NICOLAS TAYLOR: A CHAMPION ON THE RISE

At 16, Nicolas Taylor sat in a racing simulator for the first time and taught himself how to race. What started as a self-driven passion quickly turned into a relentless pursuit of excellence. Later that same year, he transitioned to real-world racing, proving that skill, determination, and technology could pave the way to success. By 18, he had already secured his first national karting title in Italy. On his 19th birthday, he made history—winning both the 2024 TCR Italy Championship and the TCR Italy Rookie Championship, becoming the youngest and first Canadian to ever claim the prestigious title in a debut season.

Nic’s dominance didn’t stop there. His exceptional performance earned him recognition as the top-ranked rookie TCR driver worldwide and a spot in the Top 25 race car drivers on the planet for 2024. Adding to his accolades, he was honored with the prestigious Caschi d’Oro award at The Golden Helmet Awards, placing him alongside some of the sport’s most celebrated names.

With back-to-back Italian championships and a remarkable debut in TCR racing, Nic’s consistent top-level performance underscores his readiness to tackle even greater challenges in 2025. His relentless dedication to simulator training, combined with his discipline and racecraft, has made him one of the most standout drivers in the European paddock. His unconventional journey—from virtual racing to real-world champion—continues to inspire fans, young drivers, and sponsors alike, making him one of the most exciting prospects in motorsport today.
