United Autosports brought down the curtain on an ultra-successful four-year campaign with Ligier’s first generation LMP3 sports-prototype with a second place finish in the Gulf 12 Hours yesterday (14 Dec). The British team contested the two, six-hour races with Richard Meins, Shaun Lynn and Jim McGuire piloting its Ligier JS P3 at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. It marked the third time United had contested the annual race having won the “Gentlemen’s” category in 2017.
United Autosports have confirmed that Jim McGuire and Matt Bell will return to the team for the 2018 Michelin Le Mans Cup. The pair joined forces for the first time last year, racing the #22 AERO Ligier JS P3 in the support race to the European Le Mans Series.
