IMSA VP Racing Sportscar Challenge Champion Bijoy Garg will make his European Le Mans Series debut in 2024, racing in the LMP2 Pro class with United Autosports alongside Paul di Resta and Fabio Scherer.
This drive adds to the 21-year-old’s commitments with United to race in the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s LMP2 class.
“I’m looking forward to racing in Europe,” says Garg, “new circuits, new challenges … I really enjoyed driving the LMP2 at my test with United Autosports in Portimão, which is where we’ll be racing in the final of what I’m determined will be a successful European Le Mans Series season.”
Indian-American, California-based Garg was crowned IMSA VP Racing Sportscar Challenge Champion in 2023 after a dominant performance during the season, winning eight of the 12 races, and missing out on only one trip to the podium in what was his first season racing prototypes.
He also celebrated his first victory in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2023, taking a class win at Petit Le Mans.
“The dual programme we have signed with Bijoy is really exciting,” says Richard Dean, United Autosports CEO.
“He’s had such a strong rookie sportscar season in the USA, so we’re looking forward to seeing him develop in the LMP2 in both IMSA and ELMS. We came away with the title of European Le Mans Series LMP2 Pro vice-champions in 2023 and, with the addition of Bijoy to the team, I’m confident we can achieve even more success in 2024.”
