If 2 more factory teams arrived, I think the Taylors would be in them, 100%. I think they're the best Prototype drivers in North America right now.
If you put them in WEC P2, they'd be some of, if not the best, pros to pair with Ams. They'd be mega in that class.

You can say that about Porsche or Audi using German drivers. I don't think they're as good as Kobayashi or Nakajima. Maybe better than Kunimoto, but he's a rookie, a Super Formula champion rookie lol. Give him some time and he'll be fine. He needs to up his pace in traffic that's the main problem. Who's to say that the Taylor's would do any better though? It takes getting used to the hybrids. The lift and coast, the traffic management, the double stinting, the different tires etc. Maybe GM can put up some money for a real p1 effort and they can be their own stars instead?
