Three winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans associated at United Autosports

The United Autosports team will field a top-flight trio in its No. 23 Oreca at the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 15 June.

Ben Keating, Filipe Albuquerque and Ben Hanley, all three already victorious in the Sarthe in the past, will be associated by the Anglo-American team in the LM P2 Pro-Am category.

« Bringing together the experience, skills and determination of not one but three Le Mans winners is phenomenally exciting as we prepare for our debut in the LM P2 Pro-Am class, says Richard Dean, CEO of the United Autosports team. Le Mans is always exciting… never easy, but with this driver line-up our intentions are very clear. »

Keating will be the Bronze driver of the trio and won the LMGTE Am category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2022 (with TF Sport) and 2023 (Corvette), after two podium finishes in 2018 and 2021.

« The LM P2 Pro-Am category will be very strong, declares the American. I can't wait to take on this challenge with the team, Filipe and Ben. We have a lot of experience and that could make the difference during the race. »

Ben Hanley won the LM P2 Pro-Am category in 2021 (DragonSpeed). As for Filipe Albuquerque, he won in 2020 in LM P2, already with United Autosports.

« New year and new 24 Hours of Le Mans with United Autosports! It's incredible, rejoices the Portuguese. I am delighted to participate with this great team that I have been working with for eight years. We have already ridden together with Ben Hanley in a go-kart and we meet again. Ben Keating is an LM P2 superstar. He knows Le Mans very well, he won once more than me! I have immense respect for him. I'm pumped up to get the victory. »
