United Autosports has completed their full two-car driver lineup for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, having now confirmed Bijoy Garg, Oliver Jarvis and Nolan Siegel in their #23 Oreca 07 LMP2 entrant.
With under two months until the 92nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans on 15-16 June, United Autosports has confirmed their final three drivers for their #23 Oreca having done so already for the #22.
Garg already competes for the Anglo-American team in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, where he is the Endurance Cup driver for the #22.
Jarvis is also a regular driver for the team in their FIA World Endurance Championship campaign in the LMGT3 category, and so he will start his third consecutive Le Mans for the United Autosports team, and 13th since he debuted in 2010.
With just his 2017 LMP2 win with Jackie Chan DC Racing after having stood second on the overall podium, he will be chasing his second Le Mans victory once again.
Whilst Siegel grew up primarily climbing through the American single-seater latter, the 19-year-old has fulfilled several starts in LMP2 machinery such as the IMSA 24 Hours of Daytona season-opener in Sean Creech Motorsport’s Ligier JS P217 LMP2 and also in the 2023 Asian Le Mans Series for Inter Europol Competition.
“Every opportunity to race at this incredible event is a privilege,” said Jarvis.
“This year I head there with two new teammates in Bijoy and Nolan.
“Having seen Bijoy’s speed so far this season, I have no doubt that he will be straight on the pace. Nolan has also had an impressive start to the season, racing in Indy NXT. I am confident that, together with United Autosports, we have a team capable of fighting for the win.”
“Racing at Le Mans is going to be incredible, I am really excited,” added Garg.
“I’m two races into the IMSA season with United Autosports and we’ve already celebrated a podium in LMP2 – so yeah, I’m learning a lot and getting on well with the team.
“Looking ahead to June, it will be good fun to race with my friend Nolan and I’m going to learn as much as I can from Olly Jarvis with all his Le Mans experience.”
Siegel, set for his Le Mans debut along with Garg, concluded: “I’m extremely excited to join United Autosports for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
“It’s one of the most famous races in the world and to be joining a team with a history of success like United is a huge honour.
“I’ve known Bijoy since we were kids, so racing with him and Oliver will be a lot of fun. We have all the ingredients to fight for the win.”
