United Autosports are delighted to confirm that Jim McGuire, Duncan Tappy and Andrew Bentley will return to the team for the 2021 European Le Mans Series.
Jim has been part of the United Autosports team since the end of 2016, when he joined them for the Gulf 12 Hours. He then entered the Michelin Le Mans Cup with United for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons, while also supporting the team through his AERO Sustainable Paint Technology business. Andrew has been part of the team for many years now in various roles, standing in for drivers who were unable to race in both 2017 and 2019, making his full time United Autosports debut at the start of the 2020 season. Duncan joined the team for the first time in 2020, but has known members of the team since his Formula Ford days.
Jim MCGuire: “I love the team and love racing in Europe. It’s been a great five years with United so far and they’ve been a great partner for AERO Sustainable Paint Technology too. It’s great to be part of a top team. Next year I will be aiming to improve and will be working on those top-five finishes with Duncan and Andrew. I think we’ve got a great line up. I can’t wait.”
Andrew Bentley: “Racing with United in 2020 was fantastic. I’ve known Richard and the core crew from the early 2000’s so it’s been great to be part of the team. It takes the pressure off. One of the unique things about United is that it’s such a family atmosphere, which is great. I’ve never driven round the Red Bull Ring and every driver I’ve spoken to loves it so I’m excited for that.”
Duncan Tappy:“I think I settled into United very well this year. I’ve known a lot of the guys since my Formula Ford years and they made me feel at home and it’s been a lot of fun. It was awesome to get a podium at Paul Ricard in 2020 so we will be aiming for some more of those next year. I’m most looking forward to building on what we’ve learnt this year with the #3 crew. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Jim and Andrew as well to build on that.”
