Danny Formal is a professional-level sportscar driver rated 4,867, placing him squarely in the professional band; he competes at the sharp end of endurance and one-make racing, regularly beating semi-professionals and holding his own against established professionals. The Costa Rican driver holds the FIA Silver categorisation for sportscar and endurance racing, denoting a professional with typically early-career status in that discipline. Across 113 starts spanning 15 seasons, Formal has recorded 37 wins and 60 podiums, averaging a fifth-place finish; his record is built almost entirely on dominance in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo NA, where he has won 31 of his 37 races as a mainstay of Wayne Taylor Racing's roster.[1]
Formal's competitive standing emerges from his head-to-head records against peers rather than any single dominant season. Against Jake Walker and Giano Taurino, both Silver-graded champions, Formal has winning records of 23โ15 and 21โ11 respectively across shared races; he also holds significant winning margins against Russell Ward and Robby Foley, both established professionals rated higher, in fields of 30 shared starts each. His ventures into IMSA's top-tier WeatherTech Championship have been modest; two wins in 31 starts show limited success at that tier, and his records against Patrick Gallagher and Robby Foley in mixed-company fields tilt sharply toward those drivers. Single results against elite professionals including Kyle Kirkwood, Scott McLaughlin, Kevin Estre and Eddie Cheever exist on record but do not form patterns. Formal has remained active throughout 2025 and into 2026, most recently featuring in reports from Wayne Taylor Racing's Lamborghini campaign at the North American World Final Championship in late 2025.[2]
