Career

thumb|255px|Liddell in action at Road America in 2012Liddell has two series championships to his name, winning the GT class of the 2001 European Le Mans Series and the GS class of the 2015 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge.[2]

In 2014, Liddell joined Corvette Racing for the inaugural season of the United SportsCar Championship, lining up for the team at Daytona and Sebring.[3] As the team's typical third drivers, Richard Westbrook and Jordan Taylor, were racing with General Motors' Daytona Prototype teams, Liddell and Ryan Briscoe were drafted in to serve as their temporary replacements.[4] In 2018, Liddell took on a dual driver and team manager role with Michelin Pilot Challenge team Rebel Rock Racing, having driven for the team in previous years.[5] The following season, in a race at Road America, Liddell edged out the McLaren of Kuno Wittmer to the line by seven hundredths of a second after Wittmer had inadvertently hit his pit limiter on the way to the finish.[6] [7]
