Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti has announced two more drivers for its 2024 IMSA GTD campaign, with Graham Doyle and Ashton Harrison confirmed to join Kyle Marcelli and Danny Formal in its #45 WTRAndretti Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 for the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Rookie Doyle (featured) will also join Marcelli and Formal for the remaining four endurance events that make up the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup (IMEC), while veteran Ashton Harrison is only signed for the season opener in Florida.
Entering his first season with the Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America LB Cup class, rookie Graham Doyle will continue to expand his motorsports career to become the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup driver alongside Marcelli and Formal. 2023 marked Doyle’s first experience in a racing car and the 17-year-old quickly got up to speed while inside the cockpit, 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,” Doyle said. “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 meanwhile, returns to the team after competing with it in both the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup and Fanatec GT World Challenge America Powered by AWS PRO Championship last season. She also has four years of Lamborghini Super Trofeo with WTRAndretti on her CV, and is the only female driver to have a Lamborghini World Finals race win.
“I am excited to represent Lamborghini in GTD this coming season,” said WTRAndretti team principal Wayne Taylor. “I’m excited with our driver line up. I think Graham Doyle and Ashton Harrison will really be good at the Rolex and then Graham doing all the endurance races. Graham is still very young, but what he achieved this year in LST made it a no brainer to hire him. Ashton will be a great fourth driver. She is an important part of our WTRAndretti global programme.”
