Taylor, 33, of Forest City, Florida, joins a stellar roster of past membership chairpersons, including Brian Redman, Helio Castroneves, Mario Andretti, Lyn St. James, Phil Hill, Dan Gurney, Sir Stirling Moss, among other illustrious icons of motorsports.
Taylor’s duties for the year include being an advocate in support of the IMRRC’s mission to collect, preserve and share the global history of motorsports, and to help create sustainability by drawing in new generations of motor racing fans.
“I am a huge fan of motorsports, obviously, growing up around the sport and being around sports car racing in particular, as long as I can remember,” said Taylor, son of IMSA team owner and three time World Sportscar Champion, Wayne Taylor. “I’ve always been a fan of the history of the sport, especially my dad’s generation, and the different evolutions of race cars. For me, just being a big fan of the sport makes this assignment exciting for me.”
Taylor’s racing career began in 2011, competing for Autohaus Motorsports. He then moved to Corvette Racing from 2012-2017. Now racing for Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing in IMSA, Taylor and the team won the 2024 12 Hours of Sebring, and were third at the Rolex 24 At Daytona. During his tenure with WTR and Cadillac Racing, he’s collected two overall Prototype championships (2013 and 2017) and two overall Rolex 24 wins (2017 and 2019). Prior to his return to prototype racing, Taylor captured two GTLM championships in 2020 and 2021, a third in GTD-Pro in 2022 and a GTLM class victory at the 2021
Rolex 24.
“I’m probably one of the younger people who has been honored with this position at the IMRRC,” added Taylor. “I think I can connect to the younger generation, who may not appreciate the history of the sport as much as the older generation. I’d like to help my generation get up to speed.”
Mark Steigerwald, Executive Director of the IMRRC, welcomed Taylor, saying, “We are honored to have Jordan join our team as this year’s membership chairperson. I’m confident his passion for the sport as an advocate for the Center’s mission will reach all generations of motor racing fans who can appreciate what the Center is doing to preserve the sport’s rich history.”
