United Autosport to expand its workforce for the 24 Hours of Le Mans
The car that triumphed in La Sarthe in 2024 will be present again in 2025. Two LMP2 cars will even be entered by the American team.
A ninth consecutive participation. United Autosport is becoming a team inseparable from the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And perhaps one of the most victorious in LMP2 since it already has two wins, including 2024, three podiums, and six Top 5 finishes.
For the new edition of the 24-hour race, the American team will be doubly represented. “We love Le Mans and after our second victory in LMP2, we are motivated to achieve new successes in 2025,” says Richard Dean, CEO of United Autosports.
Two prototypes will therefore be entered in 2025: #22 and #23. But for the moment, only the crew of the second car is known. It will be driven by Daniel Schneider, Ben Hanley, and Oliver Jarvis. “There’s nothing like racing at Le Mans. This will be my 14th year, and I can tell you that the magnitude of this legendary race never fades! Last year, we won with United Autosports, and of course, that’s the goal we are pursuing, this time in the LMP2 Pro/Am class with my ELMS co-driver Daniel Schneider, who will be making his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and Ben Hanley, whom I’ve known for years and is a driver you want to have by your side,” emphasizes Oliver Jarvis.
On the other side, only Renger van der Zande is announced for the #22.
United Autosport will also be represented by two McLarens in the GT3 category, the same ones entered in the World Endurance Championship. The #59 will be driven by James Cottingham, Sebastien Baud, and Gregoire Saucy. The sister car, the #95, by Darren Leung, Sean Gelael, and Marino Sato.
