Graham Doyle and Ashton Harrison will join Kyle Marcelli and Danny Formal in their No. 45 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 for the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Rookie Doyle will be in the car for all the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup (IMEC) events of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, while veteran Harrison will bring her multi-year sportscar and endurance experience to the GTD cockpit for the Rolex 24.
Doyle began his car racing career in 2023, starting in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America LB Cup class, and he’ll be expanding his experience in the IMEC events in 2024. The 17-year-old quickly got up to speed, earning five LB Cup class victories, which included a first place finish at the 2023 Grand Finals in Vallelunga, Italy, and eight podiums in his rookie debut.
“It is hard for me to put together the words to express my excitement for the upcoming 2024 IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship season,” said Doyle. “I will be competing in all five endurance rounds and it is truly a dream come true. I cannot wait to share the car with three people I truly consider family. Both Danny and Kyle have been like brothers to me throughout this past Lamborghini Super Trofeo season and Ashton has been the biggest supporter and help to me on race weekends. With Lamborghini and WTRAndretti, I truly believe this program is going to be something special and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
Harrison returns to WTRAndretti for the Rolex 24 At Daytona after recently competing with WTRAndretti and Racers Edge Motorsports in both the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup and Fanatec GT World Challenge America Powered by AWS PRO Championship. Harrison, alongside 2022 co-driver Mario Farnbacher for a second season, finished second in the 2023 GT World Challenge America PRO Championship, highlighted by two wins and five podiums. Harrison previously completed in a four-year stint the Lamborghini Super Trofeo (LST) North America Championship with WTRAndretti, where she became the first female to win a Lamborghini World Finals race.
“Super excited to be back with WTRAndretti, back with my home team for next year,” she said. “Also, very excited to be joining Kyle, Danny and Graham for the 24 hour and to be racing with Kyle and Danny again for another season. I feel that WTRAndretti has a really strong group of GT drivers, and I am honored to be one of those. I am also looking forward to being with Lamborghini on a full-time basis and getting back to proper GT3 racing in IMSA. Very excited to be back home.”
The full team gets into action on Jan. 19-21 for the Roar Before the 24, ahead of the Rolex 24 at Daytona on Jan. 25-2
