Danny Formal, Trent Hindman, Graham Doyle, and the No. 45 DEX Imaging Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 team will now shift back to endurance racing for the final round of the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. After closing out the sprint season at Indianapolis Motor Speedway earlier this month, the team heads to Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta to take on the 10-hour classic, MOTUL Petit Le Mans. The No. 45 team was most recently in the Michelin Endurance Cup format at Road America, where the team ran as high as third, and they now head to Road Atlanta fresh off a successful testing session at the circuit earlier this month.

Danny Formal and Trent Hindman will be joined by IMEC co-driver, Graham Doyle, to pilot the No. 45 DEX Imaging Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2. Formal has made three consecutive starts at Road Atlanta with Wayne Taylor Racing, highlighted by a fifth-place finish in 2024 alongside Doyle. For Hindman, this will be his second year straight competing at Road Atlanta with Wayne Taylor Racing having made his debut at this event with Formal and Doyle last year.

Continuing a tradition for the third year-in-a-row at Petit Le Mans, No. 45 DEX Lamborghini GTD will sport pink accents to their livery in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and raise awareness in the effort to find a cure for a disease that affects so many loved ones.

“One of the best things about racing is a quick turnaround to the next race, and that’s exactly what our GTD team needs heading to Petit Le Mans,” said Wayne Taylor, team co-owner and inaugural Petit Le Mans winner. “Indianapolis was a rollercoaster weekend, but Road Atlanta is a great reset for the team. They showed incredible pace at Indy and I’m ready for Danny, Trent and Graham to get back on track. I have no doubt the team and drivers will pick up where they left off, and I expect us to be fighting for the win at the end of tenth hour.”

The No. 45 Lamborghini GTD team will begin on-track preparations with Practice 1 on Thursday, October 1, at 10:40 a.m. ET, followed by Practice 2 at 3:20 p.m. ET and Practice 3 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Qualifying is set for Friday, October 2, at 2:20 p.m. ET. The 10-hour MOTUL Petit Le Mans takes the green flag at 12:10 p.m. ET on Saturday, October 3, with live coverage on NBC, Peacock and IMSA.TV.

Danny Formal, full season co-driver, No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2: “Petit Le Mans is probably one of the most challenging racetracks for the race car and driver - other than Sebring. This is the track that destroys race cars more than anything else. So coming in here for testing, getting the dampening right, and getting the balance of the car right I think is very important. Unfortunately, we couldn’t test here last year, so it's extremely beneficial to come in 2026, getting ready for the last race of the season. Petit Le Mans is one of the most physical races we go to with a one-minute-and-22-second lap time and 55-60 cars on-track. The GTPs are extremely fast around here, and the LMP2s are even faster through the corners, so you have to look at your mirrors - you're pretty much looking back more so than forward. Mentally it's a very challenging race and an awesome challenge to finish off a season. I think Petit is one of my favorite racetracks in the world - definitely in the top five - and just to be here again in the No. 45 DEX Lamborghini GT3 given it’s the last race ever for the Lamborghini Huracán in IMSA is amazing. It feels phenomenal to be able to be the team and the drivers to say goodbye to the car – it just feels very special. The car has helped me through my career, and it is the most amazing sound going down the straits with that engine, so it's a nice moment, but at the same time, will be truly missed.”

Trent Hindman, full season co-driver, No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2: “Testing at Road Atlanta is really, really a privilege. Testing prior to any race is a privilege, but especially now with how compressed the format is and how limited track time is on race weekends. You have to roll off the truck with a really good package, and if you don't have the opportunity to go test and develop that package prior to the race weekend, you are kind of taking a shot in the dark. This just helps our general preparedness and being able to come off the truck and really focus on race specific items coming into the race weekend and know that we have confidence in our car’s performance. This racetrack seems to get quicker and quicker every year - for every category, not just GTD.  At this point, Road Atlanta can almost be considered a short track for us, certainly one of the shorter ones on the calendar. The type of racing it creates is the intensity of a ‘short track,’ so it's an incredible race for that reason. Every lap is different here, especially when you've got 55-60 cars and a boatload of traffic. You're constantly navigating something, so it certainly never gets old. The challenge certainly seems to increase year over year because the intensity increases year over year.”

Graham Doyle, IMEC co-driver, No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2: “You can't really put a price on testing, especially in GT3. We're so fortunate to be able to test at most of the racetracks we go to all year. For me, I’m just continuing to try to get closer and closer to Danny and Trent - to find a proper setup and find a great race car. Because of the testing time, we’re able to unload from the trailer and are already almost there, and we're just making fine tune tweaks, and not making big swings at anything. The two days that we get to spend testing are unbelievably helpful, especially going into a pretty tight turnaround after Indy. It really helps the team have a basic idea in their mind so that they can get the car set up, so we can unload off the trailer and already be competitive as we know we will be. While it is a 10-hour race, Petit Le Mans is basically a sprint, start to finish, especially being the finale of IMSA. It’s like a bull ring of a racetrack with it being about a one-minute, 20-second lap. The GTPs and the LMP2 cars are insanely fast here, so they're basically passing you every four to five laps. Here you're racing not only the people in front of you, but you're racing in your mirrors it feels like, more so than not. Mentally preparing to get your passes done, stay on line, and just stay out of trouble, but at the same time you have to stay very competitive because the moment you let off here, is the moment you fall way behind. This is one of those racetracks you have to be on for all ten hours to reach the checkered flag and hopefully get a good result.”
