Taylor Proto is an entry-level professional competing in shared-car endurance racing. He raced in the GT World Challenge Europe series with Orange 1 FFF Racing Team from 2019 to 2020, making 14 starts in that championship, and took a single start in IMSA WeatherTech's GTD class in 2019 for EBIMOTORS. Graded Silver by the FIA for sportscar racing, Proto competed in fields mixing amateur and semi-professional drivers with established professionals.[1]
Proto's indexed record spans two seasons and 15 starts, all in 2019 and 2020. He finished 38th in the final IMSA WeatherTech standings from his single appearance. In GT World Challenge Europe, he raced regularly alongside Orange 1 FFF Racing Team, which fielded established professionals such as Albert Costa and won 10 races across the index with a field of 21 drivers.[2]
Proto's most frequent opponents were FIA Platinum graded professionals. He typically finished behind Luca Stolz, an established professional with substantial experience in GT racing and touring cars, and Maro Engel, a three-time GT World Challenge Europe champion. Against the strongest drivers in the field, Proto secured isolated results; he finished ahead of Charles Weerts, a four-time GT World Challenge Europe champion, on one occasion, and ahead of Jake Dennis, a 2023 Formula E champion, once as well. These instances came in shared-car racing where multiple drivers share the result, so they represent competitive moments rather than consistent performance against that calibre.
