The talented FIA Bronze-graded driver will make his WEC comeback at the Lone Star Le Mans on 1 September, driving the #88 Proton Competition Ford Mustang. In 2023, he was part of the Corvette Racing crew that won the last team and drivers’ championship titles in the LMGTE era. He also secured his second Le Mans victory during that campaign. The 2022 and 2023 GTE-Am champion will replace Giorgio Roda in the #88 Ford, with Christian Reid marking a one-off comeback at the previous race in Sao Paulo. The provisional entry list for the event in Texas also sees Harry Tincknell returning to Proton Competition’s #99 Porsche 963 Hypercar lineup. Keating’s first race in the new LMGT3 era will feature one of the newest cars, with the #88 Ford achieving a podium finish at its Le Mans 24 Hours debut in June. Keating will join Mikkel Pedersen and Dennis Olsen in competing in the competitive 18-car category, aiming to stand out among the nine manufacturers represented.
