Nic Taylor’s Simulation Training Sets Him for On-Track Success

Nicolas Taylor, an 18-year-old Canadian racer living in Malta, is making waves in his debut season with PMA Motorsport in the 2024 TCR Italy Championship. Taylor, a karting champion, has transitioned to touring cars, training intensely on his WPR custom simulator before hitting the track. Taylor's dedication to simulator training paid off spectacularly. Despite the challenge of limited on-track preparation, he proved his skill on track and despite an undiagnosed mechanical issue that affected his race performance, Taylor finished first and second in the Rookie Cup (P6 and 13 overall). Matteo Ansaloni, the sporting director for PMA Motorsport, expressed enthusiasm about Taylor joining the team: “We are very grateful to work with Nic this season. We met him in October 2023 in Cremona when he got into a race car for the first time. A few months later we planned to do the TCR Italian Championship in the best way possible with him.” Taylor himself is optimistic about his new role, stating, “The team has been great, really professional, and they support me so much, which makes me feel comfortable to challenge these big races. I come from karts so this is a great leap forward. I am learning a lot of new racing techniques working closely with the guys, and I do really like the drivability of the Audi.” Living in Malta, Taylor's achievements are a source of pride for the island. His hard work, both on the simulator, supported by World Pro Racing, and on the track, is propelling PMA Motorsport towards success in the Italian TCR Championship. As he prepares for the next round at Mugello, Taylor's impressive debut promises even greater accomplishments ahead.
