MIKE GUASCH AND CHRISTIAN ENGLAND RETURN TO UNITED AUTOSPORTS FOR 2019 EUROPEAN LE MANS SERIES

The 2016 ELMS LMP3 Champions will return to the team for their second shot at the LMP3 title. Mike and Christian were partnered with Alex Brundle when United Autosports made their ELMS debut in 2016, winning the first three races of the season and scoring a podium at five of the six rounds giving them the championship win with one round remaining.
 
American racer, Mike Guasch has spent two years away from racing in Europe, while Christian spent a second year in the ELMS in 2017, before moving to the Michelin Le Mans Cup in 2018. Christian also raced in the second round of the Asian Le Mans Series in Japan in December, filling in for Jim McGuire, where the team scored their first LMP3 win of the championship.

Zak Brown, Team Owner and Chairman, United Autosports:
“It’s great to have our returning champions back for the 2019 season. Hopefully they can replicate what they did in our debut year in the ELMS and come away champions once again.”
 
Richard Dean, Team Owner and Managing Director, United Autosports:
“I’ve kept in touch with Mike since he last raced for us and always hoped he would return, so I’m thrilled we have managed to pull this deal together for him to race with Christian once again. The ELMS grid has changed a lot since we won our first championship in 2016, the competition is so strong, but I think we have a good shot of being in the hunt from the off. Getting the LMP3 Championship back is definitely our aim.”
