How Wayne Taylor Racing Turned a Cracked Rim and a Lap-One Spin into Lamborghini's First IMSA Win of 2025

At Mosport on July 14, a lap-one disaster became Lamborghini's first IMSA victory of the season.

Mechanical misfortune, physical endurance, and a pit wall gamble most teams would have rejected combined to deliver Wayne Taylor Racing's inaugural IMSA GTD win with Lamborghini.

The gamble that decided the race

Wayne Taylor Racing kept Trent Hindman on track during a Full Course Yellow while most of the GTD field pitted, a genuinely bold call in a sprint-format IMSA race where caution periods are less frequent than in endurance events.

The heaviest car on the grid

The Huracán GT3 EVO2 arrived at Mosport as the heaviest car on both the GTD and GTD Pro grids, with its 5204 cc naturally aspirated V10 sending power through a six-speed sequential Xtrac gearbox to the rear wheels only.

Danny Formal's cracked-rim stint

Danny Formal drove his entire opening stint on a cracked rim after lap-one contact, later describing a vibration so severe he lost feeling in his right arm and leg — an especially demanding ordeal in a rear-wheel-drive GT3 machine where pedal and steering feel are essential for managing traction.

The Huracán GT3 EVO2's final competitive chapter

The Mosport result proves the Huracán GT3 EVO2 can still win in IMSA GTD even with a weight penalty and a lap-one disaster, a critical data point for customer teams as Lamborghini prepares the transition to the Temerario GT3.

Lamborghini's official account of the race focused on strategy and driver performance, underscoring that the relationship between Squadra Corse and teams like Wayne Taylor Racing remains strong enough to extract victories from aging hardware.
