United Autosports will field young single-seater racer Frederick Lubin as the final driver in their 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship line-up.
The silver-ranked 18-year-old clinched eight podiums and one win in the 2022 Euroformula Open Championship and will join 2020 WEC champions Phil Hanson and Filipe Albuquerque in the #22 ORECA 07.
Following experience in Formula 4 (2020) British Formula 3 (2021) and Euroformula (2022), British driver Lubin tested at Portimao with United following the ELMS season, Lubin also tested (for Vector Sport) at the Rookie test day in Bahrain.
Frederick Lubin: “I’m super excited to drive for United Autosports this year, I’ll be in the #22 car in the World Endurance Championship with Phil Hanson and Filipe Albuquerque. I can’t wait to get started … I think it’s going to be an incredible year. Massive thank you to Richard [Dean] for giving me the opportunity, and the rest of the United Autosports team, I’ll see you in Sebring.”
Richard Dean: “The WEC gets stronger and more competitive each year, but we have a driver line up in both our cars which are capable of winning. Car #22 has our previous WEC titles winners in Phil and Filipe and an exciting young talent in Freddie. We expect to be fighting for podiums at each event.”
