Grégoire Saucy, how do you welcome the start of this new adventure with United Autosports?

I had a good season with TDS Racing last year in Pro-Am. It was a year of discovery of LM P2 and European Le Mans Series, during which I learned a lot. It's a great opportunity to be able to drive in Pro this year, that was the goal. It will allow me to better showcase myself in qualifying, even if I probably won't do them all. United Autosports really wanted to have me in LM P2 for this season, and I'm looking forward to starting this adventure with them. United and TDS are two very good teams, as we can also see in IMSAI don't think it will change much from last year, except that I won't be in Pro-Am anymore. The work will be slightly different.

Did your performances in LM P2 with TDS Racing convince the team to place you in prototype this year, or was it rather what you showed in WEC in LMGT3?

Both. I didn't use many new tires last year, but I set excellent times each time. This motivated the team to recruit me in this category.

By moving up to the next level, will the goal be to win the title this season?

I'm aiming for the title in any league I play in. That will definitely be the goal. Ben Hanley has a lot of experience and has already shown his speed. The first step will be to learn to work well together in the first tests, and then aim for the best possible results to compete in the league. We'll see where we are in Barcelona. The level in ELMS will be very high this year.

What do you prefer between LM P2 and GT3?

It's very different. Coming from the car, the LM P2 is closer to it, but I also have a lot of fun in LMGT3 with McLaren, especially after what we achieved in Qatar. After this first race of the season, the objective will be to give our best for the rest of the year, whether in GT3 or LM P2.

You're partnered with McLaren in GT3 and United Autosports in LM P2. With rumors of the British manufacturer's upcoming entry into Hypercar racing, that must be on your mind...

If these rumors are confirmed, I'll do everything I can to be a part of it. It would be a great opportunity for me. My goal is to get into Hypercar, so if there can be continuity with them, that would be incredible.
