapolis (Indiana) has indeed revealed the identity of the 4 drivers who will take turns at the wheel of the Acura ARX-06 LMDh during the next 24 Hours of Daytona. In Florida, Louis Delétraz will therefore be supported by Ricky Taylor and Felipe Albuquerque. The trio will be joined by Brendon Hartley who contested Petit Le Mans with Wayne Taylor Racing last weekend.

For Louis Delétraz, the 24 Hours of Daytona will not be his only race with the team founded by Wayne Taylor. The former Haas reserve driver in F1 will be at the rendezvous of all the Endurance rounds in IMSA next year.
» I can’t imagine a better team than the one we havesays owner Wayne Taylor. It will be a tough race. We’ve won a few of those races – that’s what my team does best, and I just have to make sure they have all the tools they need. I couldn’t be happier to have Brendon (Hartley) back and I’ve been watching Louis (Deletraz) for a while. He has experience. He’s young, but he’s very, very mature and he understands what it takes to be that third driver. »
