Juan Manuel Correa will make 🌠his IMSA SportsCar Championship debut in this month’s Sebring 12 H🃏ours.

The🎃 25-year-old has been signed by United Autosports to contest the four remaining rounds of IMSA’s Michelin Le ಌMans Cup, which includes races at Watkins Glen, Indianapolis and Road Atlanta in addition to the round-the-clock enduro at Sebring International Raceway

Correa�🉐� will drive United’s #2 ORECA 07-Gibson in the LMP2 class alongside Nick Boulle and Ben Hanley, replacing Garnet Patterson as the crew’s designated silver-rated driver.

“I’m thrilled to be back racing stateside after ⭕an extended period in Europe,” said Correa.

“IMSA has been on my radar for a while, so it is exciting ⛄to join the grid for the remaining endurance events. I’m eager to start working with my new teammates and team, I am confident we will fi☂nd shared success.”

The Sebring outing on 15 March will mark Correa’s return to sportscar racing and specifically the LMP2 division after a ye꧅ar’s absence༒.

The  Ecuadorian-American previously appeared in the European Le Ma꧟ns Series and the World Endurance Championship with Prema between 2022-23 , scoring a maiden victory in the Portimao round of the former series in ‘22.

He also made his Le Mans 24 Hours debut two years ago together with Filip Ugran and Bent Viꦐscaal.

However, Correa took a break from sportscar last year to return to Formula 2, the 𒀰championship in which he suffered critical injuries to his leg𓄧s at Spa-Francorchamps in 2019. 

Joining DAMS at the advent of the series’ new era with Dallara’s F2 2024 car, he 🎶scored a podium at Zandvoort in July before splitting with the team with two rounds remaining in the season.

“It is great to welcome Juan to the IMSA team,” said Ric🍃h🗹ard Dean, United Autosports CEO. “I’ve been keeping an eye on his progress in endurance racing and, with an ELMS race win and solid results in the WEC, it’s clear he will be a strong addition to our line- up. 

"Our #2 IMSA crew had huge potential at Daytona and with the addition of Juan and a bit more luck on our side, I look for🅺ward to celebrating their IMSA successes this season.”
