UNITED AUTOSPORTS TO ENTER ACO LE MANS 24 HOURS VIRTUAL RACE

The virtual Le Mans 24 Hours has been arranged by the ACO and FIA World Endurance Championship organisers to replace the postponed real-life Le Mans 24 Hours race on 13-14 June. 
 
While United Autosports submitted two entries to the virtual Le Mans 24 Hours, the ACO selection committee only allocated the team one entry. The #22 car will be raced by three of United’s LMP2 drivers, Filipe Albuquerque, Alex Brundle and Job van Uitert, who will team up with LMP3 driver, Tom Gamble. 
 
There will be a period of testing available to the drivers, with qualifying for the LMP2 class beginning at 18:40* on Friday 12^th June. The virtual 24-hour race will begin on Saturday 13^th June at 15:00*.  The race will be held on the rFactor 2 programme and will feature a mix of LMP2 and GTE cars, taking part in a real-life simulation of day and night racing, driver and tyre changes and refuelling, with cars able to suffer from damage and technical issues. The race will be broadcast live on both TV and online streaming platforms as well as the WEC/ACO and Motorsport Games digital platforms and the WEC app.
