United Autosports sign Finn Gehrsitz to complete their final European Le Mans Series LMP3 entry.
The 17 year old German will share the #2 Ligier JS P320 alongside Bailey Voisin and Josh Caygill throughout the six race European Le Mans Series which begins at Paul Ricard on 11-12th April.
Finn Gehrsitz became the youngest Michelin Le Mans Cup driver last year, when he signed for Phoenix Racing at the age of 16. A successful debut campaign brought Finn his first pole position in a prototype, as well as a top four finish in the championship standings.
All three drivers in the #2 United Autosports Liger JS P320 have shared GT racing experience. Whilst Bailey drove for the team last year in the GT4 European Series, winning both Drivers’ and Teams’ Championship, Josh and Finn have both raced the Porsche 911 GT3 in a variety of championships.
United Autosports set their sights on preparing for the prologue and opening round of the 2022 European Le Mans Series at Paul Ricard with all their driver line-ups for this season now confirmed.
