United Autosports Extends Endurance Racing Partnership Portfolio for 2026.

United Autosports officially welcomes ID8 as new partner to the roster for Asian Le Mans Series, European Le Mans Series and IMSA as well as broadening relationships with IPA and ANCH.

The first announcement introduces a strategic partnership with ID8 Global, naming the company as our Official AI Technology Partner. The collaboration brings advanced artificial intelligence capabilities into elite motorsport competition, supporting performance, operational intelligence, and data-driven decision-making across multiple international racing series. 

ID8 Global will serve as United Autosports’ exclusive AI technology partner across select Championships, including the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS), and European Le Mans Series (ELMS). The partnership includes integrated branding on cars and driver race suits, collaborative marketing initiatives, and the delivery of AI-driven services designed to support the team’s competitive and operational objectives.  

“United Autosports operates at the highest level of endurance racing, where precision, speed, and decision making are critical”, says Jeff Austin, CEO of ID8 Global. “ID8 Global was built to help organizations turn complex data into real-time intelligence. Partnering with United Autosports allows us to demonstrate how our solution can deliver meaningful impact in one of the demanding environments in the world.” 

United Autosports has established itself as a global force in endurance racing, competing and winning across premier international series with a reputation for technical excellence and innovation. 

“At United Autosports, we have always believed that staying competitive means staying at the front of development,” says Richard Dean, CEO and Team Principal of United Autosports. “Endurance racing rewards teams who embrace new technology, challenge convention, and continuously evolve. This partnership with ID8 Global allows us to do exactly that. They understand our environment, our demands, and our ambition to win.” 

The partnership will be activated throughout the racing calendar with joint announcements, digital content, and on-site engagements, highlighting the intersection of artificial intelligence, engineering, and elite motorsport performance.

From January 2026, United Autosports confirmed its powerful partnership extension with IPA, strengthening innovation led collaboration. IPA, an innovative daughter company of long-standing partner RDA, the partnership marks the next chapter in a relationship built on trust, technical excellence and a shared commitment to innovation.

 IPA operates at the intersection of intellectual property, technology and strategic commercialisation. The company supports organisations with strong IP portfolios by helping them protect, structure, and unlock the full value of their innovations: particularly in highly technical and fast-moving sectors. This philosophy aligns naturally with international motorsport, where performance advantages are driven by innovation, data and the intelligent protection of competitive knowhow.

 As an Official Team Partner, IPA branding will be featured prominently on all United Autosports race cars and across all United Autosports championships. Most notably, IPA was showcased on the #5 entry in the Asian Le Mans Series, around which IPA has launched an engaging behind-the-scenes video series, giving fans unique access to the inner workings of the team, its technology, and its people.

“Motorsport has always resonated deeply with us; it is innovation under pressure, where intellectual property, engineering excellence and execution must align perfectly,” says Kevin Auchoybur, IPA CEO. “Our long-standing relationship with United Autosports has been built on shared values and mutual respect, and we are incredibly proud to extend that partnership through IPA. Our work focuses on helping innovative companies protect and maximise the value of their IP, and the parallels with elite motorsport could not be clearer.”

Richard Dean, CEO and Team Principal of United Autosports, added: “Our relationship with Kevin and his team goes back many years and is built on genuine trust and alignment. We are proud to see that relationship evolve further through IPA and extend across our wider racing programmes, including ALMS and IMSA. These are partnerships that go far beyond branding; they are about shared thinking and long-term collaboration.”

Finally, but by no means least, United Autosports can confirm a multi-year extension of its strategic partnership with ANCH Property Tech, deepening a relationship built on shared values of performance.

As a leading force in property technology, ANCH Property Tech develops advanced digital platforms that transform conventional real estate environments into responsive, smart ecosystems — enhancing operational efficiency, security, decision-making, and long-term asset value across global markets. ANCH’s technology is helping shape the future of real estate worldwide by delivering integrated solutions that adapt seamlessly to the unique demands of workplaces, hospitality venues, mixed-use developments, and more, driving measurable value for owners, investors, and managers alike.


“I have a deep passion for United Autosports and everything the team represents”, says Johan van Kampen, Managing Director of ANCH Property Tech. “Last year’s World Endurance Championship was truly spectacular, and we are incredibly proud to extend our support as the team competes on three continents: ALMS, IMSA, and ELMS, building toward another unforgettable 24 Hours of Le Mans. Motorsport at the highest-level mirrors our strategic vision. Being part of this journey amplifies the global relevance of PropTech and strengthens our connection with international audiences.”

This partnership extension will see ANCH’s branding prominently displayed across United Autosports’ cars and trackside at the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series, and at marquee events, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The collaboration brings together two global organisations with a focus on performance under pressure, where cutting-edge technology meets elite motorsport.  In January, ANCH branding made its debut at the ROLEX 24 Hours at Daytona where United Autosports fought the relentless race and secured 4th position in the #22 car and 10th position in the #2 LMP2 class.

Tim Vaesen, Commercial Director of United Autosports, added:


“ANCH Property Tech is a world-class partner. The people behind ANCH and their network are of the highest calibre and a pleasure to work with on and off the track. Their commitment to innovation and their appreciation for what we do in motorsport make this extension an exciting next chapter in our shared journey.”
