Wayne Taylor Racing Wins Chaotic Road America Six‑Hour After Late Crash Ends Race Under Caution

Post‑race penalties and steward reviews reshuffled the GTP podium and narrowed the title fight while class victories were confirmed.

Overview

  • Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque took the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac to victory, ending the team’s more than two‑year winless run.
  • The six‑hour IMSA race was interrupted repeatedly by incidents and nine full‑course cautions that cost teams more than two hours behind the safety car and forced major fuel and pit‑stop changes.
  • A contact between Kévin Estre and Jack Aitken on the final restart sent both cars into the barriers and left the race effectively finished under yellow while stewards opened a review.
  • Officials applied post‑race penalties, including a drive‑through penalty to Roman De Angelis that demoted the No. 23 Aston Martin and promoted Laurin Heinrich to second, tightening the GTP points battle though published point gaps differ between outlets.
  • Pfaff Motorsports gave the new‑for‑2026 Lamborghini Temerario GT3 its first IMSA endurance win in GTD Pro and the No. 43 Inter Europol ORECA won LMP2, with some classifications still listed as provisional pending final steward decisions.
