UNITED AUTOSPORTS CLAIMS FIFTH LMP3 PODIUM IN HOME ELMS RACE

September 1, 2019 RNW Staff

For the fifth time since making its European Le Mans Series début in 2016, United Autosports scored an LMP3 podium placing in its home race at Silverstone. #2 Ligier (Garett Grist/Tommy Erdos/Wayne Boyd) claimed a well-deserved third place in the 4 Hours of Silverstone today (31 Aug) – the crew’s third consecutive class podium this season – but apart from this success, the team endured a torrid time. Fastest in both practice sessions and qualifying P2, it appeared United’s best hope of success would be with its new Oreca with an LMP2 podium at the very least. But #22 Oreca (Phil Hanson/Filipe Albuquerque) retired with an electrical issue after a little over 30 minutes. #3 (Christian England/Mike Guasch) crashed heavily out of second place at high-speed having been tagged by another car while #32 Ligier (Alex Brundle/Ryan Cullen/Will Owen) was classified eighth in LMP2. United are now placed seventh (#22) and eighth (#32) in LMP2 Teams championship while #2 now lies third in the LMP3 Teams standings with #3 ninth. The penultimate round of this year’s ELMS is staged at Spa-Francorchamps (BEL) on 22 Sep.
