Colton Herta is stepping up his Formula 1 dream, having swapped IndyCar for Formula 2 looking ahead to 2026.<\/p>\n
But, Formula 2 will not be Herta\u2019s only racing programme for 2026, as he has been confirmed in Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing\u2019s line-up for the endurance rounds of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.<\/p>\n
Colton Herta to combine Cadillac F1, F2 and IMSA<\/p>\n
Cadillac are preparing to hit the Formula 1 grid in 2026. Their driver line-up is already set, as the experienced duo of Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez return to Formula 1 to lead the Cadillac F1 charge. Herta meanwhile has signed on the dotted line as a test driver.<\/p>\n
In addition to that, Herta has made the huge call to depart Andretti\u2019s IndyCar outfit and leave the series behind as he steps up his efforts to join the Formula 1 grid.<\/p>\n
As part of that, Herta will compete in the 2026 F2 campaign. The category is regarded as the premiere junior series on the ladder to F1.<\/p>\n
It has now also been confirmed that Herta will continue to go racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship next year. He will join WTR\u2019s factory Cadillac Racing programme, competing in the 24 Hours of Daytona, Twelve Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans.<\/p>\n
Herta will re-unite with Jordan Taylor and Louis Del\u00e9traz for those events, the trio having emerged victorious together at Sebring in 2024.<\/p>\n
