Three-time sports-car-racing champion Wayne Taylor started Wayne Taylor Racing in 2007, along with his teammate Max Angelelli. As a driver, Taylor has won some of the most prestigious events in all of motorsports around the world – the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Rolex 24 At Daytona (twice), the 12 Hours of Sebring, and the inaugural Petit Le Mans in 1998. To cap it all off, Taylor teamed with Max “The Ax” Angelelli to win the 2005 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series championship in a season that began with his second career Rolex 24 win and ended with five wins and 10 podium finishes in 14 races, and the completion of all 2,056 race laps contested that year. Since its beginnings in 2007, Taylor’s entries have finished in the top-three in the Rolex Series and subsequent IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship standings every year but one, highlighted by the 2013 Prototype-class championship co-driven by Angelelli and younger son Jordan Taylor, and the 2017 title co-driven to by brothers Jordan and Ricky Taylor. In 2017, Wayne Taylor’s career with manufacturer Cadillac went full circle with the introduction of the all-new No. 10 Konica Minolta Cadillac DPi-V.R. From 2000 through 2002, Taylor campaigned and co-drove the historic Cadillac NorthStar LMP900 prototype in the IMSA America Le Mans Series. Taylor has been inducted into both the South Africa Hall of Fame as well as the Sebring International Raceway Hall of Fame.

As a driver, veteran Italian Max “The Ax” Angelelli was known for his flamboyant ability to cut through race traffic as one of the winningest drivers in North American sports car racing history with 27 career victories. Since joining forces with three-time champion Wayne Taylor in 1999, he has also been a flamboyant partner both on and off the racetrack with Taylor. They co-drove to a runner-up finish in the 1999 Rolex 24 At Daytona in the Doyle-Risi Racing Ferrari. Angelelli and Taylor then collaborated in the historic Cadillac NorthStar LMP900 prototype in IMSA American Le Mans Series competition from 2000 through 2002. From 2004 through 2006, Angelelli and Taylor were perennial championship contenders in the Grand-Am Rolex SportsCar Series, winning the title in 2005 in runaway fashion. And in 2007, Angelelli was a partner with Taylor in forming Wayne Taylor Racing, going on to co-drive to 17 victories in seven full-time seasons from 2007 through 2013, culminating with the 2013 Rolex Series championship alongside Taylor’s younger son Jordan Taylor. He took a part-time driving role while increasing his team management responsibilities in 2014, co-driving with the Taylor brothers to victory alongside brothers Ricky and Jordan Taylor in the 2014 season-ending Petit Le Mans. In 2017, Angelelli saw the fruition of a two-year project he was deeply involved in, working with Cadillac, Dallara and Earnhardt Childress Racing engines to orchestrate the historic introduction of the Cadillac DPi-V.R.
