The landscape of endurance racing is rapidly changing, with prominent teams like JOTA and Andretti transitioning to Cadillac, Meyer Shank returning to Acura, and Chip Ganassi Racing seeking a new direction. The demand for top-tier service providers is escalating as Genesis prepares to enter WEC and IMSA, and Alpine considers GTP along with other major manufacturers like McLaren contemplating future projects. With the next wave of manufacturers on the horizon, the question arises: who will step up to meet the challenge? While LMP2 teams like Team WRT, JOTA, Prema, and Signatech have evolved into foundation LMDh programs in the Hypercar class, not all had the opportunity to secure a place when the GTP and Hypercar classes emerged. United Autosports, despite being close to a Hypercar entry, has been proactive in strengthening its position by expanding operations to the US and gearing up for sustained success in the competitive world of endurance racing. By establishing a foothold in both Europe and the US, United is strategically placed to navigate the intricate dynamics of racing in IMSA and maintain a strong performance trajectory as they enter their sophomore campaign in 2025.
