Ericsson to run Rolex 24 in WTR Lamborghini

Marcus Ericsson will make his third start in the Rolex 24 At Daytona in January, driving the No. 45 Wayne Taylor Racing Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 in the GTD class.

The 2022 Indianapolis 500 winner will share the car with the already-announced trio of Danny Formal, Trent Hindman, and Graham Doyle. Ericsson’s run of even-year Daytona 24 Hours appearances began in 2022 when he drove for the Chip Ganassi Racing-run Cadillac Racing team, then continued in 2024 when he drove for WTR in one of its two Acura ARX-06es.

“I’m super excited to be back racing with Wayne Taylor Racing for the legendary Rolex 24 Hours,” said Marcus Ericsson. “It will be my third time racing the Daytona 24 but the first time for me in the GTD class. I’m joining a great lineup with Danny, Trent and Graham, whom I know quite well already after being to quite a few races with the team in 2025 whilst supporting my brother, Hampus, in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo championship. I’m very thankful to Wayne, Travis (Houge, Vice President and General Manager of WTR) and DEX for the opportunity. I can’t wait to go racing!”

As he enters a critical third season of NTT IndyCar Series racing with Andretti Global, the 2026 Rolex 24 will be Ericsson’s first IMSA start in a Lamborghini GT3 car. But he’ll already have experience with the Huracán GT3 EVO2 after making his first start in the car this past weekend in the Michelin 12H Malaysia in Sepang, where he drove alongside his brother Hampus.

Formal and Hindman took the No. 45 WTR Lamborghini’s first win in July at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) and will return for the full season in GTD, with Doyle accompanying them for the five-race Michelin Endurance Cup.

“I am very excited that we managed to sign Marcus for the Rolex 24,” said Wayne Taylor. “He drove for us previously and we know he will be a great addition to the GTD program. We are lucky to have him. Danny Formal, Trent Hindman and Graham Doyle did a great job in 2025, and we feel like we have a really good shot at a podium. We have drivers and crew that have experience with the car and with this event, so we are really looking forward to Daytona.”

“I’m delighted to see Marcus join WTR for this opportunity,” added TWG Motorsports CEO Dan Towriss. “Moves like this reflect the potential of the TWG Motorsports portfolio in creating an opportunity for Marcus to race alongside Danny, Trent and Graham.”
