United Autosports validates its ticket for the 24 Hours of Le Mans

While some drivers were expecting a lively start in Portimão, this time the breakdown was avoided. This allowed for an intense fight for second place overall until the final hour of the season. In this three-way clash between G-Drive, Panis Racing and United Autosports, it was the latter, despite being the least well placed in terms of points before the race, which won by correcting an anomaly. Reigning champion with four victories in five races in 2020, Richard Dean's team had in fact still not won this season, each time ahead of WRT, G-Drive or Panis Racing. “ It's good to finally win after missing victory several times, relishes Phil Hanson. It's crazy to think that if Spa (Belgium, September 19. Editor’s note) hadn't gone so bad (5th and 8th. Editor’s note), the outcome would be totally different. You need a lot of things to win a champion
