What is the deal with Beretta?
Corvette Racing's revised driver lineup delivers a powerful combination of youth and experience. Antonio Garcia joins Oliver Gavin, Jan Magnussen, and Tommy Milner as the four full-season drivers. Richard Westbrook will reprise his role as third driver in endurance events (Sebring, Le Mans, and Petit Le Mans), and Jordan Taylor will join Corvette Racing for the three long-distance races.

I wonder if he is staying with Risi Competizione?

I would bet he will be in a Ferrari come Sebring. I don't blame him, it's every racer's dream; and that car is going to be VERY strong this year.
Don't know anything about the Taylor kid. Hope he has skills, and isn't just related to the right person.

My guess is the GM boys want to bring in some younger guys that they can keep around for a while. They got rid of the oldest guy on their team when they dropped Beretta. I would think he would be driving with Risi at Sebring and also at the Daytona 24. Jordan Taylor finished 2nd in the Grand-Am GT championship in 2011. He would have won if his co-driver hadn't stuffed it in a wall in the opening laps. The kid has skills, major skills. He had Tommy Milner as a 3rd driver in the endurance races and he was much quicker than him. His older brother also had 4 or 5 pole positions last year in the SunTrust DP car. I think it's great to see a young guy get that kind of opportunity.
