Laura Hayes will join Dome Motorsport's driver lineup for the 2026 SRO GT4 America championship, completing the team’s four-driver roster as it prepares for its second season in the highly competitive GT4 series.

Hayes will team up with team owner Eddie Killeen in the outfit’s second Mercedes-AMG GT4 entry, competing in the AM class. The pairing combines Killeen’s growing experience in GT4 machinery with Hayes’ extensive and varied racing background, strengthening Dome Motorsport’s expanded two-car program for the upcoming campaign.

“I am very excited to be paired with an experienced driver in Laura,” said team owner Eddie Killeen. “She brings strong racecraft and proven results, and I believe we’ll be a very competitive pairing in the AM class."

Hayes brings more than a decade of endurance racing experience, having competed since 2015 in championships such as American Endurance Racing and the World Racing League. Her career progression accelerated in 2021 when she received the Mazda Motorsport Women in Motorsport Scholarship for the Mazda MX5 Cup. She also made her rookie appearance at the prestigious Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

In 2023 she achieved success by claiming both the WRL Eastern and National GTO Championships, before adding another milestone in 2024 by winning the inaugural Pikes Peak GT4 Trophy by Yokohama, simultaneously setting the record as the fastest woman ever to complete the iconic mountain course.

Her rise through professional sports car racing continued in 2025 with a full campaign in SRO GT4 America, where she secured multiple podium finishes along with a class victory.

“Over my birthday weekend, I received a surprise call from Eddie offering me the opportunity to race with him and Dome Motorsport,” said Hayes. “Thanks to the incredible support from Dome Motorsport and from Uma and Allen at Oore Jewelry, we’ll be heading to Sonoma Raceway. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to build on what I learned last season and chase some trophies with Dome.”

The duo will pilot a Mercedes-AMG GT4 as it builds upon the experience gained during its debut season in the series.
