United Autosports has revealed its full driver lineup across its pair of LMP2 entries for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona.

The Anglo-American outfit had previously confirmed its full-season lineup for the No. 22 Oreca 07 Gibson, with Paul di Resta partnering Daniel Goldburg, while Ben Hanley had been named as the first driver for the sister No. 2 entry.

Now the team has named Rasmus Lindh and James Allen as the two additional drivers for the No. 22 car for the Rolex 24.

The No. 2 entry’s lineup meanwhile is bolstered by Nick Boulle, Oliver Jarvis and Garnet Patterson for the Florida endurance classic.

Both Lindh and Allen are newcomers to United, with Swedish driver Lindh set for his LMP2 debut at Daytona after making two starts in the class for DragonSpeed last year in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen.

Allen was part of the LMP2-winning Proton Competition lineup at Daytona in 2023, when he memorably outdragged Hanley (then driving for CrowdStrike Racing by APR) in a drag race to the checkered flag.

While defending LMP2 champion Boulle is also a newcomer to United, Jarvis is no stranger to the team, having been part of its European Le Mans Series roster for the past two seasons and winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in class last year.

Patterson has raced with United in the Michelin Le Mans Cup and Asian Le Mans Series, although he will be making his WeatherTech Championship debut at Daytona.

United Autosports CEO Richard Dean commented: “The Rolex 24 at Daytona is an incredible event and we are going there with one goal in mind — to win.

“We have two exceptionally strong driver line-ups in the No. 2 and No. 22 which, backed by the hard work of the United Autosports USA team, I have no doubt will deliver results to be very proud of.”
