Daryl DeLeon Taylor (born 2 August 2005) is a Filipino-British racing driver currently competing in the British Touring Car Championship for Duckhams Racing with Bartercard. He is a race winner in both Radical Cup UK and the British Endurance Championship, and made his debut in the British Touring Car Championship in 2023 with Team HARD.
DeLeon made his car racing debut in the Radical SR1 Cup in the penultimate round of the 2021, and won 2 of the 3 races in the final round of the season. He then competed in the 2021 Radical Intercontinental Cup at the Algarve International Circuit in Portugal.[1]
Competing full-time in the 2022 season with Valour Racing, he won the championship.[2] Later in the year, he contested the inaugural Radical Cup World Finals at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Nevada, United States,[3] which he won overall.[4]
In 2023, he moved up to the SR3 category of the Radical Cup UK, alongside his British Endurance Championship commitments.[5]
DeLeon raced for Valour Racing in the fourth round of the 2022 GB4 Championship.[6] He finished 3rd in his debut race, but did not contest any other rounds during the season, and finished 25th in the championship.
DeLeon won the 2023 Team HARD Scholarship,[7] enabling him to compete in the 2023 British Endurance Championship with Team HARD, driving an Audi S3 touring car alongside Maurice Henry. Prior to the second round, DeLeon switched to a Porsche 991 GT3 Cup.[8]
As part of the Team HARD Scholarship, DeLeon became a development driver for their BTCC team for the 2023 season. On 4 July, he drove for the team in the official Goodyear Tyre Test[9] Following the departure of Jade Edwards from Team HARD after the fifth round of 2023, it was announced that DeLeon would take her place.[10] [11]
