The Wayne Taylor Racing (WTR) GTD team tackled the first qualifying session of the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season. Full season co-driver, Trent Hindman, handled the No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2 for the 15-minute qualifying session in the 22-car GTD field. Hindman utilized the impressive performance of the silver chrome and red machine to post the third fastest lap on the time sheets with a 01:46.658 – only two-hundredths off the pole position time.

The No. 45 DEX Lamborghini team has two additional practice sessions to finetune all preparations for the twice-around-the-clock endurance classic.

Trent Hindman, No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 Driver Quotes

“It certainly is a great start to the year. The DEX Wayne Taylor Racing guys have been doing a great job for the last two weeks.  This goes way beyond what we have been doing on the ground in Daytona, it’s a result of what they have been doing the last two months, if not more. A big thanks to all of our guys, the entire team, for putting us in this position. Two-hundredths though, that’s a tough one to accept. WE will dig in and look at a couple items. I think we have a really good racecar, I’m sure everybody on the grid is saying that, but I do genuinely think we are a very good car over a long run, so we will see. You never really know what you have until Sunday afternoon and that’s what our focus is right now.”
