Wayne Taylor Racing, a TWG Motorsports racing team, announced today that Marcus Ericsson will complete the driver lineup for the No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Ericsson joins Danny Formal, Trent Hindman and Graham Doyle for the 24-hour endurance classic in January.

The 2022 Indianapolis 500 winner competes full time in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES with Andretti Global, also part of TWG Motorsports, and has three additional wins and 21 top-five finishes across his seven seasons in the open-wheel championship. Entering 2026, the 64th Running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona marks the third entry for the Swedish-driver and his first time competing in the Grand Touring Daytona (GTD) category.

“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 and DEX for the opportunity. I can’t wait to go racing!”

“I am very excited that we managed to sign Marcus for the Rolex 24,” added Team Co-Owner, 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,” said 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.”

The No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Wayne Taylor Racing GTD team kick off the 2026 IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship with the annual three days of testing at the Roar Before the Rolex 24 on January 16-18th, 2026. The 64th Running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona weekend is set for January 21-25th, 2026.
