Garg Completes United LMP2 Lineup

United Autosports has signed Bijoy Garg to complete the driver lineup for its two-car IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship LMP2 effort, with the 21-year-old joining for the Michelin Endurance Cup rounds.

Garg will team up with full season pairing Daniel Goldburg and Paul di Resta aboard the No. 22 Oreca 07 Gibson, with NTT IndyCar Series star Felix Rosenqvist joining them for the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Garg took a dominant title in the VP Racing SportsCar Challenge this year and made his WeatherTech Championship debut as part of a three-race run that culminated in an LMP3 class victory at Motul Petit Le Mans.

“This year has been incredible,” said Garg. “I’ve enjoyed so many highlights in my debut  sports car season. Now, I’m excited to make the step up to LMP2.

“United Autosports is such an experienced team and I have fantastic co-drivers in Daniel Goldburg, Paul di Resta and Felix Rosenqvist starting at Daytona, my first 24 hour race.

“It’s going to be a challenge but I’m ready to make the most of this exciting opportunity.”

United initially announced European Le Mans Series race winner Marino Sato alongside Goldburg and Di Resta for the Endurance Cup rounds.

However, those plans changed when the Japanese driver had his driver rating upgraded from Silver to Gold for 2024, creating a seat opening that was ultimately filled by Garg.

Sato will remain with United, having been confirmed as part of the team’s FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 program with McLaren.

“I watched Bijoy this year on many occasions when I attended IMSA races,” said United Autosports CEO Richard Dean.

“He had a super impressive season in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge, winning the championship, and we were even more impressed as a team when he tested in our LMP2 car in Portimao. We are very excited to have Bijoy in our IMSA team.”
