Ricky Taylor and co-driver Filipe Albuquerque have found themselves in somewhat of a paradox as the GTP point leaders with two rounds remaining of the IMSA SportsCar Championship.
“It's seven cars within striking distance of the championship still and only two races to go,” Taylor said. “I think the difference maker for us to win a race will be just on execution.
“At this point in the year, there are some teams that are willing to take more risks. Mosport, for example, Shank gambled massively on yellows, and they got the yellows. Without that we were the leader on our strategy, and so they were willing to take more risk than everybody else was willing to take.
“I think we're just going to do our thing and manage our race the best that we can and put forth as much risk as we can at this point in the championship. If we don't win a race this year and we win the championship, I think we'll be pretty happy because the last two seasons we won like four or five races a year and didn't win the championship.
“I think you have to put it in your own hands at one point. In our minds, we're treating it like just a reset,” he said. “Everybody's even, let's just go attack the last two races and take risks. “That's how we normally race, and just see how it plays out because if you leave it up to everybody else, they're too strong and you can't rely on mistakes.”
