The roar of an engine has been the soundtrack to Taylor’s life since he first gripped a steering wheel at age six.
What started in a go-kart quickly became an obsession, and the graduation to rallies within a small family team helped him get recognised for the FIA Rally Star Asia-Pacific shootout.
Winning the shootout in India propelled him to Europe, where he would drive for the FIA Rally Star team for three years, culminating in a fight for the 2025 Junior World Rally Championship title.
