As WTRAndretti scales up its GTP class commitments to run a second Acura ARX-06 for Louis Deletraz and Jordan Taylor, alongside returning pair Filipe Albuquerque and Ricky Taylor, the squad will also expand its involvement in the pro-am GTD class.
It partnered with Racers Edge Motorsports to run an Acura NSX GT3 Evo22 at the 2022 Sebring 12 Hours, which expanded into a full-time entrant in 2023.
WTRAndretti will now run a GTD car on its own, and expands its relationship with Lamborghini from the Super Trofeo North America series in which it has won the Pro class title for the past two seasons.
Its championship-winning pair Danny Formal and Kyle Marcelli will now step up IMSA GTD for the full season, having joined Ashton Harrison in the Racers Edge Acura at selected rounds in 2023.
“We’re really excited that Lamborghini has come to us and regarded us as a team that is worthy of a factory programme,” said Wayne Taylor, team principal of Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti.
“Danny Formal and Kyle Marcelli will be doing the full season. We’ve got a long history with Lamborghini with us running four cars a year in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series, so there’s a great relationship already built.
“Like I always said, everything to do with success in motorsport, is to be able to have people you can communicate with and build relationships with, so very excited about that with Lamborghini.”
