Juan Pablo Montoya at Le Mans with United?

Double winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona and current full-time resident of Team Penske in IMSA, Juan Pablo Montoya tested, at the end of 2015 in Bahrain, the Porsche 919 Hybrid. On this occasion, the 42-year-old Colombian did not hide his desire to take part in the Le Mans double clock, having already won two of the three jewels of the Triple Crown, namely the Monaco Grand Prix in 2003. and Indy 500 in 2000 and 2015.

As revealed to you in the AUTO previewhebdo this week (see Ah n°2157), Montoya is currently in discussions with United Autosports, which has not yet revealed the identity of the driver who will support Will Owen and Hugo de Sadeleer in the n°217 Ligier JS P22 in Sarthe. If these were to succeed, this would give a little more allure to the list of entries which, in terms of Drivers, is already not lacking in stars.
