| DETROIT (March 11, 2026) – Louis Deletraz, driver of the No. 40 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing was a guest at an IMSA media teleconference to discuss the 74th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. Deletraz will drive with Jordan Taylor and Colton Herta at Sebring on March 21. Transcript of select questions: Thoughts on Sebring? “Sebring is always so exciting and it’s one of the best races on the calendar. We had great success in 2024 with the win. I think it was one of the best races in my career so far and hopefully we can do it again. And being back with Jordan (Taylor) and Colton (Herta) brings good memories and good vibes. I think we’ve been pretty good so far and the Cadillac was pretty strong at Sebring as we tested for two days. We had some time to prep well and I’m excited because I think we have a good shot at it.” |
| Where do you feel the program is right now to have those regular and consistent results during the season? “For sure the switch of manufacturer last year from Acura to Cadillac there are a lot of new people and new things to learn and a new car for everyone. That took some time to get together, and we were pretty behind every other team who knew the cars already. In such a competitive field, it’s hard to catch up. You can already see starting this year at Daytona with the people it’s just so much easier to work together. You know where to focus and where to find performance from. Straight from that we are more competitive. In Daytona, unfortunately on the 40 side, we had an issue during the night so we lost pace at the end of the race so we couldn’t fight for it. But I’ve very confident this year will be a lot better and speaking with the engineers and the people at Cadillac you just feel ease it comes from that. Now what we need to unlock and keep working on those areas. Obviously, all the manufacturers keep improving and we cannot just rest on what we know. We’ll push the limit on everything and I think we’re learning about this new package which Cadillac brought and are all positive and bringing consistency and again, when we go to a track like Sebring, with all the bumps, it’s should be positive for us.” |

| Can you talk about your team with Colton and Jordan? “Jordan, Colton and I have a great relationship and have a lot of fun. That matters when you trust in each other and you can push together. The last thing you want is a teammate that has a big ego or an inter-team fight and thankfully we are very safe and enjoy driving with each other. We have a good memory of 2024 and that was a team effort. I’m glad we were able to get together, and we know what we want.” What did you learn about yourself from last season to this season as you are basically starting with a clean slate? “Last year was tough and it’s not what you want as a race car driver. I want to win and have been trying to win titles every year but last year was tough. We had podium at Watkins Glen, the first double podium for Wayne Taylor Racing and that was the positive, but I think over the year we lacked pace and without pace it’s a lot harder to make things happen. We learned we need to be fast and put everything together because competition is fierce. You can be fast but not do a great strategy or drivers make mistakes and you don’t get to win. You need to be absolutely perfect so after every weekend we worked hard trying to perfect things and the goal this year is to come into every race and in the last two hours be in a position to win. If we do that properly then we will be a position to win the championship. Sebring and Le Mans you always want to win, but I’ll take a championship with consistency too.” |
