United Autosports unveils its crew for the 24 Hours of Le Mans
David Heinemeier Hansson, Pietro Fittipaldi and Renger van der Zande will drive the American team's #22 LMP2. They will attempt to defend the United Autosports title in the Sarthe region.
Finally complete. After revealing part of its lineup for the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans, United Autosports has finally announced the crew of the LMP2 #22 for the classic Le Mans race.
David Heinemeier Hansson will be one of the three drivers. With his arrival, United Autosports secures a man of experience who has won eight times in the World Endurance Championship and has 23 podiums to his name.
« I am delighted to return to Le Mans at the wheel of a car entered by United Autosports. Their track record, preparation, and results speak for themselves. I’ve never had such a good chance of achieving a good result, the Dane rejoices.
He won’t have to get to know his teammates since he’s already raced with them. He has shared a car at Le Mans several times with Pietro Fittipaldi and has also been Renger van der Zande’s teammate in IMSA. I had a lot of success the last time I went there, fighting for pole position in 2023. And now, I have the opportunity to fight for victory at Le Mans, announces Emerson Fittipaldi’s grandson.
In 2024, the #22 had won in the LMP2 category for the second time, after 2020. This year, the Anglo-American team will aim for victory in three categories simultaneously: with the #22 in LMP2, the #23 in the LMP2 Pro/Am category, and, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of McLaren’s legendary win at Le Mans, the McLaren #59 and #95 in the GT3 category.
