Trent Hindman will make his full-season IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship return next year, having been confirmed as part of Wayne Taylor Racing’s Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 lineup in the GTD class.

The two-time GTD champion will pair up with the returning Danny Formal in the No. 45 Lamborghini, with Kyle Marcelli, Formal’s 2024 co-driver, set to complete the lineup for next month’s season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Graham Doyle, meanwhile, will continue in his role as the team’s Michelin Endurance Cup driver.

Hindman previously drove for WTR in Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America competition in 2017.

“For me, this a long-awaited reunion with a team I’ve shared success with in the past,” he said. “Although a different Lamborghini Huracan platform, championship series, and group of teammates, I look forward to finding success again with the same core group that has developed so much over the past seven years since we last worked together.

“The long-standing partnership between Wayne Taylor Racing and Lamborghini has now become a staple of the IMSA paddock, and I am excited to now play a role towards their growth into GTD championship contenders.

“Already, I’m very grateful to Danny, Graham, and the WTR engineering staff for welcoming me with open arms.

Much of the core group on the GTD program are the same personnel that won the 2017 Super Trofeo NA Pro and World Final titles, which makes the transition back to the team very exciting for me.”

Team owner Wayne Taylor added: “We have a great line up this year. Danny is back and stronger than ever. Trent has rejoined our WTR family
which is great as we had such success together back in 2017 in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series.

“Graham will be running with us in the five IMEC endurance events again and keeps stepping things up as he gains more and more experience. And we are delighted to have Kyle back, who is part of our WTR family. It is going to be a great season with DEX and Lamborghini.”

The program will mark WTR’s second season in the GTD ranks with Lamborghini.

“The No. 45 car had a strong debut season and with the highly professional and motivated WTR team, it has all of the elements to be a championship contender,” said Erik Skirmants, senior motorsport manager for Lamborghini North America.

“Always a great partner in developing talent through their Super Trofeo program, WTR has again drafted exemplary graduates for the GTD program.

“Welcoming Trent Hindman back into a Lamborghini seat was a high priority we all shared. The 2025 WTR No. 45 GTD program is a great step forward in the long-term mutual vision of program growth and connection to Automobili Lamborghini driver programs.”
