United Autosports has confirmed Tom Blomqvist to fill in for Paul di Resta in the #22 Oreca 07 LMP2 amid an FIA WEC and IMSA scheduling clash.
United Autosports has enlisted Tom Blomqvist to replace Paul di Resta in the #22 Oreca 07 LMP2 due to a clash between the FIA WEC and IMSA schedules. The clash occurs between the FIA World Endurance Championship’s 6 Hours of Sao Paulo and the IMSA SportsCar Championship’s Canadian Tire Motorsport Park sprint round on 11-13 July. Blomqvist will step in as the IMSA round lacks the GTP category, freeing him from commitments with his full-season drive in the #60 Meyer Shank Acura ARX-06. United Autosports, leading the LMP2 standings, aims to maintain their momentum with Blomqvist joining Daniel Goldburg for the race at Mosport. Since di Resta will miss the event, Goldburg will lead the charge for the LMP2 Drivers’ title during the crucial first sprint race round for the category.
