Season 4: Kaylan Racing Team

Pressley was signed by Kaylan Racing Team for the WGPC 2 season, to fill the second spot on the team aside Chromatik Anola Melani. Pressley had a difficult start to the season, finishing twelfth in the season-opening Vilita and Turori Grand Prix and then sixth in the sprint, but soon recovered to win the win the rain-affected WGP2 Preis von Teusland and Hapilopper City Grand Prix feature races, each from 13th on the grid. Strong points finishes in earlier races also meant that he would lead the championship going into the mid-season break, taking a non-championship grand prix win at the Bearden Waterfront Park in Xanneria.

Pressley would fall slightly behind in the championship in the second half of the season but another run of points finishes would see him in the championship fight, picking up a third-placed podium in the WGP2 Grand Tour de Nékoni. He would finish third in the championship fight, losing out to Teus driver Heinz-Otto Junker and Janne Laukkanen of Aboveland. His two wins, however, did manage to secure the Constructors' Championship for Kaylan Racing Team.
